Jake played for baseball for North Reading’s Triple-A league Durham Bulls this spring.
On defense, Jake usually played catcher. He likes that position because he’s involved in every pitch. His team liked him playing there because he’s very good at blocking errant pitches, keeping the infield aware, and making the throw to second base in case of [...]

Josh’s team was made up exclusively of seventh graders in a league dominated by the noticeably larger eighth graders. Nonetheless, his team played in a very challenging division and more than held [...]

Josh played two sessions of indoor soccer with some of his teammates from his fall team and a few other guys. Here’s a picture of him making a save on a pretty much point blank shot which illustrates two things: 1) he’s a pretty good goalkeeper and 2) it’s hard to get a sharp picture [...]

Josh played on a U14 team made up exclusively of 7th graders - meaning they’ll all have another year in the same age group. It was the first year for these guys on a full size field, [...]

Josh spent a week at Goalkeeper Camp in August. The camp was hosted by John’s prep school alma mater out in Easthampton.
Josh enjoyed living in the dorm, hanging with his buddies (including one guy he knew from Camp North Woods), and learned a ton of new soccer skills. He came home a bit bruised and [...]
