Practice Update - Wednesday, March 25

It appears that the weather is going to cooperate today (unlike yesterday), so everyone should plan on being outside for practice from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. Same field assignments as yesterday. It won't be as warm, however, so be sure to have sleeves, pants, etc.

Practice Update - Tuesday, March 24

So far, so good! Weather.com is predicting that the rain should hold off until sometime during the 5:00 hour. That means we should still be able to get outside for practice tonight - same field assignments as last night. If we get significant rain during practice, however, we will NOT move back inside. We will just end the practices at the field and look ahead to Wednesday night.

CORRECTION - Monday, March 23

I misread the practice schedule ... if we practice inside today, it will run from 5 - 7!!!!!

So keep praying for sunshine so everyone can go out at 3:00.

Practice Update - Monday, March 23

It looks like the rain might miss us tonight/tomorrow, so we should be able to get outside (Varsity @ Anderson; JV @ Fairview). If we can not get outside, we have both gyms from 3:15 - 5:00.

Tuesday is still up in the air, as we have the gyms from 7 - 9 and there's a greater chance of rain. Keep praying for good weather.

Last note ... If you wanted to order any additional apparel, give the forms/check to me or Coach Pessman at the end of practice Monday or drop the form off at my office first thing Monday.

Second Apparel Order

We will be placing a second U-High Softball apparel order next Tuesday, March 24. If you have decided that you want something else, please download the order form, and return it with payment to me by the end of practice on Monday, March 23. The order form is available at: www.uhigh.ilstu.edu/math/sondgeroth/09_sb_order.pdf

One note ... We need at least 12 of a given type of print in order to submit an order. That is, we need at least 12 screen printed items (grey t-shirt or gray hooded sweatshirt) and/or at least 12 embroidered items (polo, fleece, windshirt, dri-fit t, visor, or trucker hat). Obviously, we stand a much better chance of getting to 12 embroidered items. It is less likely that we would get to 12 sweat pants or black t's, but I'll make every effort to make sure we get everything possible.

Practice Update - Saturday, March 21

The JV team will practice on Saturday morning from 10:00 am - 12:00 noon. We will start in the gyms at U-High and move to Fairview as the weather permits.

With weather in the forecast for Sunday - Thursday of next week, please pay close attention to the indoeer practice schedule posted on the U-High website.

No JV Game Saturday :(

Prairie Central has backed out of our tentative softball DH this Saturday. As a result, the JV will simply have practice. See the note below.

Additionally, please remove the DH w/ El Paso - Gridley from your schedule. They phoned today, stating that they did not have enough players to field a JV team.

Practice Update - March 19

All players should report to Fairview Park by 3:30 pm. It will be chilly, so remember to bring sweatpants and long sleeve shirts. Practice will end around 5:30 pm.

Tentative schedule for the rest of the week ...
Friday, March 20 - Varsity only from 3:30 to 5:30 at Fairview
Saturday, March 21 - JV only from 10:00 to 12:00 - we will start at U-High and finish at Fairview.

Possible JV Game on Sat, March 21

If we have enough girls available to play, we have the opportunity to play a JV double header on Saturday, March 21, at 10:00. We would leave from U-High around 8:00 am and return around 3:00 pm.

All JV players - please respond via e-mail to Coach Sondgeroth (sgrothfam@aol.com) asap to confirm or deny your availability for this contest.

Picture Clarification for JV Players

JV players should bring BOTH their shorts and their pants to practice tomorrow. We will make a final decision at 3:00 as to which you will wear.

If you own forest green or gold (PCSL yellow) socks, please bring them with you tomorrow. We will make a final decision at 3:00 as to what color everyone will wear.

Please remember to bring your completed envelope - along with check - with you to practice tomorrow. See the post below if you need another copy of the envelope.
