All-Star

For summer, we like to take a break from everything and just enjoy not having a schedule or running the kids to different activities. The exception is piano, because that is something that should be consistent.
But one week into June, Sambo decided he wanted to try-out for the All-Star baseball team in our area. BS took him and when they came back, he told me that Sambo had done amazingly well at the try-outs. Soon we received an email congratulating him for making the team! All of his practice during regular season had paid off! BS thought he should be part of this too and volunteered to help coach.

Coach Sam and Coach Buck

He played for the Lone Peak Knights and for the next 3 weeks they had practice and/or tournament games everyday. Coach Buck (Mendenhall) was very serious about his All-Star team. They practiced at his house because he had not only a huge grassy field, but also 2 batting cages. Even on the days they had a game they would meet a few hours before and have batting practice. Sambo played catcher, 2nd base, center field, and pitcher. He really likes pitching and is really good at catching. He also found his swing. He made it to base all but one time he was up to bat. He learned so much and we are very grateful to Coach Buck for teaching him so much about baseball and some of life's lessons.

His tournaments were in West Valley and Tooele - wow. We were back and forth from Snowbird one of the weeks. This was definitely a commitment we weren't planning on this summer but we are soooooo glad we decided to support Sambo in this. I'm extra glad and happy that BS wanted and was able to manage his schedule so that he could help coach the team. I know it means a lot to Sambo. We look forward to next baseball season for sure!
