We have structured skills development sessions before the games. We will also be helping the coaches with instructions on which drills to use. (Although not required, coaches can also hold additional practices.)
Rules and Recommendations
Please visit applicable grade page for printable pdf of current rules and reccomendations.
Other Info
It is extremely important to have a dedicated coach or parent constantly monitor the "Strike Zone" batting device. (This is the softball on a rope device.) Siblings should not use and need to be kept away from the Strike Zone.

Pre-game Skills Sessions (click on skills and drills pdf for details)
Before every game for grades K-8 we will be holding a skills session. The purpose of this session is to improve skills development and make scheduling easier for coaches and parents. Coaches may but are not required to schedule additional practice time.

Division Skills Time Game Time
K-1 30 minutes 40 minutes
2nd and 3rd Grade 30 minutes 40 minutes
4th and 5th Grade 30 minutes 50 minutes

Rain-out?
Remind your parents to call the Weather Line if it looks like rain. The Weather Line is updated until 4:30 daily. If the weather turns bad after 4:30, coaches are encouraged to contact the grade rep and/or the other coach to determine if the game should be cancelled. If the game is cancelled late, the coach will then need to contact all of the team parents. Occassionally, the game will have to be cancelled at the field.
Weather Line .........................................952-826-0368
Games are to be played in light and moderate rain. Upon seeing lightning, games are to be cancelled immediately.
Make-Up Games
Coaches please coordinate make-up times for rained out games. Call grade rep with time and they schedule a field for you with the city.
