The coaches are super nice guys and very encouraging to the entire team. The players earn stickers for their helmets for each hit they get during a game. They also earn defense awards. But the most coveted prize of all is THE STICK!
THE STICK is awarded each game to the player with the best hits that game. Preston has several hit stickers on his helmet, but he finally won THE STICK in his last game with multiple whacks to the outfield -- even though one hit was caught by a friend on the other team. Ironically, that kid was awarded the game ball by his coach for his fantastic catch!

Preston is soooo proud of that little carved piece of wood and has carried around it everywhere. He has to give it back at the next game, but there are still a few more games and a few more opportunities to earn it back.
We're very proud of him -- Stick or no stick!
