Click here to see full image What a way to kick-off the new Springball season! After coordinating with parents, 10U Coach Joe Uribe and his assistants organized a Sunday morning “kidnapping” of the new team members.

In addition to muchin’ on some excellent pancakes, the team was tasked with coming up with a team name using only the uniform color – kelly green – as a guideline. And with that, the 10U Holy...

I love softball. I love watching the girls play and cheer. I love working the snackbar and meeting new people. I love being part of the SHB Family.

Last year, we forgot Zoey’s swim goggles and I was happy my wife had some wipes on hand, as Zoey came in frequently for face wiping. Of course, very soon, we couldn’t tell which girl was under the huge mounds of shaving cream, so we may have cleaned up a few others, as well! Zoey’s strategy for next year includes the obligatory swim goggles and her plans to develop a holster that can hold 4 shaving cream...
