My last week of 6am's ever

This is my last week of 6am's. Next year I will be student teaching during them and will have to miss them. We've been live hitting more , which means that the pitchers throw us pitches and we hit. We use half of the field house to do this. We still do a lot of hitting stations though , but we can listen to music now which is pretty fun. Here are some more pictures of my teammates.

These are two of our catchers catching the pitchers as they warm up.

We have practice uniforms that we wear everyday and this is one of my teammates, shelly , getting her practice gear out of the bin.

Outside! Finally!

This week we finally got to practice outside! It's been in the 50's all week and today it is supposed to get up to 60! This is such a tease though. Next week it will probably snow again and we won't be able to go outside for a while.

We only have 2 weeks until Florida! I can't wait. This trip we are going to do a scavenger hunt in Disney World on the one day that we have off. We play a total of 8 games in Florida. I checked the weather and it is in the 70's! I am so excited.

Just another week inside

Our indoor practices continue. We are able to play music now in the field house! That makes the practices a lot more enjoyable. A lot of the girls have night class so they have to miss practice. It's hard to work on drills when the whole team is not there.

Here are a couple shots of my team practicing. We are doing some hitting stations. We stay at each station for 2 minutes and then coach tells us to switch.

This is Courtney and she is hitting some small yellow wiffle balls.

This is Kate and she is hitting tennis balls that are being bounced from behind her. 

This is Jess and she is hitting fast balls and change ups off the pitching machine in the batting cage.

A maroon shirt and an orange shirt.

From now on, two girls are going to be awarded different color shirts to wear at practice. One is orange and the other is maroon, which differ greatly from our bland gray shirts that we have to wear.

So far an outfielder has gotten one of the shirts everyday. There are 8 outfielders including myself, out of 24 girls, so that is pretty impressive. Keep it up outfield!
