Help from the Sluggers

Posted on February 28, 2020 by sluggerssoftball

Coaches, we know with the season kicking off every team out there is looking for practice spaces. I’m afraid we can’t help you with that.

But, we can give you a little help for when you find a place.

As a favor, we provide links to the USSSA website and rulebook. (check-em out. the links are up-top)
If you go to that rulebook looking for a nice graphic to help you layout a practice field, well, the image in there is not so great. Your going to be disappointed.

So, as a little gift from the Sluggers to you, here is a way better graphic showing an appropriate field layout. There is even a pdf copy. Just in case you want to download and print a paper copy.

I know,

Your welcome.

Posted on February 19, 2020 by Twincorner

Here is the info for this Saturday’s draft. So, if you’re a coach and need some players or if you are a registered player and need a team, you need to be at the fields Sayurday.

It’s going to be cool so bring a sweater along with your glove and cleats.

I know is’t a late notice but there will be a coaches meeting Thursday, Feb. 28th at the Charlie McVay Softball Complex at 6:00pm.

We’ll be handing out team rosters and going over a few other things. Yes, I am leaving a bunch of details out. You’ll have to go to the meeting to find out what they are.

Let’s just say, if you’r a coach, you should probably make sure you have your Coach’s App and Head’s Up Concussion form ready to turn in.
You don’t want to find out what will happen if you don’t have that stuff.

Looks like rain again – cool…

Posted on September 25, 2018 by Twincorner

With all the wet weather we’ve been having the sluggers have been very soggy.  We can’t have that.  No one wants a sad soggy slugger.  So what is a coach to do when the sky starts turning gray just before practice begins?

Ice cream, ice cream is always the answer.
