Pre-Season Meeting 2010

This morning I went to our pre-season meeting. It was only a half an hour. I was kinda disappointed in the lack of last seasons players showing up. I heard one might do track, which is really upsetting because Mr. Henry takes all of our good athletes and ruins them in track. I also heard that one might not turn out this year because she doesn't want to wear an infield mask. We implemented this idea to cut down on errors because of how dangerous the composite bats are now. If I were playing now I'd so wear the masks.

Last week I found out that one of our players actually put herself in a institution last semester because she thought she was crazy. She got behind in her school work and opted to be home schooled because she would not be able to play softball without being on academic probation. Being home schooled you can do the barest minimum and still get to play in a school sport. I don't really agree with that. If you can't keep the grades up in the first place school or home schooled, you shouldn't get to participate in any activities or sports.

It just keeps getting better and better doesn't it? I wonder what kind of stories I'll have once the season starts up?
