Towards the end of the season, Coach Rich told us he had nominated Nate along with 5 other kids for All Stars. We found out later that the All Star coaches had been scouting the games looking for kids for their teams. We were so happy to learn that Nate had in fact made the team. It was bittersweet though because Nate was the only one chosen from his team. I wish everyone of them could have made it because our Spring season with the Angels was WONDERFUL. We had great kids and great parents. Anyway, Nate made the Blue Squad. When you're selected for All Stars, you sign a paper right up front acknowledging you are okay with 5 practices per week. So far, we've been at the park literally every night for almost 2 hours! The best thing is that Nate is totally okay with that. Even after practice is over, he wants to stay and throw the ball or practice hitting with Allan for another 30 mins to an hour! The kid eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. They had a ceremony at the regular season championship game to recognize all 24 kids who made All Stars. They all got medals that said All Stars on it. The 24 makes up 2 teams of 12 which will respresent Dacula. We'll be playing tournaments in Buford and Lawrenceville. I hope this All Star coaching will help him when he "graduates" to PeeWee this fall. I'll post more pictures of him in his sharp-looking uniform once we start games this weekend! Goooooo Dacula All Stars BLUE SQUAD!
