The priorities, then the fundamentals

Pouring sand into your pink fielder's mitt isn't a
fundamental skill, but if it were, these first basemen
would be ready.

It was Emily's turn at the plate and T-Ball coach Scott had some very important reminders for her, but Emily was having none of it. First she had to point out Grandma and Grandpa in the stands, and only after Scott had graciously acknowledged their presence could the lesson proceed.

It was great fun watching the six-year-olds  learn the fundamentals of teamwork, the unique language of the old game and the importance of individual roles to coordinated group success.

Batting skills later. Go, Blackberries!

Thirsty work, this T-ball.
