Campbell Primary School were very excited to play host to an introductory session of the Home Run Heroes junior softball program on Wednesday of this week, and boy didn’t we get lucky with the weather! Featuring a 40 minute session with a specialist coach from Softball Australia, students from Years 1 to 4 were introduced to the basic skills of T-ball including batting, fielding, throwing and catching through modified game play.

It was great to see students cheering each other on and getting right into the excitement of the game. Feedback from the coach was very positive and we are delighted to share that Coach Karthik will return for a Year 5 and 6 session during a very special event later this term.

For those inspired to give softball or T-ball a try this summer, there is a 4 week after school introductory program coming up in Hawker (see the attached flyer) or club information can be found at the website www.act.softball.org.au/play-softball/junior-league/.
