Both boys played baseball through the Brentwood Ball Club again. Rylan was on the Kansas City Royals. We picked KC because it is one of our assistant coach's (and his son's) favorite team. We watch very little baseball and don't have much of a preference :)
Coaches (L to R): Chris, Brian, Brett (missing - Joey)
Top Row (L to R): Eli, Jack, Jackson, Bryce, Sam, Hunter
Bottom Row (L to R): Jude, Rylan, Gavin, Luke, Matthew, Carson
Rylan's team was the runner up for the 8 year old division in the end of season tournament! This was the first time either of the boys had made it to the championship game. Our team was leading most of the game and lost by one in the last inning. It was a great game and we are so proud of this team. Even in the tournament our coaches gave all the kids the opportunity to play in the infield (unlike their opponents). We have a great group of coaches which has made coaching baseball much more fun for Brian.
Carter was on the Minnesota Twins. His coach has twins on the team so it was very fitting :)
Coaches (L to R): Leo, Jeff, Gavin
Top Row (L to R): Collins, Maddox, Asher, Jalen, Cam, Jack Henry
Bottom Row (L to R): Luke, Christopher, Carter, Nate, Gavin, Riggins
The spring season was so much more fun than the fall. The fall was the first season these boys played kid pitch and the games were painfully slow. The spring was much better with pitching quality having improved and gaining a few more experienced players on our team. These boys were great teammates and really seemed to enjoy playing together.
Carter and Rylan played soccer through the Brentwood YMCA again. Rylan had generally the same team he's had for several seasons now. The boys play so well together and improve each season. We love this group of boys and hope they can continue to stay together on the same team.
I ended up missing a lot of Rylan's soccer games because I was at Carter's baseball games. We struggled to get a team photo. Another mom took this one for me at half time when all the boys were at a game.
Top Row (L to R): Mac B, Fletcher, Mac H, Jameson, Angelo
Bottom Row (L to R): Liam, Rylan, Cooper, Harrison, Frank
I got this one at the last game when we had a couple of kids missing.
Carter had a lot of the same players on his soccer team in the spring as he did in the fall. Only a few of those kids had we been playing with before that. We again struggled with attendance (and communication of attendance) for all our new kids (which meant Rylan got to play some extra games). We have recruited some school friends for this upcoming season and hope it will make soccer more fun for Carter again (though I think the soccer camp he did this summer and having a lot of friends on his indoor team really helped his enthusiasm for soccer return).
Getting eight in a team photo was the best I could do this season :)
Top Row (L to R): Jack Henry, Mark, Athen, Calum
Bottom Row (L to R): Adam, Carter, Edison, Jude
Missing: Ishaan, Jack
