The end of Brianne's first softball season has come. It was really an adventure! Mainly because of our funky weather this spring. Usually the spring here has a few rain showers and stays a bit chilly, but this year we had snow into early June here and there and it rained like no other!! Her first three games were rained out which was a HUGE bummer and with all of the weather issues there weren't many practices. There were also a few games where we had on layers to get through it, but all in all she had an absolute BLAST!
I was glad that she made fast friends with her teammates! This is not a problem for her at all! And being it was her first attempt at a team sport I thought she did very well. She improved soooo much over the short season.
One area she never had a hard time with has hitting! Even with this awkward stance she had she always managed to make contact with the ball! I can only remember 3 times when she struck out! Now remember though that at this age they get 6 chances- not the usual 3! But I was still sooooo proud of her!
Running is not her strongest ability given her knee issues but she really pushed herself! I want her to feel strong and confident when it comes to her knees and I think this was an excellent way for her to gain more of that.
I told her that over the summer we would continue to practice throwing the ball around so she will get better and maybe even hit a batting cage once. She loved it so much that we are signing her up for the fall season as well! Yay!
Such great running form don't ya think! Look at those slicing hands!
Overall I couldn't be more pleased with how her season went! I loved going to watch them play and cheering them on. I will say however that I won't miss the ONE cheer they did every game! I got so sick of hearing it over and over! I may have to find a few extra ones to share with them so all of the spectators won't go crazy! But aside from that I can't wait till next season! Hee hee! Way to go Brianne!!
