Winter Workouts Unlikely
November 17th, 2008Unfortunately, it does not appear likely we will be able to sponsor winter workouts or pitching clinics this year as the Fieldhouse does not seem to be available due to the practice schedules for all the winter school sports teams. Several participants from last season would prefer not to utilize BC Cate this year due to its small area. We will continue to work on it, but at this time, we may need to wait until Spring.
Fall and Winter Workouts
October 16th, 2008It doesn’t look good right now for winter pitching clinics and practices as the school is having trouble finding times and dates for us. We have asked that they keep trying. We will let you know. As a reminder, the fall practices are done for the year due to lack of interest.
Lack of Interest Terminates Fall Workouts
October 13th, 2008Based on dwindling attendance and apparent lack of interest, we have decided to terminate fall practices for 16U/19U players. We decreased attendance weekly from 3 to 2 to 0 week to week. Also, unless Watkins Glen School comes thru for us on days and times for winter pitching clinics/winter workouts, as well as a site, we will be forced to cancel our plans for winter pitching clinics/winter workouts. I will keep you informed, but at this date it does not look good. imter workouts we will be forced to cancel these plans also.
This Sunday’s Practice to Start at 5 pm
October 10th, 2008This Sunday’s practice will start at 5 pm and end at 6:30 pm. This past Sunday the turnout was small. In order to continue these practices, we need more girls to show. Also, this winter’s indoor practices are in jeopardy as we have not been successful in getting the WGCS to commit to a day or location. We are still trying. Stay tuned.
16U and 19U Practice on for Sunday
October 4th, 2008Please remember that 16U/19U practice is scheduled for this Sunday at 4:30pm at the WGCS field. It should conclude by 6 pm. See you all there. Please pass the word.
Practice Off
September 28th, 2008Needless to say, practice today has been cancelled due to the downpour. See you next Sunday at 4:30 pm.
Looks Good For This Sunday
September 23rd, 2008In emailing and contacting several parents, interest seems high for practice this fall. As indicated earlier, they will now be on Sundays at 4:30 pm for an hour and a half weather permitting through the end of October. We will then take a couple weeks off and hopefully move indoor to the Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoons until March. Those invited to the outdoor practices are 2009’s 16U and 19U teams (yes, the 10U team is close to becoming a reality, with several inquiries and the belief that we can also utilize the skills of our older 16U players. We will talk further about that in future blogs. Keep posted!!
Slow Start to Fall Practice
September 22nd, 2008We only had 3 show up last nite at our first fall workout, but those 3 were in top form, even the hitting. We will be moving it next Sunday to an earlier starting time: 4:30-6 pm. Get the word out. Let’s get maximum participation.
Final Reminder–16U/19U Softball Workout Starts This Sunday
September 18th, 2008Beginning this Sunday, September 21 from 5:30-7:15 pm, all 16U and 19U, players, whether registered from last year (this includes those from the 12U who would move up) or those registering for next season, are invited to the WGCS softball field for weekly workouts. All you need to bring are your glove and enthusiasm. Pass the word. These will continue until the end of October. In November, we anticipate indoor workouts at the Fieldhouse. Stay tuned for further announcements on these!!!
Another Change in the 16U/19U Practice Schedule
September 16th, 2008At the request of a couple of our players, I am again changing the practice schedule for fall outdoor practices. They will be on Sundays at 5:30 pm at WGCS. We will practice until about 7:15. These are not mandatory but voluntary for anyone who would like to get an early jump on next season.
