Pictures from Sunday, May 15th Game

Our first game is just DAYS away!!!!

Our first game is finally here!  

Sunday, May 8th / 4:00 p.m. at Westchester # 4.

Game Attire - Team jersies, crazy socks and black pants.

Arrival Time - I am requesting that the girls be there no later than 20 mins before the scheduled games in order for warm ups.

Field Positions - I will email out the field position schedule for each game prior to the game so that as parents, we can talk to our daughters about the importance of their upcoming field position. See attached.

Snacks - I have Avery listed as providing post-game snacks for the first game.

**IMPORTANT!!!** We have our team pictures scheduled for Sunday, May 15th 3pm.  Everyone should have received the Modern Image envelope/order form at the "Meet the Coach" day at Scheels back in March.  If you didn't make it out to Scheels or don't have your envelope, I have extras for you and you can fill them out on that Sunday.  If, for whatever reason, you cannot be there at 3pm, there will be a retake time and date on Monday, May 16th from 5-6:30pm.  They are composite team photos.

 

The efforts and excitement from the girls, the asst coaches and the parents who get the girls where they need to be is appreciated and has prepared us to begin the season.  Let's continue the effort as the season begins to ensure that the girls have a memorable season and great time with softball.

Please let me know if you have questions.  Thanks.

Practice Schedule

I hope the girls are getting as excited as I am about the start of our season!  I was able to book 2 practices for our team prior to starting games in May.

We will be practicing at Le Beau fields in Millard.  For those of you that don't live in the area, we refer to that park as "Neihardt Park".  It is located between 150th & 152nd - right off of Harrison Street.  I have reserved the lower field for us on the following dates:

Saturday 4-16-11   2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Thursday 4-21-11  6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER)
Saturday 4-30-11 12:00pm to 1:00 p.m. (upper diamond)

I am keeping these practices to an hour because of the age of the girls and I know that families are busy these days.  I am looking forward to going over the basics with the girls in these two practices.  In the meantime, please get outside with them and toss the ball a bit to get them used to wearing their gloves and work on hand/eye coordination for catching and throwing and also, if you have a smaller bat (even a plastic one) at home have them take a few swings to get used to it. 

Please let me know if you can make one or both practices so I can know how many to expect to attend practice sessions.  Also, if anyone would like to help assist on those two dates, let me know. I always appreciate the help!
