Opening Ceremonies

It's that time of year again. . . Baseball season!!! Angela and David are too old to play recreational sports anymore, but that hasn't kept me from being involved. The city recreation department is intending to take over all recreational sports within the city, with baseball and softball being in the first one. This year they have 500 kids ranging between the ages of 4 - 16 registered. I was approached about coaching a wee-ball team (4 year olds) and have been thrilled thus far that I excepted the challenge.

On Saturday we had opening ceremonies and it was such fun to see the kids and their parents having a great time. The younger kids played a scrimmage game consisting of 1 inning while the older kids participated in softball and baseball clinics.
My little guys and girls had so much fun being out on the field and they did a great job. Tonight is our very first official game and I am looking forward to it and the other nine games of the season. The kids are such a joy to coach and there is no such thing as a "bad practice". . . who could not help but laugh at them (even when they aren't listening). It is such a blessing to be able to give my time to the youth of our community.
