Year one has come to an end... and after about three days off it is time for the preparation for year two.

I, along with the head coach, have decided to put together a off season weight, throwing, and agility program for the kids. We realized that the only way to get better is to get the kids bigger, faster, and stronger.

We ended the year with 7 wins, which is more wins than the previous two years combined. If the gloves were a little more steady it could have easily been a 12 win year.

I feel like after the shock of being pushed in baseball for the first time in their high school career, the boys finally realized that it was making them better.

We had a kid miss the school record for single season average by 1 hit after hitting under .200 last year. Finishing with a .556 average and 33 stolen bases. The average puts him at 5th in the Bi-State area.

I can't wait until we get to do it again... now only if I could have found a summer ball job. Ha.
