Further details for week of May 1-6

Hello parents, this is a reminder that we now are changing over to Hile field starting with tomorrow's practice. Practice times will still be 3:30 -5:30. 

In the event of weather like we are experiencing these past couple of days field condition will play a major part in where we will practice so please give me some grace on that. As of this morning when I left work, Hile field wasn't looking so hot but good news is that it is constantly being worked on to have it ready. 

Today's games vs OV are rescheduled for the 17th. 

Friday's game vs Ludington starts at 3:15 so we can get both games in before our three choir girls need to leave for their performance in Holland. So please if it's not too late go light on food as we won't have the usual time between games to eat.

Saturday, May 6, is the GMAA tournament. It is again in Holton; we play at 9am and 11am. Depending on how we do, the championship game is at 3pm. Please have your daughters there at 8am.

Lots of info thrown at you all; I appreciate all of the support.

Blessings, Coach

Week of May 1-6

Good afternoon parents,

We have a busy week this week and we also switch field locations so here is our week:

Monday vs Manistee @ MCC field. Game time is 4:30 due to Manistee having AP testing

Tuesday vs OV @ Hile field

Wed / Thurs practice @ Hile field

Friday vs Ludington @ Hile field

Saturday is City (GMAA) tournament at MCC field. Don't know game times yet but it's at least a DH for us maybe 3 games depending on how we do. 

Now looking at the forecast...Monday and Tuesday doesn't look good. If it's not raining field condition will determine if we play and where. 

So the girls need to be prepared for indoor / outdoor stuff all week in case we get rained out of games. 

You can pray for the girls that are not feeling well or have sore bodies. 

Blessings, Coach Jeff

Week of April 24-29

This week for WMCC softball:

Home game Monday vs Godwin Hts @ MCC field

Tues/Wed practice at MCC field

Thursday DH @ Ravenna. Just a heads up: we may not have a van for this game. I haven't seen the transportation schedule as of 6:45 pm Sunday.

Really considering taking Friday off as of right now. We are going to have a lot of games the following week. We will have 2 DH back to back at the beginning and end of the week so I want to rest the girls heading into all those games. We may do something as a voluntary on Friday.

Please check the food schedule for these upcoming games starting with tomorrow's games. 

Blessings, Coach Jeff

Manistee rescheduled

Our home game vs. Manistee originally scheduled for this Friday, April 21, has been rescheduled for Monday, May 1.  The game will be played at Muskegon Catholic's field.  Please note this change on your schedules.

Week of April 17-22

Happy Easter everyone,

I hope everybody had a great day with church and family. 

This week is only one DH as of now. We are going to Ludington on Tuesday. Friday's game is going to be rescheduled. As soon as I know the date I will pass it along. 

As far as driving to Ludington, we will meet at the Speedway station on M120 with the school van for everyone that lives north or east of school so the girls won't have to go all the way back to school to get their vehicles. With my truck and the school van we can get everyone including the MCC girls and exchange students if needed. 

Weather looks good until Wednesday and Thursday when there is 40% chance of rain. So those days the girls need to plan for both inside and outside practice. 

I was happy with last weeks games; big difference between Tuesday and Thursday as everyone contributed on Thursday. If we keep that up good things will happen.

That's all for now,

Blessings, 

Coach Jeff

Week of April 10-15

Hello, families.

I hope this finds you all safe and sound after spring break. If you're not home from traveling yet, be safe.

Well, here we go with games.  We have three double headers this week, all away. 

Tues, @ Kent City

Thurs, @ Northpointe

Fri, @ Kellogsville

(Note that Friday is a half day for WMC.  Watch for departure time from school.)

I've asked Brandon Schmitt, Taylor's dad, to help with driving a school van, that, along with my truck should be able to get all the girls to the away games. Sanocki's and Heminger's, please let me know how you want to address the traveling with me so I know everyone is covered.

Monday is calling for rain but 60 degrees as well, so I will make the call via the text alert system if we are inside or out for practice.  If it's a slight drizzle to slightly rainy we will be outside as we still have lots to go over before Tuesday's game. 

Also if you haven't sent $20 to Sherri Bradford-Royle for team food please do so this week. And if you are a family that needs to do take care of the pay to play that needs to be taken care of Monday please. You can either give to me or the school office. 

Blessings, Coach Jeff
