Ball Kids from the TFC v River Plate game

[Parkdale]

not sure if this is public knowledge, but though the coordination of our very own Coach GT, the ball kids and 'player escorts' were all friends and family of the Red Patch Boys.

let's see if these photos work...

great job to everyone involved with this.
It makes me really proud of this organization when I see all those smiling faces!

little RPBs in training...haha

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

jono's son noah was there too - the lil' fell'er with robbo

[billyfly]

My son was a little disappointed he had to walk out River Plate. He had great, great fun though.

yeah, I'd be disappointed too. :D


still, it would be one cool experience for the little tykes,
and the kind of thing that makes lifetime fans out of them.

[Toronto_Bhoy]

Excellent! What a terrific experience for those kids!

Well done, Coach GT!

[acw]

very cool! :)

[Cashcleaner]

That's awesome. Hopefully in a few years Mikaela will get a chance to do the same.

[CoachGT]

My son was a little disappointed he had to walk out River Plate. He had great, great fun though.

Kinda figured that that might happen - 50/50 about which team you get.

I'm really happy that it went off without much of a hitch. I thnk the people from the team that went through stuff with the kids were great, and hope everyone had an experience that they'll remember for years to come! At least, until we try it again next year :)

[billyfly]

^ Thanks again for everything Gary. My son is a big DeRo fan so unless that was who he walked out, he would be disappointed. He had a great time.

[CoachGT]

Next we'll try to get the players to come out as escorts at one of the RPB sponsored teams' games :D

[billyfly]

^That would be GOLD. GOLD, I say. :party:

[Niall]

Great to see this. Cheers to all involved in the organization. Hopefully it will inspire our future TFC and team Canada stars.

Does it have to be kids walking them out?
Can we ever get RPG's to walk the players out? and possiblly give them their post game rub down?
Don't they need company in the hot tub after the game??

It was great seeing the RPB scarves on the kids!!

Oh my goodness I'm there! I call Jimmy B or DeRo!!

[Hitcho]

Yeah JonO said Noah loved it, although I got a text from him last night when the players were assigned and JonO was absolutely stoked that Noah was going out with Robbo - ha ha!

Superb effort Coach GT - please keep this up for the next four years so my daughter can also have the chance, ha ha! :D

[DOMIN8R]

Pics of the kids before the event being shown what to do, waiting, fed pizza, waiting, told to try on shirts - the asked to give them back, more waiting.....

Accept for the t-shirt incident and the waiting it was all aces.

You girls missed the competition at Gate 4 for their attention post game.

You should have seen some of the ladies and their choice of attire waiting for RP.

Never saw these kind of posts when Samuel was around and in need of some hot tub company. Such selective loyalty to your team... :D:D:D

Zero to sexy in two point four L-Wags.

[Roogsy]

This is great stuff...stuff like this is positive reinforcement of what TFC has done so well. Reach out to the kids!

[mmmikey]

was like... HEY is that my neice!?!

[Pinkie]

Oh my goodness I'm there! I call Jimmy B or DeRo!!

i'll take serioux...DAMN he's fine

[Nuvinho]

I was suprised no Ibbe last night? Is he hurt? on International Duty with the U20s or something?

As well, we didn't have any guest players. We are 3 players short of a full roster, kinda interesting why they haven't filled up 1 or 2 of those spots.

Wileman on the broadcast said he went with the US U20s.

[PJC]

Good job Coach. I'm sure the kids had fun yesterday at the game. It's great to see the kids involved like this.

[lintberg]

Great job Coach. Awesome!
I hope one day my son will have a chance to do this, he is only 3....so I guess we'll have to be patient for another 3 years or so.

[Kevvv]

At the end of the second video, there's moment where my son puts his hands over his ear and Robinson "pets" him on the head... Awesome experience for him and his parents :D

Hi
I finally got to uploading the pics of the Red Patch Kids and some from the game last night.
Thanks for organizing, my youngest escorted last year for final home game against Chicago - and was mighty pissed he had to walk the opposition out! Was happy last night - our 2 were with Velez and Gala.

BTW - I have dibs on Robbo! andyc and my kids know all about it!

[Bobo]

That's awesome. Hopefully in a few years Mikaela will get a chance to do the same.

Beautiful name. I might want to name my future little girl that.

[Joe Kool]

Here is the few photos that I managed to take with a set of almost dead batteries. Oh well, a few is better than none and looks like some other good shots on here.
