Light attendance at Church the last several Sundays

The Church I attend every Sunday morning is usually packed at all 3 Sunday sessions
8am
9:30am
11am
It’s not a huge mega Church. I think the sanctuary has a capacity of around 300-400
The past several weeks - basically since the start of baseball and softball seasons, I have noticed that the attendance has been very low
Trying to figure out what was going on, I realized the problem.
Baseball and Softball games and practices for kids are now being scheduled and played on Sundays
When I was growing up, scheduling games and practices on Sundays was a big no-no.
I started thinking about it… if it is like this all around the country, that’s a big problem and a terrible way to push kids further and further away from Church.
I think it’s kind of messed up that leagues and coaches are scheduling games and practices on Sundays (which is preventing the young generation from experiencing a family Sunday at Church together.)
Am I right or wrong here?

Tournament baseball certainly contributes in places it is popular (Louisiana). I passed a local baseball/softball complex at 9am this morning and it was packed.

And do we have to be in a pew to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

Kids are young only once. No JuCo scollys at the church either.

I think Sunday practice option for my son's 6 year old baseball team, and the coach was like nope. I'm thankful for that and I don't even go to church.

Good on you for going to church on Sunday, but you have to be a realist and understand that lots of people don’t share your values.

We don't even schedule anything at night around here on Wednesday night because of church.

Absolutely right.
Worshipping money and balls isn’t good.

People will always prioritize what's important to them.
People stopped going to church before they started going to baseball.

Living alone is tough but stop posting every fricking thing that comes to your small mind.

You are not right or wrong.
People just going to keep on living their lives how they want to.

It seems like a lot less people are going to church..I used to be able to go to Costco at 10AM on Sunday and get in and out.. Now there is a line when it opens.
It's a travesty

Lot of powder days recently.
Powder days are gifts from Jesus, who wants you to shred. Makes sense to me.

Parents could just say No but they don’t

People don't have to go to church to be religious or prove their faith. There are some people who don't really live the most godly life from Monday - Sunday but goes to church every Sunday.
Of course people have the right to have any views they want and if you think different that's cool, but I think people can teach their kids to be good people without using religion as a reason why. Do you go to a church that's in a certain area where the HS might have been in the playoffs? I think the state championships for softball were this weekend.
With that said, there is a reason a lot of these kids get burned out on softball and baseball when they get to high school. Its non stop. Its HS ball, then its summer travel ball, then fall ball. I have no idea what is trying to be accomplished when playing that much of one sport before these kids even get to HS, but that's a different topic.

News flash. People are taking spring vacations.

Playing ball is more important to Jace’s and Braxton’s parents than Jesus.
Think about that.
First hand experience: my brother and his family left town this weekend because there was a baseball tournament over the course of the past two days in another city, and spent all last Sunday (starting at 8:00am) at baseball practices in another town. fricking silliness.

Who would schedule a practice before noon on a Sunday though? That seems crazy even without the church issue

Kids are in school, they have two days a week for games and one of those happens to be Sunday. We attend mass when traveling for tournaments, just not at our regular church
