Keeping up with the ‘Cats: What we’ve been up to, to prepare for the season.

 

Team Activities

Around Halloween time, we carved pumpkins together. We’ve also enjoyed time supporting our fellow bobcats at other sporting events including football

 

Volunteering

Every February break we run a youth softball clinic for Lewiston little league and we also volunteer for a 21^st century field day with local 1^st-6^th graders.  During the holidays, we sang Christmas carols at a local nursing home.  On Halloween, we handed out candy at the local PALS center.

Captain’s Practices

We’ve had captain’s practices three times a week to prepare for season. These have included fundamentals like tee work and ground ball form all the way to live pitching and hitting.
