Monday 4/15

Good Evening Everyone,
As you may all know, we are scheduled to have a game against John Stark tomorrow at 4pm on the field at Civic Memorial Field. 
I have heard from 5 players from the JV team that are able to attend the game. The names of those players are as follows:
Kylee Peck
Chloe Charbono
Stella Rose
Alyssa Smith-Duff
Libby Tafe
I look forward to seeing you at Civic Memorial Field at 3:15pm.
The weather does not look promising for tomorrow. Should the game be postponed due to the rain the tentative rain date is the 16th (Tuesday). There are some issues that are on the table for the game to be rescheduled on Tuesday. I am waiting for more information from the AD on how the situation will be resolved. Baseball has a rule about how many pitches the pitcher athlete can throw within a specific amount of time. Being that there are three other games scheduled this week, there is a concern that this will create a conflict with this rule.
Once I have further information if we end up in this situation I will communicate as soon as I receive word.
 
If tomorrow's game is canceled I will send out communication once I information from the AD.
If there are any questions please let me know.

Cookie Fundraiser

Good Evening Everyone,
I want to start off by saying that the girls did an absolutely amazing job during the fundraising event on Monday! The positive atmosphere and up beat motivation to participate was excellent!
 
So what's next...
Order forms are do to me at the start of practice tomorrow. This is so I can get them submitted for processing.
After the forms are mailed out I will receive an email from the company notifying me of their receipt of the orders. They will at the same time give me a list of possible delivery dates. It will be at that time that I will pick a date when the cookie dough will come in for distribution. Once distributed I have one week to collect money from the players. The players, when they receive the cookie orders, will be responsible for delivery of the product to their customers and collection of funds.
As we move through each step of this process I will email out what the next step will be with any definitive information I have at that time. 
As always, if there are any questions or should I need to clarify anything please let me know.
Thank you so much for everyone's participation and support of our program.

Practice times and Extra Evaluation times

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am emailing today to clarify a question that has come up a few times.
As you should know, we are doing evaluations this week. I was able to secure extra gym time to evaluate players outside of our regular practice time.
Players are required to be at all our regularly scheduled practice times regardless if they attended one of the extra evaluation times to be evaluated. As the week progresses there will be an ever growing group of athletes that will have completed the evaluation. Once we have evaluated enough players to permit the space to resume regular practice we will go back to a standard practice while the rest finish their evaluation.
To explain the scheme and maneuver of the way the process will work is the athletes will be divided up into groups and will move together from station to station. Some players will not have to evaluate with their group because they had completed that portion previously (at one of the extra evaluation periods). However they will stay in their groups and move through the stations together.
The purpose for this process is to help expedite the evaluations to get us back to normal practice, in addition to provide opportunities for those who may have had an evaluation that would warrant a re-evaluation. 
The other difficulty we experience with evaluations is the time it takes to get everyone through the batting cage to do the hitting evaluation. The extra gym time does not elevate this issue but it allows us to complete the other portions of the evaluation.
if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Weight Room Vs Workouts at practice

Good Evening Everyone,

I am emailing you this evening to clarify and communicate what the workout plans/expectations will be going forward. The option was put before the team that if they agreed to all attend the weight room times that are offered we would limit/ reduce the workouts conducted at practice (there has to be some form of warmup in order to properly prepare the athletes for practice). Because the team could not reach a consensus we will proceed with a team based workout at practice and those who are interested may attend the weight room times voluntarily.
If there are any questions please let me know.

Practice Canceled 2/18

Good Evening Everyone,
I am emailing you to communicate that practice this evening will be canceled.
Reason for the cancelation is that with the uncertain weather conditions I do not want to put anyone at risk traveling. The temperature is dropping and I do not know what road conditions may be like either to or from practice. In addition to weather, I do not know what the turn out will be this evening as it is the start of winter break. I do realize that families tend to try and plan vacations or quality time during these kind of breaks. 
 
I apologize for the late notice and I do appreciate your patience.
There will be practice on Wednesday. The focus for practice will be batting.
If you could please respond / reply so I can estimate how many players will be attending it would be appreciated.
