Bennett enjoyed his first experience with organized team sports through the First Baptist t-ball program. It was so much fun to watch as the entire team evolved from their first practice to the final game!
Mr. Cool in his shades. 3-inning games where everyone bats each inning and rotates through field positions on defense provided the perfect length of time for his age.
First base talking strategy with one of his coaches. Bennett's coaches (like all coaches in the program) graciously volunteered their time and did so in a wonderful, teaching way.
The last couple games they practiced live arm hitting in the final inning. Bennett LOVED this chance to hit with his coach pitching to him.
Preparing to play pitcher helper. Little Kate in the background was one of Bennett's buddies on the team. They talked "playdates" at one another's house and Bennett was thrilled to learn that Kate has "boy toys" because she has an older brother.
Sportsmanship and teamwork are part of each practice and game...GO ROCKIES!!
Hi-fiving the opponent then on to snacks (an obvious highlight)!
A quick celebration for each team followed their final game. Bennett is so proud to have a medal of his own. He has shown this medal to EVERYONE who enters our home.
We are thrilled that the experience was fun for Bennett. He is signed-up and excited to begin playing soccer at the beginning of next month through the same program.
