3-24-09 Practice

We had another good practice. We had a 4 on 5 scrimage game. Everyone was able to hit several times and play in actual game like situations. We still have alot to work on, but they did great for their first time. Everyone is hitting the ball well! The defense was also fairly good. We are looking forward to our first game, this Saturday at 10:30, weather permitting. We will takes pictures at 9:50 the same morning, rain or shine. Thank you for getting your kids to practice and we'll see you Saturday!

Good Fun!

I was unable to attend practice last night, so no pictures. Sorry about that. Mike said practice was great.
All the kids were able to get time in the batting cage. They also practiced hitting using the "hit away" where the ball is attached to a pole and as they hit, the balls winds around the pole. When it unwinds, they hit it again. They also practiced hitting using the stick. I'll show a picture of it during an upcoming practice.
The kids practiced throwing to each other, using tennis balls, with gloves and without. They are doing a great job throwing! Thanks to all who came out.
Mike and I will not be at practice Saturday, but Mr. Bradley will be leading it for us. I hope you have a great practice, and we'll see you all next week!

Practice canceled 3-14-09

We are canceling the Saturday practice. Our next practice will be Tuesday at 6:15. Have a great weekend. :)

We had a great 1st practice. Stretching was the first thing we did. Next we lined up at home plate for base running. They all did great. We then practiced throwing tennis balls to each other, with gloves and without.

We broke up into 3 groups. One group hit baseballs with coach Mike on the field. Another group went to the outfield and worked on catching fly balls, using tennis balls. The last group went to the outfield and practiced hitting tennis balls. We rotated groups so all the kids went to each station.

Lastly, we had the kids in 2 groups at 2nd and short stop. Each kid would field the ball and throw to the bucket near the pitching mound. The kids were trying to hit the bucket and did well with that. The 2 groups tied on bucket hits. The kids loved this game.

We enjoyed meeting everyone. All the kids did a great job. We'll have alot of fun this season!
