Latest News
Alicia once again has been honored by being invited to a prospective camp. At this time the Daly family as chosen not to attend this camp.
Alicia continues to do her best to help out her high school time. She won her first conference game as pitcher when Northern Guilford played Eastern Guilford at home. Here is the link to what the Greensboro Sports had to say. Alicia was recently very helpful to her team in the home game against Western Alamance. She analysized the fielders and placed a bunt down for a hit to first base. This play enabled her to score and rallied her team. She also had several beautiful catches in the outfield.
Alicia recently helped out with the Sumerfield Recreational Association's softball clinic. She truely enjoyed her time working with the little softball players. She made a very special little fan named Caroline , whom called Alicia, Huggy. When the clinic was over and Alicia had to leave, Caroline gave Alicia a big Huggy.
Later that weekend, when Alicia was out with her friends and representing Northern Guilford High School by wearing her Northern Softball T-shirt, a father came up to her and asked her to give his daughter whom was just starting out in softball advice. Alicia smiled as she always does and said " Never give up". He said when was the last time you struck out and Alicia said " probably two games ago." The father said to his daughter " see it happens to everyone."
After a recent game, a father of a one of the players as well as a travel softball coach, stopped Alicia and told her that she is always smiling no matter what happens on the ball field and don't ever change that. Even her fellow team-mates say she is always smiling.
Alicia continues to collect used softball equipment to take to the chinese girls when she travels to China in August. This equipment will help change their lives and may even help develope more teams/players for future Olympics. This link by Michael Bastian might help explain that a little.

Asked Again...

Her main focus at the moment is helping her high school team and preparing herself for the summer season.

Spring season starts....
Once again so much to fill the reader in on. Alicia is always busy when it comes to softball. Let's see if we can give the reader a quick update and then maybe go back to discuss different topics in more detail.
1. Southern Star All-Star Showcase was an experience but was mostly rained out. The green team which Alicia played on got one good game in. She truely was only concerned with Coach Anne Smith from Georgia Southern University getting the opportunity to see her hit. Coach Anne actually encouraged someone to get out of the way to watch Alicia slap.
2. Alicia is working out with the Spirit Fastpitch Black 18U from East Wake County. The Dalys feel that this is a competative, family oriented team that is taking it's players to college level playing. They feel that playing 18U is where Alicia needs to be to be seen by college recruiters. Alicia has already played with them the weekend of February 4-5 at UNCW clinic.
3. Alicia just made her varsity high school softball team in which she will help out being the #2 pitcher and then fill in as either middle infield (the position her travel team is grooming her for) or outfield. Alicia is happy to have a few young softball players following her blog and what she does and hopes to set a good example for them.
4. Alicia will continue to see her hitting/pitching coach Coach Michael Bastian and will even be traveling to China with him in August to play with the Chinese National Softball Team. Mrs. Daly has been starting a charity to collect used softball equipment for girls that can't afford it and Alicia will deliver this equipment to China.

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.
