    pupils learn communications among their teammates are important in a game. Striking and fielding Striking and fielding games usually have batting and fielding teams. The aim of the game is that the batting team has to deliver a strike on the ball such that it avoids the fielding team and the hitter tries to run between to bases (Mitchell, Oslin & Griffin, 2013). Players try to position the ball in space between fielders in order to gain maximum the run scoring of the hit (Mitchell, Oslin & Griffin, 2013).

The fielding teams has to work together to deny the batting team from scoring the runs by defending spaces and bases such that they can gather and throw the ball to the base before the hitter reaches it. This game depends on batting team 's decision making on where and how the ball is to be hit after observing the fielder 's field position and how the pitter throws the ball (Mitchell, Oslin & Griffin, 2013). In school, softball helps pupils to learn the key skills and tactics for striking and fielding games.

As such, the pupils learn batting by hitting a ball placed on a large cone and using the school field with 1v2 play. This is to focus ball hitting accuracy with…

A couple of examples of other hobbies are weaving baskets, knitting, or even being a debater. These other hobbies could benefit you in ways like being able to have quick hands when typing or even just life skills for the future. Hobbies…

    Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories.

But I wasn’t born…

As you step out of the dugout, you take a deep breath, and you can smell the fresh popcorn and grilled burgers. You can feel the tension from both teams, each earnestly wanting to take the win home. You’re slowly making your way up to the plate, and you're hearing the faint cheers from the fans. But the voices that stand out the most to you are those of your…

    It was the second game of the night. We had won the first game. They had a slow pitcher who was easy to get runs off which is basically why we won. But this was a new game. We were facing the Dallas Raiders which were very good. We started the game batting because we were the away team. The Raiders defence took the field. Their pitcher picked up the ball and started to warm up on the mound. After he threw the first pitch, my stomach dropped. He was throwing fast. My coach being the way he is,…

    “Welcome back to the first game of the season. We have here tonight the Hickory Crawdads facing the South Spartans. Mikayla Hill is up to bat for Hickory as we enter the ninth. Let's check in.” “ Go battabatta, go battabatta, swing,” the man behind my enemy said aloud. I could already see both men getting into their stances. The batter rising, back straightening, almost cutting through me with his eyes as he waited for the ball. The catcher sinking down, ready to catch the ball as it would…
