Pitchers and Catchers report

Well, we had a great practice last Friday at Central Park. We have some good hitting talent on the team. Karen, Reshma, Sapna, JR, Ashok, and Manish are new additions to our team this year and promise to be keepers!!

Hopefully, at our next practice we'll talk about the rules and work on some fielding, too. Since our first game will be on Friday, June 22nd - we have 5 weeks to practice.

I'd like to have two practices/week until June 17th. Therefore, we will be meeting on Wednesdays (at 6:00 PM) and Sundays (5:00 PM) going forward. After the season starts, we can settle on Sundays (most likely). Let's plan on Central Park in Santa Clara. Link is below: (http://www.ci.santa-clara.ca.us/park_recreation/pr_central.html)


Go Nationals!!

We'll look to finish up by 11:00 or so. We can talk about the rest of the practice schedule on Saturday. Please bring your gloves since we'll be testing our arms and fielding skills.
