How to succeed in T-ball

There are some things you need to know before venturing out on the T-Ball field. 

First of all, you need to take the game seriously. This is no joking matter and winning is a must. Case in point:

Get your game face on!


OK, now that you are in the right frame of mind, let's get on with the basics of succeeding in T-Ball.


#1: Always be in READY position. Glove down, head up ready for the ball to come to you!



#2:  Make sure your shadow is at the game with you. You can always use the extra help.


#3: Get rid of the weeds!  The field must be free and clear of all debris.


#4: Keep your eye on the runner. You never know what shenanigans those 5 year olds will pull. This can still be done while in the 'ready position'. 


#5: Always use TWO HANDS when fielding the ball. This will ensure that you NEVER miss the ball. Ever.

#6: Focus. Focus. Focus.


#7: Perform a successful "I've arrived" pose when you arrive at the base. It must be announced with flare!

#8: When all else fails...stare 'em down, because nothing scream intimidation like a good stare down.


#9: Last, but definitely not least important, look cute playing. Your skill will never define you as a ball player, only how good you wear the uniform (and perhaps your ability to actually look at the camera)!


Cheers!
