Welcome to the home of the
Matoaca Indians 10U Fastpitch
|
The season is starting to wind down. We have four games left before the playoffs. Right now, we’re on the verge of making the playoffs – we desperately need a win. To do that we need two things – participation and smart, focused playing. As parents the participation is in your hands. We need as many players as possible at games so we can have the most flexibility and at practices so everyone can be as game ready as possible. The smart, focused playing is up to the girls – as coaches we’ll continue to work on it but it’s ultimately up to them.
If we make the playoffs they’re scheduled to start on June 16th but that could change. I’ll keep everyone posted as we learn more.
The girls have worked very hard this season. We’d like to get them, parents, siblings, etc together after the season is over for some sort of cookout / party. I need a couple of parents to volunteer to coordinate that. If you’re willing to take this on, email me at rkdias@verizon.net
Finally, even though it’s only May, it’s time to start talking about Fall Ball. I would love to get enough girls to have a 10U Fall Ball team. If we don’t have enough, we can still combine with other teams (for Fall Ball the association boundaries are dropped). The fall ball season usually starts the Saturday after labor day and ends no later than October 31. All of the games are on Saturdays and all games are played at Bird Park. Each Sat. we would play two games back to back against the same team with about a 10 minute break in between. Games are 1hr 10 minutes long. There are no playoffs, no standings etc so it’s a good time to work on new skills (like sliding) or changing things (like pitching mechanics) or playing new positions. The girls on our team this year that played Fall Ball in 2007 really benefited from it. I have to have a complete roster turned in no later than August 26, so for now just think about it – it’s a great way to keep honing the skills they’ve developed this season,
