They played 2 games a week for 4 weeks, won all 8 games and played the final this Sunday, winning 5-2! It’s unbelievable how stressful it can get wanting them to win, even though they’re still so young; all the parents had their hearts in their throats! I love that he is a year younger than his age group, and he’s getting maximum exposure and game time!
