Night Hawks

Ryleigh has been playing a little ball too this season. She is playing Major's softball for the Night Hawks. The best part of this season is she is playing with Jayda (cousin) and the worst part of this season is they are 1-15! ouchie.

 Saturday is the first play-off game. Wish us luck.

I think the team has struggled so much this season because we have three girls that are playing up this year, meaning they are too young to play this age, but they are playing anyways. They are not bad players, but they are young, so they are just not as experienced.

 Their coach has done stuff to try and motivate them to win and play hard - but I think it has been lost on most of the girls. I, personally, think he has been too nice to the girls this season. I am not suggesting that he needs to be mean, but I also think that when they make an error it is okay to call them out on it. Apparently some other parents on the team disagree. When you coach with only positivity you end up with a losing team. I am just saying....

 The girls did have a car wash one Saturday to raise money for the league, so that we didn't have to sell anything or get money from the parents (which is appreciated!) The girls all had fun together and I think it was good for them to hang out and just have fun, without the stress of being in a game.

At the end of the car wash coach announced the All-Star nominations for the team. Ryleigh and Jayda were both nominated to go onto All-Star try-outs.Yay girls! 

As a side note, Coach did put in a good word for both Ryleigh & Jayda with a club coach and both girls got an invite for a club team called East Valley Pride! So even though this season is ending, we will keep going. As aways.
