upcoming softball indoor practice sessions and B program assessments

 

 

Hello Lakehill Girls Softball families,

I am writing about our upcoming softball indoor practice sessions and B program assessments. Our record of success at districts and beyond begins each your with our pre-season sessions. These help refine techniques, skills, and abilities and engage the players for the upcoming season.  We hope to see strong participation in pre-season indoor gym practices again for 2018!  
 
Pre-season indoor practices for players interested in getting ready for the season and/or playing B level softball begin in January and run until the March break!  For those of you who have attended these sessions over the years, please note that due to a change in custodian hours we will not be using the Lakehill Elementary School Gym so please see the changes below.  Please attend the pre-season practices for your respective age category:

 Both sessions are at Lakehill Ambassador Park.

Feel free to share this information with your friends and teammates who may be interested in playing with our B program in 2018.


Shortly after these B team commitment sessions we will send out and post information for age division winter off-season indoor practices for 2018.
