Learning the basics

For many, spring is synonymous with baseball.

Throughout Green River, people can see children and teens practicing and playing the sport at almost any park with a ball field.

Some of the youngest children to play are members of the Green River Little League Tee-ball teams. Children, some as young as three years old, pick up the basics of baseball. Running to a base after a hit, trying to catch the ball after it's hit and other simple concepts are passed down.

A score isn't kept and everyone has a chance to bat. Some of the kids pass the time by playing in the dirt or dancing around on a base as they await the next hit. The parents, yelling both encouragement and instructions, enjoy their time outside.
