Not uncommon.

We're not super into sports, but my younger son was curious enough that he did one season of just about everything out there. He was mostly curious and looking for something fun.

When he was 7, he tried football, and the whole thing was insane. They would 4 hour practice 6 days a week and one game. For fucking 7 year olds. This isn't college tryouts. It was a 26 hour per week commitment.

Unless your kid is some sort of 1 in a million prodigy, any parent who is going to invest this much time to have their 7 year old in local town league has got to be a bit nuts.

The parents would yell at the kids during practice for not understanding strategy of plays. Just nuts. We did the one season and noped tf out of there.
