OT:Youth Sports I
Saturday, September 27, 2014 8:13 PM
Today is a good day. It's like a repeat of last Saturday. Last Saturday was an intense day of youth sports for my family. Today was some more of the same.
One niece who plays soccer shut out one half as a goalie, scored as a midfielder, and set up the assist on another goal.
After that game, another niece who plays softball hit two homers, played catcher for the whole game, and threw out a base runner.
I don't know how many of y'all have kids, grand kids, nieces and nephews or younger siblings. If you do and they play youth sports, go out there and support them. It's hella fun yelling on the sidelines. The kids love it. Y'all remember when it was us out there. When you're a kid, it's about the game and only the game.
I've lucked out and have had many nieces and nephews who were both competitive and athletic. It's been amazing watching them go from t-ball to travel ball, white belt to black, Pop Warner to JV, and even a 2 time tennis MVP.
Sometimes it can get hectic and crowded with 2-5 games a Saturday but what the fuck, they're only kids once. We'll have strippers for a long, long time.
