Fall Athletes

We had two little fall athletes in our house this year. Luke wanted to play soccer and Evan stuck with his favorite, baseball.

This wasn't Luke's first time to play soccer. It was actually his third. The first time Luke didn't even complete the season. It was a disaster. The second time I was his coach. That was probably a disaster in most people's eyes, but we he made it through the whole season.

This year Luke played with some other SGIS 1st grade boys. To say these boys had a blast is an understatement. This season was so much fun and Luke learned a whole lot about the game of soccer. He was coach by one of his bestie's mom and dad.

 Water breaks are important and sitting in Miss Lynne's chair with your friend who shares your name is mandatory!

Luke scored a couple goals this season. We were super proud of his hard work and dedication during the game. Of course a bribe never hurts...

The Gryphons!

Evan played Fall Baseball this year with Coach Dee and Coach Paul again. I really can't explain how amazing these two coaches are for my kid. They had a great season. Evan played all over the field. He still loves outfield but got some experience with the infield this year too. He even tried his hand at pitching and was really good!

We have so many A's hats, even I can wear one to support the team.

 Putting in the work!

His favorite thing to do in the backyard with dad.

Now you want to talk about cool. There is a coach on his team that while the game is going on will update this app so you can see everything real time! While I was in Vegas and Boston, I was able to follow along with the game. When we were in Vegas we even got the bartender, Steve, involved. He would come back every so often checking on 'little slugger'. Technology is so cool!

I love my kids want to be a part of a team. This age should be all about learning the game, learning how to respect coaches and umpires, but most importantly, how to play on a team. Go A's! Go Gryphons!
