Summer Teams and Lessons
Remember - As per IHSA regulations (3.100), High School softball players may NOT have contact with their summer softball teams until the day AFTER the varsity loses in the state tournament series. The only exception appears to be participation in team fundraising activities. Read the IHSA regulations for full details -
www. IHSA.org/org/policy/index.htm.
Players CAN take lessons (3.110), as long as no more than two UHigh students take the same lesson at the same time.

Apparel Order Form ... revised
I have reposted the apparel order form so that the entire sheet will now fit into your print screen (my apologies to those who have already printed).
Click on the form to enlarge and then print off a copy (can be black/white). Return competed forms (with payment) to me by 8:00 am this Friday.
Reminder to all new players - You need to purchase a forest green sleeve to go under your uniform. You have the option to purchase one with this order.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns - Coach Sondgeroth

Remember ...
... to check one of our sites (blog, facebook or twitter) on a regular basis, especially when you are absent from a practice or game.
For example, we were able to change today's practice time to accommodate the schedule of several of our upperclassmen. Unfortunately, not every player - or their parents - received this information, either because the player was absent or because the player failed to communicate this information to their parents.
Spring is the most difficult time in which to coach, as the weather can wreak havoc on our schedule on a near daily basis. We will do our best to keep these adjustments to a minimum and to communicate these changes in a timely fashion.
Players, please take responsibility for knowing what is going on and for communicating any changes to your parents. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Answers to FAQs
1. Uniform cost? Cost to the players is minimal. We issue each player at least one uniform, usually two. We collect them back at the end of the season.
2. What doesn't come with the uniform that is needed? We ask them to buy a forest green undershirt (available on our apparel order form), a pair of socks (we will discuss this with them at a later date), and a pair of cleats (whatever they feel comfortable in). Additionally, we encourage them to buy a black UH visor (available on our apparel order form, as well.)
3. When will the practices move to Champion Fields? I don't envision us going to Champion Fields until after spring break. We may even wait until March 22, depending on the date of our first game.
4. Where are you meeting for practice tonight? All practices this week will begin in the U-High gyms. We are discussing changes in the schedule for Wednesday and Friday nights. We will let you know as soon as possible if these changes are made.
5. For the U-High in-town team, we sent in our application early. What should I do to get her on that team or is that something you can do? I will make contact with the people at BNGSA and see if we can't get her preference switched. We are registering with Coach Fritz and listing one other player on the team (Morgan S, Jessica E, Rachel G, Anna F, etc.)
6. When do Spirit wear order forms come out? I will be distributing them at practice tonight . Orders are due to me by 8:00 Friday morning.
7. Physical should be good. Will you check on it for me to make sure? If I have not said anything to your daughter, then she is good to go. As of last night, only 4 players (2 Srs and 2 Jrs)were officially without a physical.
