Softball 2008
Over 250 girls are set to play the great sport of
softball in the LUYAA program. This spring, the LUYAA intramural
program will have four teams in the 8 and under division (8U) and five
teams in 10U and 12U. And for the first time in a long time, LUYAA will
have a complete travel program with four 15U teams, a 12U and a 10U team
all vying for Frederick County Girls Softball League titles.
The growth of the program has created even greater
demand on the few fields softball has access to. Activity for the 10U,
12U and 15Us will be focused at Windsor Knolls Middle School while the
8Us will practice and play entirely at Green Valley Elementary. Teams
will also be using New Market Middle School field and field #3 at Utica
Park. The softball committee has been hard at work preparing and
improving these fields for the 2008 season. Please help maintain these
fine conditions by helping prepare the fields for games and filling in
holes at the batters box and pitching rubber after games and practices.
Watch the website to keep abreast of
updated scheduling and other news throughout the season. We’ve already
held and scheduled several clinics.
Practices are underway and the season is set to
start April 19th. We’ll be playing ball every day, so please come out
and join the fun. The spring session will wrap up by the time summer
break comes, but we still plan to hold extended season activity for the
die-hards.
Whether you know anything about softball or
not, every parent can help make this season a huge success. It starts
with bringing your child to practice or games on time, properly clothed,
and with water or sports drink. Coaches usually want kids arriving at
the field 30 minutes before game time. If your child cannot attend a
particular game, let the coach know. Our coaches will also need your
help during practice and games with a variety of things. Please ask
your coach how you can help with the team.
We cannot thank our sponsors enough for their
contributions to the 2008 program. Without these folks’ support, we
would not be able to provide the new equipment and fine field conditions
we have in the last couple years.
Be sure to patronize our sponsors and personally
thank them for their support. Now, let’s “Play Ball!”
Introduce yourself and explain your association with LUYAA softball.
Explain that LUYAA has 150-200 local girls playing softball and
sponsors' donations are used to buy new equipment and maintain the fields.
Show them the form and explain that there are options starting as low
as
$75 and that we
accept donated goods. Ask if they have any questions.
If they do not open their checkbook right then, ask them to think
about what would be best for them and tell them that you will return in a
few days to see what they have decided.
Follow up in a few days.
