My wife and I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything Will C. and Eric J. did to make National Middle School Dual teams come together. Also a big THANK YOU to Tom B., Dal E. and Tim M. for coaching the gold team, they did a great job. Then we can’t forget the other coaches and parents, because without them this couldn’t have taken place THANK YOU SO MUCH. It takes very special and dedicated people to make an event like this take place and it seems here in Kansas we have those very people.
Devon had a great time and I am sure he will never forget this opportunity. What a great experience for him and the other kids from Kansas. My wife and I thought it was great to see kids and parents from across the State who before this weekend had never met, come together and cheer for each other as if they had been a team for several years. Also it was great to see coaches who had never met a kid, coach that kid as if they had been coaching them for several years. They all truly became a TEAM.
Our hope is that many more kids in years to come will have this same opportunity. The experience and camaraderie, gained during this weekend is unmatched. The tournament was very well run, and the experience of having the dual team format was exciting and gave these kids the opportunity to participate in duals similar to what they will be soon facing in their high school years.
Will, if there is anything that I can do to help ensure that future kids get this opportunity, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I feel that Kansas kids should have this opportunity and if there is anything I can do to help make sure this happens, I will.
WAY TO GO TEAM KANSAS – GOLD, BLUE AND RED!!!
