So, I took on the responsibility of coaching Joelle and Marina's Little League team this year. Let me tell you right now: there is A LOT more to this than meets the eye. I literally am eating, breathing and sleeping softball.............and I'm loving every second of it. I got an email last night from a parent saying that her daughter played softball two seasons ago and got the biggest turnoff from it due to the coach. The girl didn't play last year due to this but decided to give it another go this season. This particular girl now counts down the days until practice and games. That makes this all so rewarding. I have another girl who didn't play this year due to bad experiences last year. She said if I coach next year, she'll play again. I gave her my word that I'll be back as long as the league will have me. She gave me her word that she'll play. Game on.
Oh, and now I'm off to my first co-ed softball practice tonight. I'm playing for TJ's in Portsmouth. I've got the softball bug now. The girls think I'm too old to play. Ouch! Hopefully, I'll show them........... :)

I do not think your old. I just didn't know they had a league for young adults!
