I nearly missed getting John Paul to his tryouts. Our family has been away from Little League for a few years so I'm out of the swing of it (pun intended.) My older boys never tried out at this age and I'm still a little confused about why tryouts were held for 6 year old players. We actually would have completely missed the tryouts if we hadn't stumbled upon them because we were at the field to watch our older friends play.
With a rush of adrenaline, borrowed bat & helmet, and sneakers made for style not baseball, John Paul took the field. He made all his fielding plays, catching grounders and throwing to second. His batting was great as was his run to second. Fifteen minutes and we're done.
I hope he lands on a fun team with great coaches. I hope I don't make any more errors (couldn't resist.)
