The Scorpion Team

The Start of it all

It was raining so hard that no one could really see past 10 feet. Today was going to be the first practice of the year. I was so excited to finally be on a Softball team. The Lady Scorpions are the best team in the whole county. To be on this team, you really have to prove yourself. No, no, no, it's not a snoody team or anything. The coaches just want to make sure you are willing to put in the work and effort.
The only reason I wasn't on it last year was because of two reasons. One being I had a broken wrist and two being they said I wasn't
quit ready but try again next year and surely I would make the team. That's exactly what I did. That moment I officially became part of the team and it changed my whole life. Here's exactly how it happen.
Two month before tryouts I was so excited! I was stronger and better than last year and for sure I was going to make it on the team. It's all I would talk about at school and even at home. Now the time has come.
After school I would go straight home to do my chores and finish my homework. As soon as I was done I would shoot out the door to go practice with my friends at a nearby ballpark. My friend Millie's dad used to play baseball so he would coach us. His experience and know how put us to work. We would run a mile every day, practice throwing and catching, batting and we would rotate our positions.
Coach said by doing this we would learn 3 things from it. 1. Being we would all be familiar with all the positions and play them correctly. 2. We would find out which ones we have the most trouble in and needed work. 3. We would learn which positions we were better at compared to the others. He made it clear by learning all of this we would all be familiar to fill in an empty position in case one of us couldn't make it.
    This year I'm sure I will make it on the team. After all my friend Millie was on it last year. Coach says he think I'm ready and I sure do hope so.
