Day 4: Ready to play

On the fourth day of the second American Tour, the Dutch National Team held its third practice session. Head Coach Liz Kelly and her staff started with a 4-station bunt-drill, then defensive drills were held, followed by a batting practice. The practice session was relaxed, but fun and interesting to watch, as there was a lot of action going on again.

Everyone is now ready to play games and that's exactly what's on the schedule now. The practice was the last of this week, as the Dutch National Team will face the Philadelphia Force in ECTB Stadium at Bicentennial Park the next four days in a 4-game series.

In the afternoon, Physical Therapist Rob Oskam took the team out for a walk again and afterwards everyone had the day off.

For the record: It was another fine day with a bright, blue sky and a lot of sun, but with a sometimes chilly wind --- Tomorrow night's game between the Netherlands and Philadelphia Force will be Opening Night in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF), the start of the new season --- Saturday night's game between the two teams will be televised live by a local TV-station --- By the way, the suitcase of rookie Britt Vonk also has arrived in Allentown
