Softball

I am usually a very busy person and right now I am starting to play softball again and have practice Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I had a two month break from softball and I am now starting a travel ball team. I played softball all stars in the summer and then I went on a week trip with my friend and her family to Lake Almanor. In the middle of my trip my family came up. We found out the my grandpa’s cancer had spread to his lungs and throat and that he was terminally ill. For…

Softball What started out as a men’s football game in Chicago, Thanksgiving day of 1887, lead to the greatest women’s sport, softball. At the end of the Yale football game, brooms were being used as “bats” to hit boxing gloves that were being thrown. There may be a lot of women’s sports, but what makes softball the best of them all? Is it because it was a sport that generated from one of the manliest sports? Or was it because of how it has changed tremendously throughout the years? Years ago…

The project that choose to do was a softball field how I am going to make this project is by having the, Nucleus be in charge of the manger for the softball field and if the manager left then we would have nobody in charge because tectonically we don’t need a manger for that time period of the games because everyone would be doing there own thing at their field so we really don’t need a manager at the field.The Mitochondria will be in control of the lights so that when it gets dark the lights…

Softball Gloves for Different Positions Your position in the game will determine the type of softball gloves you have to use. The player’s position is significant to the type of webbing, amount of padding and pocket size of the glove one should purchase. When considered together, you can end up with a great glove pattern that suits you. Remember that the pattern of the softball glove determines its specialized capabilities and performance in the game. Different positions need different glove…

Softball has always held a special place in my heart mainly because of the valuable life lessons that it has taught me. I began playing softball when I was ten years old and it has been amazing seeing all of the different opportunities that I have been able to have since that time. I have been able to see myself grow as an individual and my team grow as a unit through various experiences. Through the skills that I have learned by dedicating myself to softball, I have been able to impact peoples'…

All my life I've grown up watching my older sister play the game of softball. Being the little sister, I looked up to her and always wanted to mirror her every move. From the clothes she wore to the way she walked. But the best thing I ever did was mirror the way she played softball. She pushed me to be at the top of my game and play every game like it was my last. As she played high school softball I dreamt of playing second base and wearing her jersey. And that's exactly what I did. Four…

The Worst Softball Experience Around the year 2008 I had made my decisions to play softball. Yes I had played tee ball and coach pitch, but this was the real thing. That year I was turning six. Usually you can’t start softball/baseball until your six but since I was in first grade I was allowed to play. I lived in Philomath, where I had lived my whole life. Years had passed, and I had been playing softball all those years. When it came down to about 7th grade I was a more experienced player,…

tallest person in a crowd and most of the time I am one of the shortest people in the room. I never imagined that this could hold me back from something that I love so much and could possibly make my dreams of playing collegiate softball unreachable. I first began playing softball at only five years old. I began playing locally but soon enough moved onto a higher level of play. By the age of thirteen I was playing for one of the biggest organizations in the country and playing with girls…

people often misconceive softball as being an effortless, female dominated sport that requires little to no skill. Some say that softball is just a sport in which you hit the ball and run through bases trying not to get out. People who have never played softball, let alone any other sport, will say that softball is made easier for females. Before I began to play softball, I too speculated that softball was one of the most basic sports there was. Speaking from experience, softball is quite…

There is something so unexplanatory about the game of softball. The way you can almost immediately smell the freshly cut grass. The way the leather of your glove perfectly matches your hand. That feeling just as you take the field before the biggest game of the season. That is what has shaped me into the person I am today. This game will humble you when you are feeling high. It makes you appreciate the satisfaction of a win, after knowing all your hard work has paid off. But on the other hand,…
