Darby's softball team of the last couple years isn't fielding a team this Spring, so I signed her up in a co-ed baseball league so she wouldn't miss a season of ball. Today was "tryouts", though that's a little misleading. All the kids make it, but they did a standard set of exercises (throwing, catching, running, swinging) with each kid so the skill levels could be rated. The teams are built evenly so they need to know everyone's abilities.
Darby did pretty well, better than some of the boys. There were about 20 boys and 4 girls. Darby was the second-best girl, next to what can only be described as an amazon girl. The league is 10-12 year-olds, and I would have called this girl, who's like a foot taller than Darby, AT LEAST 14.
I'm annoyed at myself because I almost always have my camera with me, but I left it in the car today, and it was parked pretty far away. Otherwise I'd have some tryout pics online. I presume we'll find out how Darby did another time (in the coaches' eyes), as they sure didn't mention it today.
