Kayda's fastpitch

Kayda decided to try fastpitch this summer.  She ended up on a team that had no experience.  Daddy coached her team, which was tricky since he was also coaching Dillon's baseball.  


Kayda was the best pitcher on the team, especially as she and I practiced.  By the end of the season she was getting pretty fast, which she was SO excited about and super proud of.  She's decided she'd like to try a regular league next year.
Her absolutely favorite position was pitcher but she was really good about encouraging the other girls to try it (which actually got another girl to start pitching that did not want to) and had absolutely no problem trying different positions.  Pitcher was certainly my favorite position to watch her play.

Kayda fell in love with the cheers.  She'd listen to the more experienced teams and learned their cheers, we'd look up cheers and then she would lead her team throughout the games.  When she first started doing it... It was rough.  They only knew one and did it over and over.  It got better as the season progressed.
