Today was opening day for Hunter Street Baptist Church (HSBC) Upward Softball. This is Anna Reed's second year to play. Her team is the Orioles. We played the Blue Jays. (And we will every game as they are the only two girl's coach pitch teams!) Her daddy is the assistant coach and I am the team mom.
I just love Upward sports. The league at HSBC helps children develop the basic skills of baseball/softball while in a safe, encouraging, Christian environment. Each practice concludes with a devotion and a memory verse. They earn a green star for each memory verse they learn.
At the end of each game, the girls are awarded individual game stars. Anna Reed received the white "Christ-like" star for this game. Other star awards are defense (red star), offense (gray star), best effort (blue star). I love how each child is recognized for something good they did in the game!
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17
