Around twenty girls and about twenty-five guys walk out on their field and take it all in. They dream about hitting the homerun that wins the game or a tag that saves the team’s record. But, before this can happen they must attend try-outs (aka. a gut check). One to three brutal days of being a warrior is not a walk in the park. You have to fight to defend your special place on the team, because eighth grader or sixth grader, the coaches don’t care. At the time the laps, duck walks, and all the torturous drills we have to endure may not seem worth it. But when you least expect it, the fight you put into the tryouts brings you through the season and greatly increases your heart size. By Wednesday January 12th, tryouts will be over and team rosters will be posted.
