The lazy days of summer will end soon, but for one father-son duo, playing catch isn’t just a warm weather sport. Last summer, Reed McCashland and his 10-year-old son Colby set a goal to play catch every day for a year – and they did it! Rain or shine, at home or away, they’ve tossed the same worn baseball back and forth.

“Life gets busy. But when we set aside those [few] minutes every single day to spend time with each other, it gives us the chance to connect.” The priceless reward? Knowing his kids better and building core memories.

Watch Colby and his dad play ball!
