He is on the same teams, baseball is The Rangers and Soccer is the Dragons. Both teams are U6 this year and although they are the same teams, they rules differ a little. Baseball is modified coach pitch, where the coach has 3 pitches to each batter and if the batter doesn't hit one of those pitches the tee is pulled out and the batter hits from the tee. This is really to keep the game moving and keep the batter's esteem up, also it's a true 3 outs or if they don't get 3 outs before the whole team hits, they go through the whole team. Today both teams went through their whole line up first but I have a feeling as all the teams get better and get the nerves out of their systems, we will start to see 3 outs before the whole team has a chance to hit.
Jackson did great at baseball today, hitting all 3 times up, 2 times from the coach and once from the tee. His second hit was by far his best as it was a double and boy did he know it! :) Overall, we hope to see Jackson continue to build his confidence in fielding and maintaining his hitting.
Soccer was a GREAT improvement even over the Spring season. Jackson LOVES defense (after his mom) and did great defending the goal today. He only let one ball get by him but overall went after the ball and was NOT afraid to get in the mix and challenge the other team for the ball, couldn't be more proud!
We will continue to update as the season progresses and post pictures when possible! Stay tuned, we're excited!
