Freshman Baseball Update

I've received many questions regarding freshman baseball practice.  Freshman have the opportunity to practice on a volunteer basis this Monday.  Since we don't have school due to the holiday and transportation being a possible issue with the freshman they have the option to attend one of the practice sessions on Monday. We have two sessions scheduled; 12:00-2:00 Sophomore and 2:00-4:00 for JR/SR.  The Freshman will be off on Tuesday but will have practice on Wednesday (3:00-4:30) and Thursday (3:00-5:30).  Please keep in mind that you must complete your winter sports season before you are permitted to attend a baseball practice.  

Be sure to check the calendar at the bottom of this page for times and locations of practice.

Practice Begins Monday February 20th

Baseball practice officially begins in less than a week.  The OHSAA has made a rule change that eliminates the first two weeks of practice for just pitchers and catchers .  The new rule states that on February 20th practice starts for all players.  Keep in mind that if you are currently participating in a winter sport you cannot practice baseball until your season has finished.  

Our practice schedule is set  with all sophomores attending from 12:00-2:00.  The junior and senior players will practice from 2:00-4:00.  Freshman are encouraged to attend if possible and may choose either session to practice. Player's should arrive early and be prepared with all baseball gear for indoor practice.   The remaining week's schedule has been updated on the calendar at the bottom of the page.
