We spent Saturday with Pooh Bear at the ball field. It was 8U player evaluation time!!
And seeing as how Pooh Bear has not touched a ball or hit a ball since last April we weren't real sure how it was going to go. Well that is not completely true, her and her daddy practiced for about 45 minutes in the back yard Friday afternoon.
Dressed and ready to go!
We all walked in and Daddy, Pooh Bear and I just about had a heart attack when we saw the pitching machine. She has never hit off the machine and the balls were traveling pretty fast. But she stepped up to the plate and she hit 9 of the 10 balls. Whew! After that she had to field a few balls.
She did a pretty good job we just need to brush her up on the fundamentals.
After batting and fielding is was off to running. She ran with all her might and got a lap of 6.3 seconds and the girl that was in the 10U league before her got a 5.6 so I think Pooh Bear did pretty good.
All in all she did a really good job.
Now we just sit back and see what team we are on. I just hope she is with at least a friend or two.

Let's play ball!!!!!!
Sounds like she did great! My boys did their try-outs and found out their teams over the weekend. I am so thankful that they both ended up on teams with a friend or two. We start practice this week - there is a lot of excitement in the house!
