Hoping to find time to keep improving my daughter's throwing mechanics before the second tryout for our leagues 10U travel team. She's technically 8U, but there's no 8U team to try out for, so 10U it is (her choice).

Unfortunately, I've already received an email from the HC saying she probably won't make it (due in part to the throwing, and difficulty hitting the (IMO) poorly-fed balls from a pitching machine), but I haven't told my daughter that, and since the HC is willing to still have her come and finish the tryout, that's the current plan.

Keeping fingers crossed that the improvement she's already shown after our initial "try throwing this way instead" session will stick. The harder part, I fear, is convincing her to get moving / start her swing earlier, to hopefully make better contact off the jugs machine (which she's probably hit off of 1 other time in her life).

This weekend is pretty much identical to last weekend. Yard needs mowed, last of the tryouts Saturday & Sunday, probably grill and have a few cold ones. The weather is unbelievable today.....59 when I woke up and a high of 75. Suppose to be more of that tomorrow. DD has taken a spot on the team already, but it's a chance for her to get some practice in and spend some time with the other girls so she's all about it.

Right Here For Now
We're having our final tryout Sunday afternoon. I have dropped back to a 12U team since my DD has decided she doesn't want to finish out her second year of TB 18U after a full year of playing in college. While I understand, I'm just a tad bit disappointed. But now it's on to a new adventure since DD plans on coming back at the end of her college season and help coach the younger ones. Now that, I'm looking forward to!

DD will be attending a small college softball camp....then end of week, a lesson scheduled with Rick Pauly. DD did the planning and scheduling for these events. I am pretty proud momma....just last year, she would barely make eye contact....
