Go Team!

There is no "I" in Team.  That's what you are always taught growing up.  Playing a team sport means much more than just personal growth and achievement.  It's one of the reasons I am thankful that all our kids play them.

Jackson has had a pretty good season, but his team has not.  It's been tough to watch, especially since they enjoyed so much success last year.  They finally started to turn a corner a few weeks ago, though, and their smiles came back.  Really, really great to see!

This is such an amazing group of boys.  We feel very fortunate to have found this team and will ride out the rough season together.

We love cheering for these boys.  Cooper has struggled for most of the season, with pitching and hitting.  He has been hitting 9th in the lineup for the a while now, and wasn't having much luck at the plate either.  A few weeks ago, though, he pitched an excellent game and then...wait for it...hit a grand slam!!!  Everyone was SO HAPPY for him!

And speaking of home runs, #7 got one himself in that same tournament!  

Go Jackson!!!

The Angels have had a tough season as well.  It's their first time in kid pitch, and they are playing in the 10U division, which means some kids are a whole 2 years old than our girls.

We are so proud of Lila for her sweet fielding skills, though!

She was extremely solid in the field this season, and played short-stop a little, 

but mostly third base, just like her brother.

They both have the arm to make the long throw to 1st base.  Get it girl!

Madi and Lila no longer play soccer or basketball together, but they are still the best of friends.

Next season, we hope to see Lila gain confidence at the plate.

I have no doubt that she can do it.

Hey batter, batter...

swing!

When she gets the hang of it, I know this smile will be on the field the whole time.
I can hardly wait.

The team that had a winning season were our precious little Superheroes!

Cameron still loves playing soccer...

and is always ready to warm up and score some goals.

Having Callum, aka "Goal Scoring Machine" on her team is a big bonus!

These kids are hustlers, for sure.  Stop that ball, Cami!
Most of the time, she was able to do just that.

All the kids love their coach...

and get as much enjoyment out of giving him hard high-fives as they do scoring goals!

Next season they are going to work on not playing defense against their own teammates!

Way to go, Cameron.  We love cheering for you!

Gooooooo Superheroes!
