Rookie Camp: Week 3

This past Saturday brought along the third week of Rookie Camp for T.  Because it was the third and final rotation for this group of stations, he only cycled through two different drills this go around.  Here's what was on tap.

Station One: Batting Practice (without the T)

 The second part of this drill was teaching the kids how to turn when a pitch actually comes at their body - they are supposed to turn their back to the ball.  T was successful.  Oh, and just in case you were concerned about child safety - they used wiffle balls for this drill.

Station 2: The Game

Patiently waiting their turns on the bench

 I loved seeing all of their dangling little feet.

 Batter Up

 Waiting at first

 A high-five at home plate

 Once in the outfield, the campers used soft mitts rather than traditional mitts.  It's supposed to help them learn to scoop and catch the ball (I think).

 Checking out his unusual mitt

 Talking over their game plan

 Game Over.  Time for snack!
