Softball League - The Librarians

I'm playing on a softball team this summer! Our team name is "The Librarians," which I believe is supposed to indicate our lack of athleticism and coordination. Anyway, they have had practice a couple of times, but I went to my first practice this past Tuesday. As you all know, I am not the best softball player. I'm not horrible, but I'm not great. I was a little intimidated since I pretty much immediatly got pegged as a weak player. Which makes me a bit angry. It's my first practice!!! And I never got coached or played regularly as a kid. Just be patient and give me a chance to catch up a little. And instead of pegging me as a "weak player," why not be supportive and give me some coaching and tips? That would be much better for the team and my self esteem. So, anyway, I'm hoping that I get better as the season goes on.
