Last night was Uyaana's first day of softball practice.
It is a good mix of kids.
Some played last year but some have never even held a bat.
This is Uyaana's first year playing so he has a lot to learn. Here Coach Ernie is showing him how far he should stand from the plate.
How to hold the bat. The kids are using a tee for this first practice. During the actual games the kids will get 3 tries to hit a pitched ball. If they miss all three they are allowed to hit off the tee.
OK kid, hit it over there.

YAY! He has quite a swing!

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy more remote towns in Alaska are starting to get the kiddos more involved with sports.
ReplyDeleteI've been getting my kids into track & field.
