Midweek message

Good afternoon parents,

With having 19 girls on the team it's very hard to get playing time for everyone. Please know that it pains me to not be able to get them all in more frequently. 

I have been asking for 2-4 JV games to get playing time for the underclassmen. We are waiting to hear back from some schools hopefully yet this week.

I still have to be careful to not add too many games as it is a very good possibility that we could play a double header at Norte Dame stadium and that there is a game limit that I have to make sure we don't go over.

Thank you for your patience.

Blessings, Coach

Week at a Glance - April 25-April 29

The weather looks a little iffy this week.

On practice days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday), be prepared for both indoor and outdoor practices.

Scheduled games this week:

Tuesday @ Spring Lake (doubleheader) 4:00
Friday home vs Fremont (at MCC - doubleheader) 4:00

On Tuesday, WMC students have early dismissal (no school for seniors).  All players: Please meet at Spring Lake High School at 3:00 for our pre-game warmup.  If the game is cancelled due to weather, we will send out a text alert and there will be NO practice.

Please note that the softball field is behind the school on the east side of the building.  Please use the high school entrance off Leonard Road, not the entrance off 148th Avenue.

Blessings,
Coach

The following information is from Mikahla Koehler and her mom, Maria Secord.

MiKahla is working on a fundraiser for the group she volunteers for.  She has already completed her Senior Service Project but continues to volunteer as time and schedule permits.  This Friday MCC is earning a dress down day if they bring in 2 items on the list but I thought I would send this out to you coaches to see if the team would like to get involved.    I've attached the flyer.

I could not attach the flyer; however, the content (minus the pictures) is pasted below.

 Help Me Help Heaven Can Wait
For my Senior Service Project I chose to work with Heaven Can Wait who fosters and adopts out cats and kittens. Every Saturday and Sunday this great group of volunteers can be found at Petco hoping to find homes for their foster kitties. All cats and kittens are fostered in private homes. We are now approaching “kitten season.” During my spring break, my family took in a pregnant cat and her kittens. They needed and continue to need round the clock care. We currently have numerous cats and kittens in foster and the numbers are rapidly growing. Please help by donating any of the items on the wish list! Any student who brings in 2 items gets a dress down day Friday April 22nd! Thank you for your help!

-Wet Cat Food
-Kitten Food (Purina Brands, Rachel Ray)

Week at a glance - April 18-23

Here's the plan for the week...

Monday / Wednesday, practice at MCC 3:30-5:30

Tuesday, game @ Ludington, early dismissal at 2 pm leave at 2:15.  Coach Jeff is looking into some transportation options as we do not have a school van available.  If we need parent help with driving, we will let you know.

Thursday, home game vs OV.  I believe game time is 4pm

Friday, no practice

Saturday games

Good evening parents,

Saturday's games are at 11am and 1 pm at Davenport University. This is a beautiful facility to play at; we are blessed to be able to play there this year. 

Directions: 

I-96 east to US -131 south to M-6,
M-6 east to Beltline (M37); take Beltline south to 68th street,
Go east on 68th for about a mile,
The facility will be on the left.

The address that came thru Mr. VandenBrand's WMC sports emails is for the college itself I believe. I got the above directions from Davenport's website. 

Please be there at 9:45 am as I'm not sure how to get into the field.  We will be in the third base dugout I believe also. 

Any questions please contact me.

Blessings, Coach

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope that you had a relaxing spring break wherever you were.

This week starts out wet and cold so be prepared for both indoor and outdoor practice for Monday and Tuesday at MCC. Wednesday looks pretty good for being outside, also at MCC.  All practices will be from 3:30-5:30.

Double header Thursday AT Godwin Heights (US-131 and 36th Street).

Plan on practice on Friday from 3:30-5:00 at MCC.

Saturday is our round robin at Davenport University with Traverse City St. Francis and Traverse City Central.  More details on times will be coming later for this.

Blessings, Coach
