Play Ball!

Summer is enjoying being a part of a team sport.  She is one of fourteen 5/6 year olds that Don and I are coaching this year.  We've been playing for a month now and the kids are beginning to get the hang of it.  Everyone has hit the ball from the pitching machine at least once when they have been up to bat during an inning.  (They each get 5 pitches). We are beginning to work on developing the defensive play in the field.  This becomes a challenge as you can imagine the attention spans are stretched to their limit.

Here is a video of Summer up at bat last night:
