Tuesday and Thursday baseball games this month involve two Bartle boys: Zachary and Garry. We hadn't planned on Garry coaching this season (I need help on the sidelines!), but no one else volunteered. So with a tiny bit of training and a bag of Parks & Rec equipment, Dad has once again become Coach Garry.
First- and second-graders are somewhat more coordinated and capable than the kids on Tyler's team. Players get four chances to hit a pitched ball before using a tee. Zach hit pitches during both of his at-bats. Once he smacked the ball right into Garry's knee!
No matter what the stage, baseball involves lots of this -- sitting around. Gavin, for one, didn't appreciate it.
The players really enjoyed their first game together and look forward to many more!
Way to go, Coach!

There's nothing like a night at the baseball field! I love it! I am glad Garry could step in and coach, he looks like he enjoys it!
Thats so fun! My dream it so be my little girl's soccer coach :)
There's nothing liking watching your kids play baseball/tball. I have SO many fond memories. They're so adorable! Kudos to Garry for being willing to coach. Isn't it amazing how many people don't feel any obligation to help? Kudos to you, as well, for all you do on the sidelines.
Way to go, Coach Garry. You are amazing. It looks like Zach is a head taller than anyone else. Is that right?
