GUESS WHO PARTS 3 AND 4 ANSWERS

I thought this one might be harder than the first 2. Everyone who voted got Cayli correct, but for the other person we got votes for Margaret, Libby (2), Sara and Kylie. The real answer is.............

CAYLI AND SARA!!!

Kylie was the first to answer correctly and her prize is her favorite candy bar--Milky Way with nuts.

Storm Fundraiser

The Storm is currently working on a fundraiser for their Natonal tournament trip in July.

Each player will be selling Papa John's Pizza coupon books. For only $5 the book contains several "buy-1 get-1" offerswhich more than pay for the $5 donation. The biggest savings however is that each book contains a coupon for 1 FREE PIZZA which can be redeemed at any Papa Johns with no other purchse required. This is a great deal as everyone loves pizza--especially free pizza.

To purchase a coupon book and support the Storm just contact any of the players or coaches. All profits from this fundraiser will go toward the Storm's trip to the NAFA National Tournament in Rockford, IL.

GREAT VIDEO...

I recently put a video link on this page about a college game where a player hit a home run--her first ever home run. Rounding 1st base, she blew out her knee and couldn't continue. Please watch this one. It's a better video with footage of the game. It's a great clip to watch with your daughters.

GUESS WHO????? PART 2

Here's another installment of our favorite (and most embarrassing) game.

Any guesses?????

Mechanics of hitting and pitching

This series of clips is awesome. Just click on the title to be linked to the page. Scroll down on the left side and slide your mouse over the 12 steps of hitting. You will also see that although major leaguers have some bad habits and unique stances, the swings of the best players are pretty similar to ours. You'll also find a pitching breakdown. (Notice that major league pitchers have NOTHING in common with us).
