Softball is Supposed to be Fun

If you've been a visitor for any length of time, you KNOW how much I believe this game should be enjoyed to it's fullest. Sometimes it's easy to lose track of this as we get super-competitive. Hey, I'm competitive too, but I LOVE competition. It's fun for me.

At the end of our high school season, one of our players had a great tips for her teammates. She told them that if they ever felt like they didn't love the game any more, like it wasn't fun, go watch the young girls play. Go watch 6U or 8U.

The players are sooooo excited just to be on the field, to wear a cool uniform, to touch dirt, and even for the other team to make a great play! You get the idea. Personally, I find watching the young ones very refreshing. Check out this video, you'll see what I mean...
