KK 9U Pope/Curro 2021-2022

9️⃣ of our 1️⃣1️⃣ players have been together since 6U all stars.

1️⃣0️⃣ of our 1️⃣1️⃣ players have been together since 7U.

Our families have spent COUNTLESS hours together over the last 3️⃣ years… in the heat, in the cold, in the early morning hours and plenty of late nights.

Our sons have become brothers.

Our other kids have become friends and travel ball siblings, aka the real MVPs.

We’ve become an unofficial family.

Our 9U season came to an end last night, and we as coaches and parents are SO proud of what these kids have accomplished together over the last three years. We’ll have a recap post to come soon with some highlights, but for now we just want to say… Crushers / Knights, now and forever! ⚾️🧡💚
