Softball winter workouts are a time to stay active during the off season and brush off rust to prepare for spring. Winter workouts for girls who play in Emerson take place at the Emerson Junior-Senior High School gym. Girls in grades one through eight can participate. High school students who play softball sometimes assist and give tips to the younger players. Ava Khiami, a fifth grader, has a favorite skill to practice.
“Batting because it gives you an opportunity to use your strength and hit a home run,” Khiami said.
Alexa Samuels, a fourth grader, tells us how she motivates herself before a big game.
“I motivate myself for a game by telling myself that we are going to win and our team is going to do great,” Samuels said.
