So Much to Tell Part 2...

Christmas day the Daly family was on the road to Boca Raton, Florida to attend the Florida Atlantic University Prospect softball camp for Alicia. This is one of the schools Alicia is interested in attending. The Daly family believes in starting their college preparation early for Alicia so that she has an idea what is out there and what types of schools she would like to attend. This is good because it gives the college coaches a chance to see how much Alicia's skills grow over the next couple of years.

The picture below shows a picture of Alicia throwing the ball in to the infield from the outfield. She worked on outfield drills. Look at those lovely green knees.

During the three days that they were at camp, the players were broken into four teams and they scrimmaged. Alicia went 5 for 6. The first game she had a beautiful soft slap between the 2nd and 3rd baseman that just died when it hit the ground and Alicia was easily on first base. Alicia has become very good on her placements of her slaps.

The picture below is of Alicia on first base during one of the scrimmage games.

During base running, Alicia almost came in under 11 seconds from home to home. What prevented from doing so was that everyone who went before her had piled up at home plated and she had to slow up otherwise she would have plowed into them. The coaches were all cheering " come on , come on".

Alicia's next trip will be to the Southern Star All-Star Showcase in which she is only 0ne of seven North Carolinians chosen to play. She will be traveling to the campus of Georgia Southern University on January 20th for this big individual event.
