Sault Girls Softball Season Ends

As disappointed as I was with soccer, I was very impressed with Lily's softball league. They really stressed fun and learning the fundamentals of the game. Even during the games, there was constant instruction and encouragement. Like soccer, though, I wasn't able to put an entry on every game, but, like soccer, I was at every game and got some good pics. She did a great job this season, and really learned a lot. She hit the ball well, and got better as the season went on (that's what's supposed to happen, right?). She really liked playing catcher, and her coaches let her play their a lot. She also played some infield, but mostly outfield when she wasn't behind the plate. The coaches are the some of the high school players, and they really have a good rapport with the players. She already stated she wants to play again next season. That's my girl!!!

Play Ball, Lily

Lily is getting in on the action, too, starting her games this week. She's playing for Elk's Lodge, and is sporting #6 on her back this season. She's played various positions, such as first base, catcher, outfield, and even second base like her old man, here. She seems to be having a lot of fun and is hitting the ball very well. I think the coaches keep score, but it's really not important and don't even tell the players. Coaching goes on all through the game, is skill development and fun are stressed. I like this softball league that she's in now. Little League was great for her, but it was time she played in a league with all girls, and the coaches are high school players. No game on Monday due to the 4th, but a practice for her on Wed.
