Jayda played softball for the first time this year and did great! She was asked to be on the Allstar team so that was a big honor and she was very proud! I don't think she realized how much more practicing that would mean, but she did great. For the past month she has been having 2 hour practices twice a week, plus a few extra batting practices added in. She learned a lot from her Allstar coaches and started batting so much better. They really worked on her swing and taught her how to hit the ball. By the time the Allstar tournament started, she was hitting the ball all the time! We were so proud of Jayda and all of her hard work! On Saturday, the first day of the tournament, they played 4 games in one day! I was amazed that girls this age were even capable of that! I was super impressed by all of them and their perseverance!
Jayda played in left field for the tournament...in ready position!
Cheering on their teammates that are batting. :)
Jayda's first time up to bat on Saturday. She hit the ball and scored a run. Yay Jayda!!
Ready to run from first base.
Leaving 3rd base and heading home. Go Jayda!
