Game Plan for Saturday, April 11
It looks like the rain is letting up, so now we just have to hope that enough drying takes place between tonight and tomorrow morning. I have not had any contact with Bloomington as of 6:00 pm on Friday, so I don't have any idea what there alternate plans may be. We will make the call at Champion.
We will make our initial check of the fields at 8:00 am and will contact people immediately if there is any change in the schedule. Make sure that everyone knows where their phone tree is located so we can contact everyone in a timely fashion tomorrow morning. Options include starting later in the day. If that is the case, we will probably drop down to only one game. We may also consider moving the varsity games to Champion if Bloomington's field is not playable.
Varsity is scheduled to play 2 games tomorrow at the softball field located northwest of Bloomington High School off of Empire St. JV is scheduled to play 2 games at Champion Fields #5 against Bloomington. In both cases, the first game is scheduled to begin at 10:00 am. Players should be at the field dressed and ready to warm-up by 9:00 am.
I assume we will have 20 - 30 minutes available between games for the girls to grab a bite to eat. Each girl should pack something to drink and eat quickly so we can get back on the field and get ready for the second game.

Schedule Update - Thursday, April 9
Due to low numbers at Central Catholic, the JV game will now be played immediately following the Varsity game tomorrow night. Both games will be played at O'Neil Park in west Bloomington.
Additionally, the Varsity game will begin at 4:00. Varsity players will be dismissed at 2:45 and should be at the field ready to begin warming up by 3:15. JV players should be at the field by 4:00.
O'Neil Park is located on the east side of White Oak Rd (Old Rt. 66) north of Market Street in west Bloomington. From U-High, take College Ave west. Go past Parkside Elementary School and pass under I-55/74. Turn left at the stop light. This is White Oak Rd / Old Rt. 66. Follow this road to the field. Maps are available in my office.

Practice Update - Wednesday, April 8
We will practice outside tonight from 3:30 - 5:30. We're not sure of the exact location(s) yet - check the board after 1:00 to find out where your team has been assigned.
If we can not get outside after school, then we will NOT practice later in the evening.

April Practice Schedule
Spring practice schedules are tricky, as our first goal is always to go outside if the weather cooperates. However, there is a schedule for the gym if we should have to go inside.
On the U-High homepage, look for the "Athletics/Activities" section in the right hand column. You will see a links to "Games/Events" (where you can download our schedules) and "Practices" (where you can download the current practice schedule). We do make adjustments to the practice schedule an a fairly regular basis, so it is always a good idea to check back from time to time to make sure things haven't changed.

Schedule Update for Tuesday, 4/7
As of this afternoon, the games for tomorrow were still on. There is, however, one major change to share with you.
Both the Varsity and JV games will be played at Olympia. Initially, the JV was to play at home, but they will now travel with the varsity to Olympia. The girls are dismissed from class at 2:45 and the bus will leave at 3:00.
The weather forecast calls for a high in the upper 40's. But winds from 20 - 30 mph will make things quite chilly. I have encouraged the girls to pack accordingly: gloves, hats, jackets, blankets, etc.

GAME CANCELED - Monday, April 6

Schedule Update - Monday, April 6
We have games scheduled at Maxwell Park against Normal West at 4:15 for both the Varsity and JV teams. Players are responsible for finding their own transportation to the field and should be ready to begin warm-ups by 3:20.
Unfortunately, the weatherman has scheduled 1 - 2 inches of snow and a high temp in the upper 30's. IF the game is canceled, then we will practice from 7:00 - 9:00 in the gyms at U-High. Yes, I know practice will run later than Lindsay Schroeder's bedtime, but we clearly have some areas of our game that need improvement.
