FALL SOFTBALL: IMPORTANT RAIN INFORMATION

Hi all...

Anytime we need to break a drought situation, all you have to do is ask me to schedule an outside event!

We will need to go forward with plans for Thursday Aug 28th, rain or shine. I seriously doubt we will be able to do evaluations. However, we need to complete registrations and uniform fittings. This will be THE ONLY chance to try on uniforms and LAST CHANCE to register.

We will be at the bus shelter next to the school from 5:30p-7:30p

Then, we will do skills evaluations and team drafts as follows:

Tuesday Sept 2nd at 6pm:
7-8s on the pinto field
9-11s on the softball field

Weds Sept 3rd at 6pm:
12-14s on the softball field
15-18s on the baseball field
** this can be a practice for you if there are only enough girls for one team!

Thank you!!
