Had an incredible week at softball camp and can't possibly imagine my child having had a better experience with her first time at a sports camp.
She was excited to get there each day and was always eager to demonstrate what she'd learned. She made several new friends and all the coaches were AWESOME.
She's sad that it's over now, but cannot wait to take her new skills to the practice field this weekend as she begins preparing for the fall season.
As for me, I had the opportunity to speak with a few dads and a mom (most were coaches) during the week and gleaned a lot of great info from them. I stayed out of the way, took a few pictures, and was relieved to feel comfortable with leaving kiddo at the facility while I attended to breakfast and work. It was also great to be able to see some 8-9 year olds who can really play ball, so I could finally get a good on-field comparison to evaluate her readiness to move up to 10u next spring. I left convinced that it's the right thing to do, even if it means she won't be a #1 pitcher.
Can't wait 'til next year!
