Tee Ball - Spring 2012

Charlie is on his 3rd season of tee ball. And as we are coming up on his final game, I wanted to post some pictures of my Tiger in action.  We have seen so much improvement with each passing season, but this one was especially noticeable, as they were mainly pitched to by the coaches, hitting off a tee only after missing 5 or so pitches.  For the most part, Charlie hardly ever hit off the tee.  He had a great stance at the plate and would usually hit one of the first few pitches.  They are going to be recording outs for the last 2 games, and after the game today, he only got out 1 time (he was VERY proud of this fact when he told me).  He is by far the most well-behaved in the dug-out (not just our opinion, but the opinion of several other parents on the team....which is always nice...makes you feel like you might be doing something right :), and even though he may not be THE most skilled player on the field, he definitely makes up for it with heart.  He continues to work hard....getting better on fielding the ball, throwing forcefully and accurately, and just picking up on the rules of the game.  If nothing else, we want him to learn how to be a part of a team and learn good sportsmanship.  We think that it is very important for him to learn that even though you may not always win, you still need to go out there, do your best and most of all.....have fun!
