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!
