Welcome to our 2010 Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball season! Due a great turn-out at last Saturday's assessment we've nearly matched last years numbers and we're on the verge of creating yet another team in one of our divisions. Here are a few notes and updates from the first few days.
Fields: Due to the wet weather of late, all the fields in Arcata are unusable until at least the week of March 22nd. McKinleyville's Hiller Field is available for practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Board officials are working with the city of Arcata to know as soon as possible when we can get out on the infields. Your coaches will let you know when your practices are able to begin.
Coaches' note: There's a link on the right side of this page to the practice field schedule for the next 3 weeks. Please contact Jeff at 845-0106 or coachjeff14@sbcglobal.net to reserve your practice field and time. We may end up sharing field times with each other, at least until the weather clears up a bit.
New dates for the season's start and the Jamboree: Thanks again to the rain, we've decided to push the start of the season back to Monday, April 12th. Games will begin in earnest that week. We will hold our traditional season-opening Jamboree and take our team pictures on Saturday, April 17th.
New players = More teams: We can still accept late registrations (again, thanks to the rain) for girls wanting to play this season. Currently, we have 3 teams in each of our 4 divisions. We are very close to creating 4th team in our 12 & Under division. If you know of girls who want to play but didn't get the chance to sign-up, tell them to contact us at 822-3575 or email us at: madrivergirlssoftball.org. (3/25 update: The 10 & Under and 12 & Under divisions are full at this time. We may still have room for additional 8 & Under or 16 & Under players. Contact us at 822-3575 for more information. Thanks!)
Haven't heard from your coach? Have no fear...that call is on the way. Several of our coaches are waiting to hear about practice field availability so they can give the best information to parents and players. You should be hearing from your coach this week. If you haven't heard by Friday, please call (822-3575) or email us at madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com to find out how to contact your coach.
We're still looking for league sponsors for this season. If you know of an individual or a local business that would like to help us in creating and rewarding and fun softball season, we invite you download a copy of our sponsorship form and contact the league office. Thank you for your help in soliciting and supporting our local sponsors.
Feel free to contact us with any questions now or during the season. Our email address is madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com, or call the hotline at 822-3575.
