1. Grades/Eligibility – You must pass 5 classes this semester and 5 classes in the spring. You must also pass 5 classes every week in order to be eligible. If you are failing, you are ineligible for the week even if your grade improves immediately.
2. Physicals – Must have a valid physical in order to participate on day one. Get it taken care of now! You will lose out on valuable practice time if you do not have a physical on file.
3. Throwers – See Coach Kreil to learn about preseason workouts (schedule TBD). There will be tryouts before the season begins; therefore it is highly recommended that you attend these workouts if you’re interested in throwing.
4. Preseason Conditioning workouts are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15 to 4:00pm beginning Tuesday, January 22nd. Bring clothes for inside and outside.
5. Fundraising – We will be selling candy again this year. If you would like to sell yours (or extra) during the offseason, please see me after the Thanksgiving holiday.
