Christian Park Softball
Registration and Medical release forms have been mailed out to the girls from last year that played for me and to the girls that are moving up from majors. At this time we have about 16 potential players. That's a great number to start with.
Opening day at the park is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th. I think I would like to meet with everyone that day. Maybe we'll borrow a pickup truck, decorate it, and join the minor/major teams as they cruise the neighborhood, cheering and screaming.
At this time, I think our first practice will be Saturday, May 1st, about 10:00, on the softball field over at Howe Academy - 4900 Julian. We will have practices on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00, with weekend practices on Saturday at 10:00. I don't like to get up that early either. I'll provide more detail when it's time to start.
As for the season, I'd like to play our first game around May 18 and have 3 games a week - Tuesday and Thursday (Players @ 5:30 Game @ 6:00) and on Saturday (Player @ 9:30 Game @ 10:00). This should last through the end of June.
I've contacted I.C., Lowe, Lawrence and Carnine about games, and they are not quite ready to get started, so I'll give them another month. I also plan on talking with Community. Hopefully, we will have about 18 games and maybe we'll actually pull off a July tournament team this year. We'll have to stick together in order to do it.
Keep in touch, e-mail me and let me know what you would like to see out of this year's team.
