Practice #12 at Method Road started off with players straggling in due to heavy traffic condition with ESPN being in town. Coach Mike never showed up, we all assume he was stuck in traffic for the entire practice. A bunch of other Mudcat parents ventured off to locate Coach Mike and never returned leaving the grandparents in charge.
Practice was comprised of three stations. A hitting station involving the famous canoe paddle with Coach Tom (one player hitting tennis balls while the other player trying to catch the tennis balls), soft toss with Coach Jim, and hurricane. Coach Tom had a special deal for the players at the canoe station, any player that caught a tennis ball using good form Coach Tom would do 10 push-ups. It has been hard for him to make it to the gym with so many practices and games so he has to keep fit at all means. He ended the practice having done 130 push-ups.
An infield station led my Coach Andrew involved lots of hard hit ground balls being fielded. The players tried to hit the ball bucket to win themselves gum.
The final station worked on base running and yelling time. Coach Rob was unstoppable with tennis balls to the outfielder, who had to get the ball into second as quickly as possible. Once the ball was in the infield a fierce time was called.
A scrimmage followed all the station work. Once everyone hit three times the Coaches held the post practice meeting. This practice the coaches were looking for good form and focus. LB was awarded with the one and only helmet sticker for showing good form and focus in every aspect of practice.
The Mudcats are next in action at Nowell Field on Saturday at 9:30AM versus the Riverdogs (1-2). Pre-game will start at 8:30AM.
