In the fall Timmy, and Tim, graduated to A Ball which is coach pitched instead of hitting off the tee. It was a big change for everyone! The kids really got the hang of fielding during this season! The games even started moving a little faster with outs ending some innings instead of the 4 run cap. The batting improved a lot too; it was a very developmental season!

Timmy also played soccer in the fall, which he had only been playing indoor winter soccer for the past few years. One day Nate was supposed to come over to play, but it depended on whether his big brother James had soccer or not, depending on rain. When I told Timmy that, he looked confused for a moment, then said, "Do you mean he plays soccer outside? I want to do that!" So, we signed him up for soccer as well! I was a little worried it would be too much for Timmy, especially on Saturday with morning soccer followed by Baseball. Timmy was fine, but it wore us, and Tyler, out!

Timmy is a very defensive soccer player. He is far more concerned with not being scored on then with being the one to score any goals. Even when assigned to playing Forward... Unfortunately his coach, while I'm sure a very nice person, and obviously a volunteer, was not much of an actual coach, which made it frustrating to watch. (Like when, during the 3rd game of the season, our team still didn't know how kick offs work...) But Timmy had a lot of fun, which is the most important part! And if he plays soccer again, we know of a couple different coaches to request now!
