Looking at it from another perspective, have the parents been ASKED to lend a hand, or even made aware of the fact that they're welcome to help at practices etc. Especially at the T-Ball age I don't think the parents have any idea what to expect, much less realize that they can actually get out there and help. I've found that if parents are asked to come out and catch throws from the outfield, shag fly balls, help line fields, or whatever, that at least two or three are more than willing. But if you don't ask they'll go on in blissful ignorance, thinking you've got everything under control and that their place is outside the fence.
