For Love of the Game

Softball. Nope, there's nothing soft about it.

Mr. Webster defined sport as a physical activity engaged in for pleasure. For someone playing softball, I can attest that it is more complicated than what meets the eye. True, it resembles baseball though bigger balls, smaller fields, and more rules are used.I first played the game when I was still a freshman in high school. I thought it was just sport that's similar to soccer, only with a literally "softer" ball used. We played it for an inter-section competition so I went on playing the game without any knowledge whats over. I was struck out because i kept batting every pitch not knowing if it's a good pitch or a ball. After that, I didn't get to play softball again because on my second year I transferred to another school where softball is uhmm, a "dormant" sport. Softball became a sport that i dream of playing again, if given a chance. Then came high school graduation, where I received the greatest gift ever, the opportunity to be enrolled in a summer camp where I can play softball again -- the Softbelles Summer Camp. read more...
