Skylands Pride Q&A 

What do we do if our daughter is interested?

·        Send an email direct to the coach indicating your interest. Include your daughter’s name, birth date and softball experience

 Who are the Coaches?

·         10U is Deb Nolan - deb.nolan@comcast.net

·     12U is Chuck Many - cmany@nac.net

·     14U is Dan Arthur - darthur@pjpolke.com

 What are the age requirements?

·         A player’s age as of December 31 determines the age in which the player is eligible to play the following year.

 Does everyone who comes out make the team?

·         No – Rosters typically consist of 12-13 players

 Are there tryouts? How is it determined who makes the team?

·        Versus using 1 or 2 tryouts to determine who makes the team, the coaches will assess the girls from now until approximately the end  of April. They will use what they see at the indoor clinics, any travel team practices and their performance & aptitude in the Skylands Spring Season to determine who makes the team(s).

 Will there be more than 1 team within an age group?

·       It is possible, but not confirmed, that there may be more than 1 team within a given division. This is common in some of the larger surrounding townships where they have 2 or more teams in a single age division – one being more senior than the other. For us it will depend upon the number of girls who tryout and whether we can build an infrastructure of coaches to run a 2nd team.

 When will the teams be formed?

·       We expect the teams to be announced in early May

 Is it already determined who is on the teams?

·       Not entirely  - there are returning travel team players that are very likely to be on the team but each Mgr will make the final determination as to their roster.  

 What is the commitment level?

·         http://skylandsgirlsfastpitch.com/travel/travel.htm

 Is there additional cost to be on a travel team?

·       Yes  – Each Mgr will determine the budget and final cost per player per team.

 

If you're interested in playing on one of The Pride teams please email the coaches listed above or call 908-894-5445.
