Wanna Play Ball?

This year Vernon Minor Fastball has done almost no advertising and their t-ball and mite program has been reduced to only 7 players. And I'm the coach! We will be running the 'Learn to Play' program developed in Saskatchewan. I have taken the training for it and I think it is excellent. The emphasis is on skill development and there is no competition involved. It is a very thorough program based on actual brain and muscle development. It is full of games and just fun ball where no one is struck out, every bats until they hit, everyone runs around the bases, no one is out. The session starts with warm up, skill development games that develop throwing, catching, hitting and pitching and then we play a little pseudo ball game. Fastball is a kind of softball so we use a larger ball and pitching is underhand. Vernon Minor Fastball is a girl's organization at the older levels and a small organization (less than 200 registrants from ages 5 - 19) and kids get to know other kids from all over town. I use lots of parent participation and we just have a lot of fun in a supportive environment! Our 'games' will be on Wednesday evenings from 6 - 7:30 at Alexis Park and we may have an alternate Saturday morning at Coldstream Park (not Creekside Park but the one behind Coldstream Elementary that the creek runs through and they do the Salmon presentations at - its beautiful down there....) That will depend on if we can get enough kids registered (if there is more it will be just on Wednesdays) The cost is only $45 and it runs to the end of June and will start in a week or so.
