Another sure sign that the summer months are quickly approaching is the sound of bats clinking, kids cheering, parents yelling words of encouragement and dust flying as a kid slides into home plate. Yep, it's the start of the youth league season in our area.
Shawano Youth League opened its season Sunday evening with T-Ball
-- my daughter players on the Sand Gnats team -- while the other age
groups all opened on Monday evening.
The regular season runs through the end of June, but then July is filled with tournaments nearly every weekend.
Youth baseball is a treat to photograph. Unlike high school
baseball, you have nearly unlimited access to the diamond, players and
coaches. You get some pretty neat close-up images of kids mingling with
teammates, getting talked to by the coaches and being congratulated by
the parents.
Here is a soundslides show I put together after the opening day of the Shawano Youth League season.Just click on the image to view the slideshow.
