How to Stay Organized as a Baseball Mom

Keeping organized as a Baseball Mom is tough. Balancing work, family and sports schedules requires expert-level coordination. As our kids get older, baseball family management becomes even tougher – our ballplayers practice more, and for longer periods of time. Where we used to have a couple months’ break, Baseball becomes a year round sport, with a short break off for the holidays before starting up with winter training. Tournaments and games are further away. The cost of travel (hotels, food, gas, tournament fees, etc.), uniforms, gear and training goes up. And if you have multiple kids, playing multiple sports, the schedule chaos increases exponentially.

So what’s a sports parent to do? How on earth do we balance all this chaos – supporting our kids playing the sport they love, while also managing a family and household?

My single best tip is to use a good planning system. A good planning system, in whatever format that works best for you, becomes the key to organization.

Organization is never more important than during the busy Travel Baseball season. As Baseball Moms, we juggle work schedules with our kids’ commitments to their team. Not only are we shuttling kids to and from camps, practices, and games, but we’re also trying to keep our households running when we’re spending the entire weekend at tournaments. Finding the time and the motivation to do it all can be overwhelming and stressful!

Checklists for Baseball Families

As an organization and lifestyle blog for Baseball Moms, I love providing free resources. The link to my FREE Checklists and Printables section is here. In this section, you’ll find my most popular printables and checklists, including a Baseball Mom Bag Checklist (i.e. What to Pack in your Baseball Mom Bag), Player Checklists for Before Games and After Games, as well as printable Idea Guides for Healthy Snacks and more! Hopefully these resources are helpful, as I love making them and sharing them.

Beyond checklists and printable cheat sheets, every Baseball Mom needs a good organization system for maintaining schedules and important information. When organizing your household, you need to find the best method for you and your family. Some people prefer physical planners. Some prefer virtual planners. Using phone apps is another great way to keep yourself organized. I personally use a mix of phone apps, Alexa Skills, and good old fashioned paper planning documents to keep myself and our household organized.  

The 2022 Baseball Mom Planner

Because a Planner specifically for Baseball Moms didn’t exist, I created one myself. The Baseball Mom Planner, along with my bestselling Team Mom Printables Pack, is one of the top sellers in my Etsy shop (and it was also the very first product I created).

The Baseball Mom Planner helps keep you organized while balancing crazy family work, sports and life schedules, along with keeping you on top of all the things that you need to do to manage your household.

Designed with Baseball Moms in mind, this planner is not currently available in hard copy, but is instead an Instant Download that can either be printed out or used on an Ipad (through a PDF application such as GoodNotes.

Planning Pages for Busy Schedules

The Planner includes pages for Yearly, Monthly, Weekly and Daily Planning with the following pages:

  • Weekly Schedule
  • Family Calendar (Room to enter up to 5 family member’s weekly schedules)
  • Daily Planner
  • Dated Calendar pages for every month through December 2022.
  • ‘At a Glance’ pages for every month through December 2022. Each page includes sections for important reminders and To Do’s.

Baseball Team Information

As a Baseball Mom, I know how important it is to keep Player names, Parents Names, and Coach Information handy. The following Baseball Team Information Pages were all created with this in mind. Since this Planner is printable, you can print out multiple copies of any pages you need, as needed. Since I have two ball players, on two different teams, this is super helpful!

  • Player Roster
  • Team List
  • Field Information
  • Coach Contact Information
  • Team Contact Information
  • Parent Contact Information
  • 2022 Tournaments (Dates)
  • Weeklong Tournament Planner (Schedule, Field, Uniforms)
  • Weekend Tournament Planner (Schedule, Field, Uniforms)
  • Tournament Travel Planner (for overnight or out of state tournaments)

Baseball Checklists and Printables

There’s No Place Like Home Plate was originally envisioned as resource for Baseball Mom’s who struggle with organization. The following Checklists and Printables are included in the Baseball Mom Planner:

  • Uniform Size Tracker
  • Equipment TrackerBaseball Mom Must Have’s Checklist
  • Game and Tournaments Prep Checklist (for parents)
  • Before Practice and Games Checklist (for players)
  • After Practice and Games Checklist (for players)
  • Pre-Season Checklist (for parents)
  • Post-Season Checklist (for parents)
  • Donating Used Equipment (resource for parents)
  • How to Clean a Baseball Uniform (printable guide)

Household Management Pages

Because I know that you’re not only ‘raising ballers’, but also trying to run a household, I include the following Household Management Forms:

  • Meal Planners (three different formats)
  • Grocery List
  • Budget/Income/Expense Tracker
  • Password Tracker

This 77 page planner can be printed out all at once, or as needed. You can build your own customized Baseball Mom Planner by picking and printing the documents that suit your needs.
