Weather- it always seems as though it never cooperates, and today was especially a great example for students of Write On Sports. What was supposed to be a fun day to watch the NJ Jackals turned out to be a day of literally being soaked because of a storm that was blown out of proportion. Besides the wacky weather, WOS still had fun, as well as other camps who were there to watch the "supposed-to-be" game. Also, the writing camp got the opportunity to interview the coaches of the team.
Ponchos, umbrellas, you name it, everyone who attended got drenched either way. Luckily, WOS squished under a tent the entire time once finished interviewing the coaches. Both the coaches and students got the opportunity to share some information as well as ask a lot of questions. The NJ Jackals have a series of different age groups and cultures, and Kristie Keleshian got to ask if there were any teams a majority of the team is a fan of, but because of the fact that there are so many different people who are not local to the tri-state area, there isn't one, surprisingly. "We've got players from all over," mentioned the pitching coach. This New Jersey team seems to be a big melting pot for not only different cultures, but different ages as well. There are many veterans, as well as a lot of rookies and they all help each other just like a group of students in a classroom, as the pitching coach would compare.
All in all, this was a great day, with music old, yet timeless, music that helped make this environment even more fun than it already was.
