Fastpitch Rookie Skit Night

Rookie Skit Night is so much fun! On our pre-season trip to Maui, my husband asked if we were going to have the newbies go through skit night. We hadn't planned to, but when the returnees caught wind of the idea, they loved it. They came up with a theme for the new players. Originally, it was supposed to be a competition between 2 or more groups of new players to see who could come up with the best skit. But, the rookies changed the rules and all did something together.

At first we were disappointed that they weren't doing it as a competition. Then we saw their performance. It was awesome! They really went all out. It was impressive because they only had one day to prepare and practice. It was definitely something we'll all remember. My stomach was aching from all the laughing I did.

If you are on a team or coach a team that has rookies/newbies and returnees/veterans, Rookie Skit Night is a cool thing to do! The players that did the skit this year want to, as vets, do another skit next year and challenge next year's rookies. We thought they'd be happy to have it over with and be glad that they don't need to go through it again. I guess we thought wrong. They obviously had a lot of fun with it.
