Will had his first tournament weekend with select baseball. I drug the bigs out with us for day 1 since we only had 2 games and both in the morning and even with the 6am wake up call they were troopers. We got destroyed by a team that ended up being the number 1 seed 19-1 but game 2 was better at 10-4. Will even tried pitching... didn't do well at all but it was interested coach let him try. Our coach and club is very much about letting them try all positions and training them in all positions. We've still got a ton of work to do but he did well getting an out.
The next morning was against a team MUCH more our level and we lost only 10-12. The boys did so much better and although Will didn't get on base or make an out he said he still had fun. In the end that's all that matters but at some point he'll realize that his skills aren't quite the same as others his age and we shall see when that day comes what he says. For now we'll travel all over the metro and pay for extra training as much as we can due to the fact that he loves it so very much. Plus, he's super handsome in his little outfit!
