After seeing all the girls in the neighborhood play last year, Abby decided to sign up for Tball this year. She just made the cutoff which means all the girls are in Kindergarten except for Abby but it hasn't been an issue thankfully. The girls practiced for a few weeks and now it is all games. The coaches are so amazing with the girls and seem to have infinite patience! The team has shown great improvement.
The first game was adorable but quite a learning experience. Batting, running, paying attention, catching, throwing oh and paying attention... It was a lot to handle for the girls but they looked super cute and tried their best.
Our house is less than a mile from the field so the boys showed up in style.
Matt is the bench coach and is doing a great job getting the girls organized and cheering! It is so cute.
Abby is really loving tball and she is learning so much.
She really wants to hit the ball hard and get it to the outfield so she take a few practice swings to line it up and really concentrates. She is doing quite well connecting with the ball.
She is starting to get the hang of running the bases and running on her own without reminders:).
The clean up batter each inning is the home run hitter. All the girls wait at home as they clear the bases to celebrate. There has been one out in 4 games but they don't actually count them. It really is about getting the girls to enjoy the game and learn the basics. it is working because Abby told me today that she loves the games!
Zack has fun climbing fences or running around. He has been such a good sport and enjoyed the freedom to explore while we watch the game:)
