Legacy Baseball Camp

Today was the last day of baseball camp for the summer.  I went to watch the first little bit of camp and ended up staying the entire 3 hours.  There's a stiffling heat wave across the middle of the US right now and it was HOT at camp today.  I felt bad for all the boys wearing the black camp t-shirts!

Brody was of only two five-year olds at camp this week.  He was in a group of 6, 7, & 8 year olds.  It was fun watching him compete against all the older kids.  I was so proud when he beat out all the other kids in several different competitions (fielding grounders, catching fly balls, and accurate throwing).

 

 

 

Below they were playing knock out where they had to cleanly field a ground ball and then throw it accurately into the circle in the middle of the green net to the right of the picture.  Brody won!

Since it was the last day of camp, they busted out the slip-n-slide to practice sliding head first into home.  One of coaches would throw a ball to the coach playing catcher who would try to tag the runner out.  It was a great way to cool the boys off on a hot day!

 

There were over 50 kids in line for one slip-n-slide.  A lot of them were goofing off in line...but not Brody.  Notice how he's calling the runner "safe"? (he's in the white baseball pants with a red belt in the middle of the picture below)
