Parents—
You are welcome to attend and observe tryouts. I ask that you please do not talk to your athlete during this time. If you need to speak to your athlete or ask a question, save those things for after tryouts at 7pm.
Also, we are not having a sophomore team this year. We are not able to get enough games for the girls throughout the season and we will be moving the sophomore team up to JV. Varsity player will no longer be JV/Varsity they will solely be the Varsity team and the JV team will be staffed just as we would staff the sophomore team.
This will give the girls the opportunity to play more games and face better competition throughout the season. This will also keep both teams training together and allow us to be more involved as coaches.
When the teams are finalized, I will be putting together a tournament team. This team will be traveling to our opening tournament in St George, Utah from March 7th after school and will return March 9th following the tournament. They will stay together as a team in a hotel with coaches as chaperones and will travel to and from games on the bus. All girls will be required to ride the bus to St. George and are able to ride home with family following the tournament. (Parents will need to let me know if they are taking their child with them after the tournament.)
To start the season there are a few yearly fees that are going to be due by
March 6th to the finance office.
The fees are:
- $140 participation fee
- $100 St George tournament- only the tournament team will be paying this fee.
(We will also be taking a parent vote during the parent meeting to make sure we are all in support of traveling to
St George for our opening tournament.)
- $60 player pack fee that will be covered by the softball program's fundraising for 2019 season. If your athlete decides to not participate in the fundraising this $60 fee will be due when their player pack arrives.
For the season your athlete will receive in their player pack 3 practice shirts, game socks, game belts, a black crewneck sweatshirt, and a maroon compression shirt. We are also offering a reward and incentive to the team with game day jackets for their participation and hard work during our fundraising.
Your athlete will need the following for season:
- Black and White game pants
- Black long sleeve compression shirt for game days, their player pack will provide the maroon long sleeve compression shirt
- A white helmet
- Glove
- Bat
- Bat bag for practice and game days (this will carry their equipment)
We will cover these items in greater detail during our parent meeting on February 28th @ 6:30 in the team room at Maple Mountain High School.
I am looking forward to working with everyone this season!
Thank you,
Jackie
