Fall Baseball

The boy is playing Fall Baseball on his middle school team. Last year he couldn't try out, as unbeknownst to me, tryouts are held the first week of August and we had scheduled vacation that week. [Seems normal to me that if school isn't scheduled to start until the third week of August, you should be able to schedule a vacation in early August - well, I was wrong. All the Fall sports start practicing in early August and for the more competitive sports, you need to be present for the try outs in order to make the team.]

This year, we cut our vacation out East short by a day or two, he participated in baseball tryouts and made the JV Team. The rest of August was filled with Cross Country practice in the morning and Baseball practice at night. It was a perfect combination to get his sleep scheduled transitioned back to getting up early.

Right now, his priority is to Baseball, but the season ends well before Cross Country, so he'll be able to run in some meets later in September and well into October.







Being on the team has been a lot of fun - we know many of the other players from Little League and it has been nice to see the team perform and have fun while they are at it.
