Fast-Pitch Softball

Monday evening Jude and I had the pleasure of visiting my family in Sheboygan. The highlight of the night was going to my niece’s softball game at my alma mater, North High. Man has that place changed!

But, that’s not what I want to talk about here. What I am writing about today is my cool niece and her growing pitching ability. What an arm!

She’s been playing fast-pitch softball for the past 3 summers. This summer is the first time they’re truly ‘playing’, as opposed to simply ‘learning’ the skills the past two summers. I was happy to bring with my digital camera and took a couple minutes of her pitching. She still has to work on consistency and some accuracy, but, hey!… she’s 11 for pete’s sake! She’s got a number of years ahead of her to hone her skills. But, for an 11 year old (almost 12) to pitch like this? Cool.

So, KUDOS to my niece, Andy, for continuing to practice and build on a skill. I’m very proud of her! (I would be even IF she didn’t have that pitching arm!! ;)

Peace out!
Jules
