End of Season

 Max's last football practice was last night and his last game is tomorrow. He has had a great time playing this season, much better than last year - since they actually won a few games, and is a little sad to see it coming to an end. I, on the other hand, am excited that he will just be playing in one sport again for awhile. I'm exhausted just watching him play two!
Coach Rob asked him if he would like to play in the Jag Bowl for the next two weekends, but he already has a hockey tournament next weekend so he had to tell him maybe next year. As the coach he wanted the team to have the experience of going to the championships, even though they didn't win enough games to qualify for it this year. So he signed up the players that are available to go play in the bowl game and have the chance at a title for this season, he believes in his team and wanted them to end it with a bang.



Max with Coaches - Rob, Mark, and Josh

Markus hasn't missed a game yet, he will be there tomorrow.
Max also was invited to try-out for a super league baseball team tomorrow. But I don't know how he will fit it in, between his football game and his hockey game, since it is in the afternoon as well. His baseball coach, Rob, from last year sent me an email the other day asking him to come and try-out. This super league team, as he explained it, "will play in tournaments only. The reason for not doing a spring league is, we do not want to take away from regular league play and we don’t want to burn the kids out on baseball, because we will also play into the fall. As most of you know my intention is to maintain this “Super League” team for hopefully many seasons. The reason I put that in quotes is because we are a different type of “Super League” team because we are made up of one league. Most teams (probably all) we are playing against are comprised of kids from everywhere. For example, the Sidewinders (ranked #1 national) have a kid from St. George, that is about the extreme but it just shows how special these kids are, to have as much talent in one spot as we do, is a pretty cool deal."
