Softball

A noticeable example of these limitations is baseball and softball. Male athletes play baseball, while female athletes play softball. The objective of both sports are the same; hit a ball inbound with a bat with the objective of running all four bases to get a point (homerun). Yet in softball, the length of the field is smaller than the field in baseball and the way the pitcher throws the ball is different. Additionally, in softball, girls use an aluminum bats and bigger ball compared to the…

moments I remember a saying I once heard while watching a movie, “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”. This Babe Ruth quote can apply to many different moments in your life, not just softball or baseball. Even in the movie this quote did not apply to just softball. It applied to how you live your life. I had just got a new movie for Christmas, A Cinderella Story, and I decided to watch it. As I watched this movie for the first time I really fancied it. It was…

Never Giving Up Softball Have you ever played a sport and you felt like your team would never win a game? Well that is what the whole 8th grade varsity felt like by the end of the softball season. I first started playing softball because my dad played in our church league. One game he shattered his knee so he couldn’t play any more. When I watched the games, I thought it would be fun to try. So when I was six years old my dad signed me up for SVGSA (Spokane Valley Girls Softball Association).…

I feel that it is important to give back to your community because you get to see all the different families and their perspective on life. Also, you get to know your community better and start relationships that could last life time. When giving back to the community you realize many things. Such as, having food to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While some people only eat one meal a day or couple days. Also, you realized how lucky you are to have a house to live in and a bed to sleep…

thought I would be able to experience. I had the privilege of being a member of the KV Varsity Softball team all four years of my high school career. I have been playing softball since I was eight years old and since then I have played all over the country from California to Virginia. Though none of that can compare to playing in ‘The Region’ and for the purpose of representing my community. Without KV Softball I would not be the person I am today. This sport has helped me grow and see the…

It is everyone's dream to get a spot in the starting line up for a varsity sport, especially as a freshman. That was me. Preparing myself as an 8th grader for my first high school softball open gym. That's all I could think about all day during school that day. Finally getting a chance to just be in an open gym with the girls I've been watching play for three years, even though I still had a year before I was in high school. That was me. I stepped into the gym palms sweating, heart racing. Two…

But just playing softball doesn't mean your athletic. You could be one of those people who just runs with everybody else but in reality, you do nothing. I can hit really far, but I have to admit, I don’t really have a connection with the ball. Some people are like a magnet to the ball, but I’m not one of them. I just don’t connect with the ball. All softball players and baseball players have a goal that they want to accomplish and that…

Some of the athletic teams that are offered are, baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, cheerleading, cross country for both men and women, dance team, field hockey, football, girls lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, co-ed track and field, and boys and girls volleyball to name a few. In addition, Parkway South athletic programs have won several state championships over the past 15 years. An interview was conducted with (Name of Athletic…

I really loved. I have been passionate about sports for a long time. I have played baseball or softball for 19 years. I have played indoor and outdoor baseball in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. I have also played in South Korea. This led me to the idea of building an indoor field and training facility. It actually first came to my mind just a few months ago. My men’s slow pitch softball team wanted to get some batting practice over the winter. We did a google search for an indoor…

anything to do with football anymore. They’ll sit on the bench and pretend their leg hurts…” (Statsky 153, par 4). Some children and even teenagers worry about getting hurt so much that it starts to ruin their skill level. For example when I played softball we had a really strong batting line up. There was one girl that would completely fall apart when she had to face a pitcher that was known to hit batters. When she would hit off the machine or off our own team pitcher she was the best on the…
