Riley had softball "tryouts" yesterday, which consisted of stopping two grounders at shortstop and throwing to first, trying to catch two throws at first, and three swings of the bat. I'm not sure how you can evaluate 7-year-olds on the basis of 5 minutes of work, but that's what they did.
She was excited to get back out on the field, though. She stopped her grounders, almost made the throws reach, and had three level swings, but no connections at the fast pitches the lady coach/pitcher was throwing.
The "draft" is tomorrow, and we'll find out Tuesday, I guess, who her coach will be. I hope it's someone who will teach her how to play, be patient, but also want to win, too.
She did well last year with her implants and listening, so we don't expect any problems this year. But if we do run into any, we may consider an FM system, so if anyone has any recommendations, feel free to let us know!
Come on, spring!
