I never would have thought I’d end
up coaching Tee-ball. It was the last thing I thought I’d be doing. But here I
am. Coach Kelley. I did it reluctantly to help my dad, who only volunteered to
manage the Tee-ball team because none of the other parents would. And he is a
great grandfather. With all the experience I had as a softball player, I have
the knowledge to teach, but trying to work with a group of four to six-year-olds
is like trying to herd cats. No, I take that back. I think herding cats might
be easier. At least for someone like me who never had any children, only the
four-legged kind.
So, I dusted off my old mitt and
bought a couple of new sports bras and dragged myself to the ball field,
thinking it would be a chore I would have to endure for a few weeks. But these
kids surprised me. It’s turning out to be a fun experience watching them so enthusiastic
about playing ball. And it’s rewarding to give something back to the community
and help shape some future baseball or softball players. There are three girls
on the team, which I like to see, and they are really trying hard. A couple of
them are already hitting the ball better than some of the boys. LOL
Now I look forward to Tee-ball
practice. This old fart is actually enjoying herself.
