Softball is harder than Baseball

Here's an interesting video I found that scientifically proves that it's harder to hit a softball than it is to hit a baseball. Just an interesting fact to throw in baseball's face :D

Thank you seniors for 2008!!!

"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."--John Wooden(Won 10 Championships as the UCLA basketball coach )

A word to the wise; every endeavor in life is a learning experience, and this softball season was no different. I would like to send a special message to those players not returning next year. To all of you, we say thank you...thank you for your all!!! We hope to see you on the softball field next year, but this time as coaches.


For those returning, be ready!!! Tentatively, next seasons try-outs will be held Thursday, September 11, 2008, on the upper field.


Be a Beast!!! Go Wildcats!!!

There will be after school practice everyday. We are only a couple weeks away from our first pre-season game and there's no time to waste. So be there on time everyday and ready to practice!
If you don't see us on the field after school, look for us in the batting cages!


Reminder: We have an Alumni game Feb. 16th and a scrimmage on Feb. 21st.

We are also looking for parent, or older siblings to volunteer to help with a snack stand at games when the season starts. If you're parent(s)/sibling are interested in supporting the team let one of the coaches know. ☺

Sponsorship Money

Season Begins February 25, 2008

There are a few players that still have not turned in sponsorships. The deadline was January 11th, 2008. For some reason some of you think that we have forgotten about this...You are responsible to communicate with the coaches about any problems you may be having with this project.

If you do not resolve this issue immediately, you will not be enrolled in Spring Softball during 6th period and you may want to start thinking about next year's try out.

Sponsorships will be due on February 11, 2008....FINAL DEADLINE!
