The Board has decided to hold tryouts for all 16Us next spring as we have in the past. The Board this year tried to act upon suggestions by members to get our girls playing as a team earlier in the season as some of our neighboring communities do. Our families value multi-sport athletes which the Board also endorses. Given that, our girls simply are not available in the fall and winter to pursue softball at the rigorous level some parents suggested. The Board believes this is a decision that will best serve the most girls.
