Name:

I've been a homeschool mom for ten years now, and although I have homeschooled six children at one time in the past, I am now down to three! I am so encouraged every time I talk to someone who homeschools, is thinking about homeschooling, or has just started. This blog is born out of my desire to share what I have learned...so far.

Baseball and Softball Camp at Alpha Omaga Sports Academy

Mitchell, Britany and Mary participated in a baseball/softball camp this week. Coach Jordan is their homeschool PE coach, and runs Alpha Omega Sports Academy. Mitchell participated in an indoor baseball league there this winter, and attended one other baseball camp. He's improved so much through the training he's received from Coach Jordan, and we are really looking forward to watching him during this baseball season.

Britany and Mary are going to play softball for the first time this year. They are on the same team. This week-long camp helped them learn some of the fundamentals they will need to get them started off on the right foot.

Coach Jordan let the little kids (Gracie, Alli and Grayson) practice a little this week, and even let them play a baseball game with them at the end of each day of camp. They thought they were so big! Alli cannot wait to play t-ball, and I think she might end up being pretty good at it too. She can hit off the tee with both hands. I also realized this week that she kicks a soccer ball with her left foot. Gracie does left-handed cartwheels, so I guess they are all a bit ambidextrous.

Regular season baseball practice started for Mitchell last night. He did 2 hours of baseball camp from 1-3, then went to his first team practice from 7-8:15. The boy was hurting this morning!

Britany and Mary's draft is next Thursday. We'll have their draft and then Mitchell's practice right after it. I told the kids, we will probably be having dinner in the stands quite a bit this year!

Coach is pitching to Mitchell.

They all do drills off a tee.

Grayson hitting the ball in a game of baseball with the big kids.

Alli has hit the ball and she's running to first base. Coach had to physically take them to each base, so they knew where to go! He is so good with the kids, young and old.

In the background Grayson is running for the ball, and Gracie just made it to first base. It was girls against boys this day. Mitchell, Grayson and coach against Britany, Mary, Alli and Gracie. I think the girls won!
