Well its that time of year again, softball and baseball for the kids. This year, the kids are playing for the Glenolden Youth Club. We decided to have them play there this year because of the lack of teams in our local town. I decided to help coach the girls team this year, its really good to be back on the field again coaching, its something that I really enjoy. Although last night, the first practice, what I was thinking, I had no idea, but I went to practice with what I had on earlier in the day from being at the office, casual shoes, and khaki pants. My shoes are still a little dusty from being on the field.
It looks as if we will be spending at least four nights a week at the fields, possibly five. The boys will be Tuesday and Thursday and the girls, Monday, Wednesday, and possibly Friday. It always a tough time of year for us, getting homework done, getting to practice/games, and getting dinner. Usually we end running out as I get home, which is around 1715. It makes for a long day for all of us.
This will be the boy's first year in baseball, he has played teeball for the last three years. He is a little nervous about actually facing a pitcher (at his level its a pitching machine), but he should do fine. Also this will be his first time actually playing competitive. In the past years, they have never had enough for games, just would hit and field the ball amongst themselves. He has played soccer, so he has played in competitive leagues before, but this will be his first time playing baseball for real.
The kids are excited, although they understand that this is a busy time, and things still need to get done.
