Training Camp

So, I said I would blog every day and it hasn't happened. It has been very busy the past few days with players reporting to camp, checking into St. Mary's University in Leavenworth, Kansas (home of the largest state pen in the U.S.) and the first day of practice. Today consisted of hitting and fielding in the morning, followed by more of the same in the afternoon with a scrimmage. We just finished dinner and our evening meetings.

The players are doing a study on Ephesians 6 about putting on the armor of God. The summer theme for FCA is "Get Ready" about those passages and is challenging these athletes to play for the Lord. As athletes they get ready for practices and games, and as Christians we need to get ready to do battle with the powers and principalities that exist in this world.

The Grays have some talented players and the coaching staff is excited to play games. The camp seems a little long, but necessary to gauge the talent of the staff.

I'll post more on Thursday as I gather more information on the team.
