My 7yr old had his first coach pitch baseball game last night. They won 10 - 2 ! It was so cute and he had so much fun.
We had pizza with the coach after the game and all of the kids played together until 9PM! I am dragging a bit today. My 3yr old loved it too but would have preferred to have spent the entire game at the playscape rather than watching big brother play.
My kid has a great attitude.....maybe too great. He really needs to practice hitting since he fouled out. Coach pitch gives them 8 pitches. There were a lot of kids that didn't make contact with the ball at all so that left my son feeling pretty good. He has some really good players on his team though. I was hoping he would have aspirations of being more like them. He seems pretty happy with himself the way he is though.
I'm going to keep working with him and the coach thinks he'll be smacking the heck out of the ball in no time. The next challenge will be to get him to run fast so he can make it to the bases. He is loving it and that is exactly what I had hoped for.
So that is how I will be spending pretty much every Friday from now until July 17. Go Tigers!
