Play Ball

We tried something new this year.
In the past, the boys have played t-ball and baseball in the city league.
We no longer enjoyed it so we haven't played in several years.
This year Nolan played with a homeschool baseball team.
I can honestly say we enjoyed it.  We have never had so much
fun with organized baseball as we did this year.
The team is called Addison Faithful.  It's a group of homeschool boys ages 8 to 15.
They divide the boys into two squads and they play each other every week.
It was such a family atmosphere.
Everyone cheered everyone else, no matter what 'side' they were on.


They had a bible verse, 2 Peter 3.18 they were expected to memorize.
Before each game they had warm up time and a devotional taught by the coach.
Nolan has enjoyed playing and improved his game this year.

The coach places the younger players here...  let's face it,
a safer place to be when you have 15 year olds who crush the ball.
