Also wanted to share a message from a parent: (Couldn’t agree with you more Carly-this is a great group of kids, parents and coaches)

“I posted this as a comment but wanted to share with you all, how excited and happy and emotional I am about having Elliot be part of this fantastic team!!
This group of kids keep on impressing me left and right!! Such a great group that continue to lift each other up, hold each other accountable and being leaders by examples!! This is what I wanted for my kid and I got that from this group of phenomenal athletes!! Love these people from the students to the adults that also are in my same boat!!

Tonight we had Carter show up with the promised quarter pounder for Elliot after his PR today!! So proud of them both!!

The coaches are amazing every single day, you teach these kids to push and strive to do there best!! The encouragement is outstanding and I know what a difference it has made on Elliot because of his continue PR!

Thanks you all for your efforts!! Appreciate you all!!"
