This was written by a 12u girl that plays select ball in Snohomish County. I thought I would share this with everyone.
Once a girl steps onto the field, she is transformed from "daddy's little girl" into a fierce, unrelenting, competitor who will stop at nothing to win the game! With dirt all across her face, sweaty ratty hair, bloody knees and dirt stained socks and uniform, she's a diligent player, who knows the real meaning of hard work, spirit, and fearing nothing coming at her. She displays this as well as cute, color coordinated hair ribbons and matching sleeve straps. Softball is more then a sport, it's a passion, dirt and bruises are in fashion, the wind up, the pitch, the scrambling defense, nervous coaches waving their hands, the swing of the bat, the instant "thud", the speed, the intensity, it's either play hard, or go home, you don't worry about what's next, you just hit the ball and run, yeah...that's what it's all about! If you play softball for either select or just recreation, you play not just to have fun, it's because you know this is what you want to do in your spare time. Make yourself better at what you do, I play because it is my passion, I want to do great and achieve my goals, I'm a catcher on my select team and I run the team!!!
