Softball?

Southmont has started a new Pixie Fast Pitch Little League team.  It is for girls who are 6-8 years old.  They had a parent meeting and clinic for all leagues (Pixie, 10U and 12U) on Sunday at the field house.  The league doesn't start until April, but this was a chance to check it out and get some practice in.  For us, it was a chance to see if Camden liked the sport and wanted to play.  I was a little nervous that it was fast pitch, but it's the only option available anymore.  The parent meeting only last about 45 minutes so we were able to go watch the last hour with the kids.

It was so well run.  I arrived just before Camden had her turn in the batting cage.  The Pixie League will use a pitching machine and the ball will be pitched between 25-30 mph.  She didn't bat an eye!  The woman running the machine had to help her get the stance right the at the beginning, but Camden caught on quickly!

She whiffed the first two balls (but her swing was solid) and hit the third.  She got a piece of the fourth and whiffed the last ball.
 

Once I got there she lost her interest.  She is so silly like that!  I think this is a sport she might like (I played for 5 years and LOVED it), but she is too wishy-washy about organized sports right now and I don't want another season of that.  We will wait and try again in the future.
