MANOS UNIDAS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Powered by Community, Driven by Youth

Our next Athlete of the Week is Ricky!

Ricky loves monster trucks, dinosaurs, and soccer. He’s always willing to try any sport and especially misses playing soccer. Ricky also enjoys spending time outside biking, skipping rocks, and hanging out with his pet turtle, Jenny, who even skateboards at the park with him! When he’s relaxing indoors, he loves watching videos about how to make slime.

Way to go, Ricky! Keep exploring, playing, and having fun!

MANOS UNIDAS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Powered by Community, Driven by Youth

Our next Athlete of the Week is Theodore!

Theodore has played soccer before, but this is his very first season of baseball—and he’s excited for the adventure! He loves all things Minecraft, enjoys building with Legos, and is a true Hot Wheels connoisseur. When he’s not playing or creating, Theodore loves spending time with his family watching movies and singing car karaoke.

We can’t wait to see all the fun and memories this baseball season brings for Theodore! Great job, Theodore!
