Awesome!!! As a fellow coach/parent who spends at least 4 evenings, and weekends per week at a ballpark, football field, or basketball court I can appreciate the pride you're feeling. My son and daughter are both headlong into baseball and softball season, and I'm starting to feel a little swell of pride myself. At 10, my daughter is showing some real skills, and hasn't sat for a single private lesson (which seems to be too damn common these days). After her fist season, she was immediately approached to play on a travel team. She busted one out to the fence last night on the fly... not bad for a girl
Congrats to you, your team and family. They're only kids once. Take lots of pictures.
