players do not wear protective gear because the chances of getting hit with the ball are low. Mr. Embry’s did not assume a higher risk when he decided to retrieve the ball. Ms. Weiss, the instructor, told Mr. Mitchell that he should alert his playing partners that he had a shanking problem so they should remain behind him while he was hitting the ball. Also, Mitchell did not inform the group that he intended to hit a second ball from a tee box. These rules are there to prevent players from…
POP! The sound the ball made as it contacted with my racquet. “Just a little bit more,” I thought to myself. My serve was just that close to making it within the box. Drawing a deep breath, I focused in on the center of the court and positioned myself. I smiled. It was like another day and another match, except it was just me. The place where I could let out the emotions I was holding for the day and where I could put my mind at ease. I found this place at the high school tennis courts.…
‘’Pass, Pass!” The other team called to each other. It was cold, and early in the morning and I had to play in a soccer game, but I was having a lot of fun. I did my best to block all of the other team’s sneaky passes. Also, I wanted to try to score a goal today. The opposite team was passing the ball around my team trying to swerve around us , but I stuck my foot out very quickly trying to block the ball from heading towards the net.

My primary position has always been second base; however, I started the year the year off playing short stop and played there for several games. During the Cedar Creek tournament, I injured my wrist throwing a ball from short stop to first base. I was taken from my position and put into left field.

me over to second base. I was stuck on second at the end of the inning, nobody moved me around. It was our turn to go back out in the field. We got through the inning without them scoring and headed back into hit. We did not have any luck with our bats during the second inning. The score was two to zero for us. As I went out to play defense I knew the other coach was going to try and make something happen. I was preparing myself by going over every situation in my head. The other team bunted and…

pop-flies since I play infield, third baseman. 20 minutes later we went to the ump. and listened to the rules. We then started the game. Since we were the away team, we batted first. The coach threw me out first to bat because I have a higher batting range. As I was getting a helmet and my bat, I was watching the pitcher to see how see pitches. I walked up to the left-side batting box since I am left-handed. When the pitcher pitched the softball I swung and hit a double straight down between…
