The Red Sox

We went to Chase's first Bam Bam meeting. His team is the Red Sox. There are 7 boys and 2 girls on his team. He got to meet the coach and his team mates. His coach is our dentist's husband. He use to coach is older son's team, so he knows what he is doing.

The purpose of Bam Bam is to familiarize the kids with hitting, running the bases and the basics of outfielding. The game is played with a big rubber ball. The ball is balanced on a coffee can. After they hit the ball they run to first. Then the next person bats, and they run to second, and so on. They get to run all the bases. Once every kid bats and runs the bases, then they go to the outfield.

The team has pictures on Saturday and after that their first practice. The games start on the 22nd of April. He will have 5 games, every Saturday at 10:15am. The coach gave each kid a new ball, so we can practice at home too. He then let them practice batting a couple of times. We were in a pretty large meeting room at the library, so it worked out well. When we left, Chase was really excited. He wanted to know if he had his first game tomorrow. This should be a lot of fun!
