It was a week of baseball frenzy for our little leaguer, this was his first time at the AAYBA World Series tournament<\/strong>. The tournament started of with a day of festivities, after registration the team did a cook-out, traded pins with other teams, participated in Home run derby, Fungoman fielding challenge, team throwing relay and just hung out.. boys beings boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From day 2 there were games held in different ballparks around the metroplex. Some teams were on a pro level, others had kids that were twice the size of my son, some teams were loud and unruly and some were just enthusiastic kids wanting to play ball!!  D played for the Dallas Patriots<\/strong> <\/a>team this season and this was first year playing tournament ball.  The organization works on not only baseball skills but teaches them to be better men – the kids were always in their best behavior, respectful, finished every game with prayer and gratitude<\/strong>.  The coaches have such a positive attitude and did not just get hung-up on winning games but focused on honing the teams skills.  We were really excited that D joined this Select team founded by Logan Stout<\/strong> that emphasizes on commitment to excellence and is passionate about development!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much these kids learn in team sports –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
