Jonas has officially begun the baseball season for the first time! Bear Creek Youth Sports T-ball started last week and has had 3 practices so far. He loves the teammates and loves the coaches and loves BASEBALL. His coaches, Dave and Eric, are dads of 2 boys on the team, they love coaching the little guys and having fun. Since I wasn't there for the first practice, Matt took some photos.
First they had to tuck in their shirts because that's what baseball players do, they look respectful and nice.
Coaches taught the boys to throw correctly with 2 fingers back like a snake.
Considering Jonas is the smallest and youngest on the team and never has been coached, the coaches were quite impressed. He told Matt, "He is a natural, the best to coach." Living up to the Helton name...hee!
Getting into an athletic stance to catch grounders like an alligator.
Matt and I are so happy for Jonas and the love for the sport. He just jumps right out there with the team and listens to the coach with eagerness to learn. He truly wants to know more about the game and improve in any way. He is so attentive and excited to be on a baseball team.
His first game is April 14th.
