Tball Party

usually after the last game.. you send a note out to the parents.. that about 1 hour after you all meet for pizza.. or at someone's house for a pool party.. or something like that... find out who will pay first.. will it be the coach.. or will all the parents pay like 7 dollars a kid (only the team ) which will include pizza and soda and tip... or make it 10 dollars a kid which the left over can go towards a gift for the coach... if family members and other kids want to attend they will have their own table and pay their own bill.. it's easier that way.. u sually when we do a coach's gift.. i ask for 5 dollars per family on the side and buy the coach a small gift card.. if two coaches.. then i buy 1/2 gift card for each... like 30 each or whatever you collect..

Hi SB,
I am in my third season of being the team mom for my son's team. Typically here (in DFW), the team party is held on the weekend after the season is over. BUT, I would not schedule it yet as you may have rained out games and have make-up games at the end of the season.
There are a few ways of doing the team party:
1) reserve a private room at a pizza place and have everyone pay the day of
OR
2) collect money ahead of time for everyone and have the party at a home and have pizza delivered for the team

OR - any combo of the above.

Some other things to think of as team mom:
- You will need to collect money from the team near the end of the season for a gift for the Coach (gift card to a sport's store is always popular).
- You will need to check on awards for the team (many Fall Ball leagues do not have awards ceremonies). We do small trophies and certificates for each of our boys.
- Also, if you aren't already, taking pictures of the team throughout the season is fun- you can put together a scrapbook or if you are good with the computer, you can do a montage of the season on a DVD (many simple programs out there). I do one with music on Powerpoint and then burn each child a copy.

Best wishes for a great season,
R. :)

We always do the team parties right after the game in a grove in the park with pizza and cookies/cake or something. I have done mornings though with donuts and bagels if the game ended b/f noon.

It depends entirely on when the coach wants to hold it. Many kids have their party still in uniform so they get to show their team spirit a bit. We also had coaches who never even considered a team party after the season. It is entirely what the coach or parents want to do.

I have seen and done both. We have done it right after the game with everyone bringing something. We have also done a pool party at our house after the last game (same day as last game or another day whatever works).

Dont forget your sweet treat at the party!
