Brian Trupiano demonstrates fielding positions.
“There are five types of ground balls you should learn
about fielding,” explained Brain Trupiano to the group of youngsters gathered
around him. “They are the standard straight ground ball right in front of you,
forehand, cross over back-hand, feet planted back-hand and charge play on a
slow roller.” Changing his body positioning and his arm angles, Trupiano
continued to show how to make each of these plays, and had each of the young
ball players practice the same.
Fielding was one of three baseball skills taught by former
professional ballplayers to more than one hundred boys and girls who attended
last month's baseball clinic put on by the Plymouth River Eels.

Behind
the laughter, sweat, and toothy smiles of children at the Boys & Girls Club of
Plymouth lies oft-worn athletic equipment and playground balls.
Dodge
balls, baseballs, baseball mitts, footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, and are
amongst their most coveted items, popular with the hundreds of Plymouth youth
that they serve.

and a training ground for young minds.
