Red Dogs Baseball

Our little Blu played baseball for the first time this year!

He joined the Challengers Red Dogs team through South Clackamas Little League.

Andrew and I coached his team, and had a blast!

The kids ranged in age from 4 to 15, and came in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and personalities.

They were SO amazing to coach, watch, and get to know.

Everyone had a turn to bat each inning, and received as many pitches as they needed to hit the ball (sometimes going up to 30 or more!).

 

The kids NEVER got frustrated or impatient with each other.  

 

In fact, they cheered for and encouraged each other frequently.

You could tell by the looks on their faces that each and every one of them thought they were in the big leagues.  

Serious hitting and fielding, serious running and sliding.  

Blu's favorite part was running the bases, FAST!  (Andrew or I would push him)

Blu made several friends during this season, and simply had a great time playing!
