In the Spring of 2013, Emily and Lydia started playing softball. After their spring season, their coach asked them if they wanted to participate in a travel softball team. Lydia was kind of done playing softball for the time being, but Emily was very excited to continue playing. Their coach brought several girls from the various spring teams together to form one travel team. They are called Crush. Emily spent part of her first year with Crush playing 2nd base. About mid season, he switched her to 3rd base. While all the players could be moved to various positions, she has played 3rd base ever since. She loves it! After the first year, a few of the girls aged out of the 8U program so starting this year, she started with several new players. They have all gelled together nicely and really enjoy playing in the tournaments on different weekends throughout the summer.
Lydia picked softball back up this past spring, most likely as a result of our convincing, and played with Emily on a different team for the spring. Crush continued practicing, but picked playing back up after the spring season was over. We hope she continues to love this sport and wants to play for a long time. Getting a scholarship to college would be awesome since all three of our kids will be there at the same time!! :) No pressure though Emily!! If you decide to stop, we won't be upset . . . well, too much anyway. ;)
She is very competitive and think she is a good player. While she has room to grow--even pros can get better than they are.
