Tis the season!

Tomorrow is the first official softball practice for the 2011 season!  The forecast for tomorrow is snow flurries and the high is 37! 

Megan stays in G-ball (coach pitch this season) and Emily moves up to 12U.  Main difference for Emily is she uses a 12" ball instead of 11". 

Neither Ron or I are coaching this season.  I signed up to be assistant coach for Megan's team but am not needed.  I am sort of bummed as I really enjoyed coaching Megan's team last year but at the same time relieved because I can run back and forth between the girls games and take pictures!

I found this prayer online today and thought it was fitting:

Softball's Player Prayer

Lord, give me the strength to hit the ball

And if I do don't let me fall

Help me pick a pitch that's right

Then let me knock it out of sight!

Then let me run with deer-like grace

Don't let me miss but tag first base

Then on to second, stay with me, Lord,

Cause this one out we can't afford.

Then let me zoom like a flying bird

Right down the line and on to third

Then let me slide with feet out-thrust

Across home plate in the swishing dust

But first of all , Dear Lord, I pray

Just tell the coach to let me play!
