2013 Season Update & News!!!

Our Mad River-Humboldt Fastpitch Softball Organization hosted its annual coaches meeting on Tuesday night, March 26th. The turnout from coaches from across the wide geographic region covered by Humboldt Fastpitch was excellent! THANK YOU COACHES! Placement of players and coaches to teams were distributed and all players/parents should be receiving a phone call from their assigned coach within the next couple of days. In addition, we'vee asked all coaches to hold a Team parent meeting to facilitate exchange of information regarding the upcoming season. We encourage ALL parents to attend this important meeting with your respective coaches. And the great news is...  fields are in excellent condition and practices will start very soon!

We want to remind returning parents and players and encourage those new to our organization that the Mad River - Humboldt Fastpitch Organization does much of our communication via email and facebook. If you are not already a facebook friend, consider becoming one at:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/HumboldtFastpitchSoftball/.  If you are not receiving emails from Humboldtfastpitch@gmail.com, its either because our emails are being redirected to your spam folder, we have an incorrect email address for you, or you have yet to be added to our email list.  Please check your spam folder for Humboldt Fastpitch emails and if found, unblock us.  Otherwise, send us an email at the address above and we will add you to our communications list - and please specify if your interest is in the Recreation or Travel Program or both!  

Want to be "STYLIN"  on the field this season while at the same time supporting girls fastpitch in our local communities?  We have some exciting new spirit wear that reflect the change that is occurring within the Mad River - Humboldt Fastpitch Organization!  Use these links to download the PRE-ORDER FORMS for the Humbolt Fastpitch Sweatshirt pictured below and a Humboldt Fastpitch earwarmer...  a very handy item for our chilly Humboldt County climate! Completed order forms can be turned in to any coach, regional rep, or board member. We would like to collect orders by April 15th, 2013.

Also we are IN NEED AND ACTIVELY SEEKING VOLUNTEERS to take leadership roles in various capacities, including running the different snack bars, managing and maintaining equipment, field prep, and more! If any of you are interested in helping, PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP!

We also want to remind players that Fortuna High School is hosting a Softball Clinic April 1st-April 4th, 2013. Please note that all players are welcome! Hopefully ride-share options are available for our Northern and Eastern players who would like to attend!

Have a great day and get ready to PLAY BALL!
