Play Ball!!!

Ya know, I actually signed Cub1 up for Jr. High on Monday. Yes, Jr. High *faint* She is finally going to be in a school with real after school sports, you know the kind where they compete with other schools and such? She was really excited over the volleyball and not so much over the fastpitch softball and absolutely no mention of girls basketball which surprised me. Anyway, she has been playing baseball with the boys for quite a few years now. She is the only girl in her league this year. We asked when we signed her up whether there was going to be any problem with her continuing for a couple more years with the boys. Honestly we thought this was going to be the last year, but apparently she will be in the same league next year too. The president of the county leaugue said there was no issues with her playing with the boys as long as she wants. Of course they are trying to restart their girls softball league and asked if she was interested, that was the quickest no from all three of us (hubby, cub1 and myself) She has made it crystal clear she was not interested in playing with the girls or that huge ball until absolutely necessary LOL I love that about her.

Anyhow, she was approached by a mother of a boy who was on her team a few years back. She wanted to know if Kayla would try out for the Jr. High Fastpitch team. She said they were accepting 7th graders for tryouts too. So even though she doesn't go to that school yet and she was going to try it out next year, she may be able to try it now!?!? How cool is that? We need to contact her to get more information. That's great they thought of her in any case! She's really making quite an impression on everyone. :o)
