T-Ball Updates

The boy’s T-ball team had their 4th practice tonight and it was easily the best of the bunch. Something I thought noteworthy, all the older kids showed major improvements in their fielding skills. By older, I’m talking about the ones on the 6-year side of the spectrum. The boy had a really nice snag on a hard grounder, but the other kids were moving to the ball well and making nice plays. I can only think of a couple that rolled through without a glove touching them.

On a keeping it safe note, there weren’t any kamikazee-kids from the outfield flying into the infield tackling teammates for the ball. That alone was cause for celebration.

A little closer to home, the boy is also batting well off the tee. He’s hitting the ball solid and hard and, when compared to the other kids swings, doesn’t look like he’s swinging hard at all. Of course, he’s got an advantage over most of his mates because he’s the size of a 7 year old. Still, he’s doing well. I think he’s got a shot at hitting a homerun at some point. That would be fun to see.
