⚾❤️ Mini Redbirds T-Ball Season Wrap-Up!

The first year of the Mini Redbirds T-Ball program wrapped up with a fun-filled weekend! On Friday, June 26, players put the skills they practiced all season into action during game night, showing off their growing confidence, teamwork, and love for the game.

The fun continued on Sunday, June 28, with a relaxed celebration featuring several stations where players could choose their favorite activities—hitting off tees, practicing throws, playing catch with friends, or even taking a few swings against live pitches. It was the perfect way to celebrate all they had learned this summer! To top it all off, each participant received a temporary tattoo, a treat, and a special gift from the coordinators to remember their first Mini Redbirds season.

A huge thank you to the Luverne Baseball Association for providing every participant with a Mini Redbirds T-shirt! We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to our coordinators, Jesse and Whitney Lafrenz, and the many volunteers who gave their time and energy to make this first season such a success.

We can't wait to see everyone back on the field next year! ❤️⚾
