OUR COACHES

WE WORK

Here is the truth about Coaches who use the words “COLLEGE EXPOSURE”....it’s overused and a poor reason to choose a team. Not to mention it’s false and no coach should ever use it as a tactic to lure players! If you want COLLEGE EXPOSURE make a great skills video and combine it with a thorough players resume and send it with your upcoming schedule to the College you want to go to. It is YOUR JOB (not your parents)!

WE BELIEVE IN:

WE SUPPORT BEING WELL ROUNDED!

WE HONOR THE GAME!

We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges.

FALL BALL

• Tentatively we will be playing Sunday DH for Fall Ball as close to Springfield as possible. Everything is depended on current covid19 restrictions and OSAA Guidelines.
• Practices will be twice a week 4-6 pm at Bob Keefer Turf Fields or Maple Elementary. Usually they are at Thurston High School Varsity/JV Softball Fields.
• Winter workouts will be dependent on covid19 and OSAA Rules. Typically 2-3 times a week for 2 hours in length.

We plan on starting Summerball tourneys the 2nd or 3rd weekend of June and finish summer the last week of July. 3-4 Tourneys plus multiple weeknight DH’S home/away. 2-3 practices per week depending on game schedule. Usually 530-730, with optional extra work for earlybirds.

“The minute you get away from FUNDAMENTALS- whether it’s proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation- the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you’re doing.” Michael Jordan

This is why we pick developmental teams instead of teams that worry about winning. I’d rather watch kids get better day in and day out then win all the time and not develop in the game.

Hats: $12, SS T’s $6, LS T’s $10
