Clinic Baseball & Softball

Meridian Youth Baseball & Softball put on a 6-week clinic and I was proud to be included as an instructor. It was a ton of work, but also a ton of fun. We had four groups (about 50 kids total) with a great mix of baseball and softball. All of the instructors collaborated well and had a great time with this clinic. Several kiddos told us it was the best camp they had ever been to - always nice to hear that! While we were crazy busy, I did manage to snag a few pictures here and there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This dude has also been in the cages, gearing up for assessments this weekend. 

 

 

 

Baseball & Softball Year-Round.....Oh My!

Baseball and softball have just taken a (collectively) huge step up in our family. It's always been an active part of our life, mostly during the spring/summer/fall months, but now it's going to be a year-round thing, and we are large and in charge!

 

The first big step was my joining the executive board at Meridian Youth Baseball & Softball (MYB). I decided to go big (in lieu of going home) and am now the President of Softball for MYB. I have two incredible directors on my team, and have already made a huge amount of progress in being the voice for softball. I am super excited to take on this role and be an advocate for the softball community within the league.

 

The second part of this step was affiliating myself with Play Deep Academy. Several coaches in the league put together this facility for the kids, and one of the other MYB Board members approached me to see if I would take on a softball instructor role. I jumped all over that and have basically been living at Play Deep for the last month. We are putting together workshops and clinics (baseball and softball), and already have several teams renting out the cages for their winter workouts. Score!

 

This joint venture into the baseball and softball world is something I'm incredibly passionate about, and I am so excited to see big changes in the league, especially on the softball side!
