Double period softball is always an activity that excites campers when they see it on the sign-up sheet at snack. Campers walked over to the Wakefield diamond for two hours of home runs and steals!
The activity started off with some throwing and catching to warm-up, as well as some ground ball and pop fly drills.
After some time practicing, it was time to start the game! Rachel geared up to get behind the plate and catch. Safety first!
The sluggers stepped up to the plate and started to hit the softballs right out of the park!
After making contact, the players legged it out to reach first base before the ball.
Sometimes the fielders were able to beat out the runner on the play!
Some of the hitters swung for the fencers to drive in a few runs.
The star outfielders covered a lot of ground to catch those long shots.
Great job to all the star softballers who played an excellent game!
