A Day in Men’s Sports


“A day in the Men’s sport site is always an amazing but different experience. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we work with the 12-13 year olds and on Tuesdays and Thursdays we are with the 8-9 year olds. Also, on Tuesdays and Thursdays there is batting cages at the base in the afternoon for the advanced group. 

A typical day for our site is pretty simple. After breakfast, Dave drives us to the baseball field and on the way, we usually pick up 3-4 kids. We get to the field at around 9 where the majority of the team is waiting for us. The team then warms up and after, we do drills from 9 to 11 and then the last hour we scrimmage with the boys. After scrimmaging, one team member from our site gives their devotion for 5-10 mins. After, we go back to the base for lunch and “ciesta time” and meet back up again at around 2. Once it is 2, depending on the day, what we do varies. It could be batting cages, getting smoothies or haircuts, swimming with the boys, or just relaxing at the base. The boys and the site leaders have been amazing and changed our lives and perspectives. It has been an outstanding experience.”
