BAT RULE: In the past, -3 and -5 bats have been allowed at some games. However, to be safe, if you are purchasing a bat, it should be a -3. If the umpire enforces the NFHS rule, any bat lighter than a -3 will not be allowed.

Practice will be held over April vacation. You will be expected to attend practice on a day that school is in session over what was originally April vacation. On days when school is not in session during vacation week, the practices are not mandatory. However, you are highly encouraged to attend. The weather in April is unpredictable and many times poor. Each day we can meet as a team is vitally important to our growth as a team. It is important that we make use of the few days we have in the pre-season to get ready for the first game.
Make sure your medical form has been turned in prior to tryouts. No one is allowed to attend tryouts until your medical form has been completed properly and turned in to the nurse.
