Dubai Little League Baseball - A's

Connor's regular season of baseball with Dubai Little League (DLL) began in November and ran through the middle of March. It was an awesome season of ball for Connor, who was one of the oldest kids on his team. He was a natural leader on his team and throughout the league. This year he played for the 12U A's, which was interestingly the same team he played for when he began his baseball career at age 9. The DLL A's team was such an incredible group of coaches and players. Jeff was one of the assistant coaches and Connor sure enjoyed all of the extra time with his Dad.

Because Connor was one of the oldest players, he was given many opportunities on the field to make some amazing plays. He began the season as one of the starting pitchers, but he quickly cemented his role as starting catcher due to his experience at that position. He made some incredible plays both on offense and defense throughout the season.

Somewhere around December, Connor pulled a hamstring muscle which ended up kicking off a bit of a mid-season slump for him. But as the season progressed and playoffs were around the corner, Connor made it back to his usual form and contributed tremendously to his team's success. Our DLL A's ended up taking 1st place in the Majors Division, a huge accomplishment and testament to the boys' chemistry as a team. It was an exciting and fulfilling season of baseball for all of us.

During one of the A's practices early in the season, a fellow parent captured some cool photos of Connor in action. I couldn't resist sharing.
