More specific take me out to the T Ball Game
My granddaughter is now on a T Ball team at one of the local county parks. Her team is all girls from 4 to 6 years old. There are many teams--all have sponsorship from area businesses for their team shirts and hats. Thank you all businesses that sponsor youth sports, and the parents that religiously bring their kids out to participate in team sports, assist the coaches, and assist with refreshments.
They are small, and girls who like to dance around, giggle, and play with the clay on the fields. Girls that do not want to drop their bats, take the whole team to chase a ball and refuse to relinquish the ball. Other teams have the same age boys....several of them find any ball around and try to tag every one on the other team...several kids have figured out to run around the taggers past a base and back.
Watching them is better than television..every minute is a surprise as they all try their best to hit a ball sitting on top of a T stand. Often the bat slides out of their hands, the T stand takes a constant whacking as they aim at the ball....and their astonishment when they have connected with the ball and the coach says RUN! Over the past weeks they have gotten much better at batting, catching, and running bases.
No score keeping on these games- introduction to a team based activity and sportsmanship for all players
PLAY BALL!
