This is the 2nd year that my daughter Abby plays youth softball. When I was a child, I always wanted to play baseball but didn't really get the chance nor have the environment. Last year when Abby started to play, I pretty much stayed to help out in every practice. So, this year I figure that since I am gonna spend time anyway, I might as well sign up as an assistant coach.
Playing with children is a lot of fun. Some of the girls have never played before and have no clue regarding the rules nor the mechanics of the games. But they learn so quickly and eagerly, which make us coaches feel that we are really doing something constructive. You can see the progress on the weekly basis. Everytime they have a good hit, catch a fly ball, or make a good play, we coaches are much more excited than the girls.
Last year, I got to stay on the sideline and capture the moments with my camera. This year, I am on the field giving out instructions and cheers. The more involvement is much more fun. It is tiresome, but definitely worths it.
Go Panthers!
