To the Editor,
I am honored to be coaching Granger Coach pitch. I think it is very important to start kids playing sports at the earliest age possible. I hope my team and parents stick together all through our children’s school years. I want to not only win, but for kids to be accepted and to have as much fun as possible as well.
I am so thankful for all of my team’s helpers and the support from my parents. I look forward to being in touch and communicating with everybody throughout the years, which won’t be long.
Before we know it, we will all be attending our children’s high school graduations – time flies.
Our kids have so much potential and right now, time to grow. I want no one on my team left behind or to fall through the cracks because nobody is better than anyone else.
Let’s all stick together and focus on sports and the many good times to come in the years ahead. I hope by next year our team doubles or even triples in size.
Communication is very important and I want parents of children from this age bracket to bring their kids to practice and to involved with sport activities.
I am learning Spanish to my boyfriend is bilingual so we are able to communicate with both parents and team members.
All the members of my team are working hard. We have had a lot of fun. Our team has good ballplayers who are talented and have lots of energy. I can’t say how many times I have gotten hit with a ball this year or have had to fall quickly to prevent being hit in the face by one of the many power hitters on the team.
I am very proud of the entire team, the parents, helpers and those who provide snacks.
