Fall Ball

Danielle is playing in a fall ball league again this fall. She's playing with a new group of girls and for a new coach. A few of the girls are on her new softball team, so it's good she can get to know them. (The coach is not one of her new team's coaches.) I know she was a little worried about playing with new girls and for a new coach, but she handled it beautifully. She had a lot of fun and did a great job today.

We kind of look at the fall ball league as practice. There's not an end of season tournament and standings don't matter. It's just fun to play. Because winning and losing doesn't really matter, it's a good time to try new things. Danielle wants to be a slapper. Her new coaches would like her to bat left handed when she's not slapping, so she's trying to make that change. She did great today! She slapped and hit left handed and only struck out once today between two games. I am proud of her for trying new things!!

She had practice with her new team this past week, too. We have a tournament in October. It will be fun to watch them come together as a team.
