DD 10 has been pitching for a year, she's been doing really well this fall. After a game yesterday one of the umps was saying to one of the other parents on her team(I was standing right behind where they were sitting) that he was really looking forward to watching Ella as she gets older. He said he was especially impressed with how to she was able to keep control in the circle and make adjustments when needed. I don't remember what else he said because I was too busy trying not to cry, lol. She said the other umpire, who was on of the fun, good umps that I like to see at 10u, asked her if she had been pitching since she could pick up a softball, lol. It was a good day for her, especially after having some confidence issues in the spring.
