Beaufort Little League Baseball 2026 season has ended. Tee Ball is on my mind, and LESSONS LEARNED at the field! Our Club voted this year to become a sponsor of a little league team. βΎοΈ We were assigned a tee ball team.ππ€ Let me see if I can EVEN BEGIN to share with you the joy we experienced during their very first baseball season! We had matching BWC tee shirts made to show our support! Those of us who attended games added years to our lives by experiencing deep belly laughs and exhilarating giddiness over cuteness overload! π€© Tee Ball is the foundation of the Little League experience. Games only last 45 minutes, but that's more than enough time for these hard-working, budding champions. They are learning tough lessons like hand-eye coordination by hitting THAT dang ball off the tee, then figuring out how to run counter-clockwise to first base! π€Leaving their bat behind is a plus! π They are mesmerized by the dirt on the field. π€ͺ They are trying their best to concentrate on the game at hand. But...most times...their curiosity gauges are bursting out of control! π΅βπ« They are fighting the urge to feel, dig, roll, and throw the beautiful dirt. ππ They are learning patience as they wait their turn to bat π, one little dude entertained us everytime it was his turn. He would use his body as a bull dozer and his bat as the shovel as he would push up some dirt before he would get setup to hit at the plate. π₯°π€£WE LOVE HIMβ£οΈ ππ€£ I am guessing he will be a tycoon in the heavy equipment industry! EVERY CHILD hits EVERY INNING so they are learning inclusion, no one feels left out. π They are learning resilience when they miss the ball...its just part of the process. π₯Ί They learn TEAMWORK. They look around and realize everyone wearing the same color uniform works together. A favorite was the little girl whose Mom suited her up with a hot pink helmet, belt, socks, and cleats with hot pink accents! SHE was learning a lesson in GIRL POWER! πΌπ©· She represented us well, she was a really good player! These little minds were also learning to FOCUS, which honestly shined a GINORMOUS LIGHT on the PATIENCE, β€οΈ KINDNESS, β€οΈ and GOODNESS β€οΈof our COACHES π₯°π₯°π₯°! They are miracle workers! They find 20 different ways to explain how to hold a bat. π They are QUICK as Lightening when jumping out of the way of an anxious batter swinging! Our coaches exemplified that praise motivates better than criticism.They were dedicated volunteers. How important they were to this long learning journey ahead of these tee ball players who hopefully continue in the sport! THANK YOU COACHES!!! YOU ALL GET TROPHIES! πππ Because of you these kids learned a love for the game and basic social discipline! To the community of fans made up of family and friends who know and love these players, thank you for welcoming us into the local park culture at Freedom Park to cheer with you, laugh with you, rediscover the simple pleasures of feeling all the emotions of the innocence of youth. π₯Ήππ€ Our mission is to support our community and we want you to know this experience... because of each one of you, has been one of the most enjoyable and enriching things we have participated in! THE BIG WIN is defined by the kids smiles after the game as they run to the concession stand for a well deserved free game dog! Great job The Potter Barn concessions! You put out excellent food all season long! β€οΈ Until next year...y'all keep doing what you do best and let us know how to help you! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
