Checking in... has everyone regained feeling in their legs yet? Asking for a friend. 😅💜

, you were a blast.

We finished 2–1 in pool play and just missed playoffs, but man, what a team we have. This team showed up. Every match was full of grit, heart, and togetherness.

Summer season, you treated us well. Thanks for the memories, the bruises, and the excuse to spend the weekends with some pretty incredible humans.

See y’all after a little R&R. 💜🏉
