Beware of Tigers
The 10U Havenwood Fierce Tigers had a great year and made it into the Elite Eight. Congratulations to the coaches, players and parents.
2010 Orioles Day
The Orioles got to meet the girls from Havenwood again. Over 200 members of the Havenwood family took part in the event and had a great time. Everyone loved the uniforms and some of the wacky hair styles sported by our girls. The girls were on the Jumbo-Tron no less than 10 times and some were on TV. Oriole Day is a fun day that brings everyone together for a great time and it lived up to that again this year. Great job Havenwood!!!!
George Fox Field #3
George Fox Field #3 was many years in the making and a high priority for me and the rest of the Havenwood Board over the past two years. Most people only see a bunch of dirt on a field. However, I see a lot of hard work raising funds, meeting with county crews and executives and finding sponsors. I also see where everyone banned together to do this during low economic times and still worked hard to raise funds to upgrade the rest of the program. However, what I see most of all is a place where our youngest players can smile, have fun and be proud of playing softball for Havenwood.

Coaching
No person will completely understand the relationships and emotions involved in coaching until they become a coach. The opportunity to work with highly motivated athletes in an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and dependence is unique and priceless. The energy and lifeblood of the team runs through the coach.
The primary role of the coach is to build lifetime character traits in the young people who are in his/her care. Established standards for effort, behavior and character must be continually taught and corrected by coaches.
By helping our young ladies understand the difference between right and wrong behavior and to have the courage to live by those standards, the need to bear down and achieve a goal, to recover from mistakes, to put the team ahead of themselves, to accept correction and discipline, to put their heart in their work, and develop a true confidence, coaching becomes an expression of love.
Everyday in the life of a coach provides a chance to change a life..
Definition of a Softball Player
Softball Player (soft'ball pla er) n. 1. A girl who, once steps onto the
field, is transformed from "daddy's-little-girl" into a fierce, unrelenting competitor who will stop at
nothing in order to win a game. Characteristically with dirt all across her face, ratted sweaty hair,
bloody knees and dirt stained socks and uniform. She is a diligent hard worker who knows the real meaning
of teamwork, spirit, and fearing nothing. Contradictorily, she personifies all of this while she still
wears cute, color coordinated hair ribbons and sleeve straps.
