February 2010 Coaches Meeting

UPDATE: As of 1pm tonight's meeting is still on, and will begin as scheduled at 7pm.

Welcome to the Manassas Church Softball League 2010 season! The first coaches meeting will be held Monday, February 15 at Manassas Assembly of God Church in Bristow. Look for us in room 225/226.

Coaches will be contacted via email by January 20 with a meeting agenda and to collect updated contact information. A league fee estimate will also be provided. If you are not contacted or have other questions, email Fred Lewis at mcsl@comcast.net.

On the agenda for this first meeting:

$150 non-refundable deposit is due.
Election of officers.
Discussion of proposed rule changes.
Preliminary division layouts.

More upcoming dates for your calendar: A second coaches meeting will be held Monday, March 15th. League play will start the week of April 19th. Team practices will be scheduled starting April 2-16. The Early Bird Tournament for church division will be April 16 and 17.

Several ASA rule changes have been enacted for 2010. Yellow softballs only. Teams with white will be able to use what you have, but new purchases will be yellow only. To the dismay of pitchers nationwide, the maximum pitching arc has been reduced to 10 feet (from 12).

Crystal Terrant has resigned her position as league president. Fred Lewis will assume that role between now and the coaches meetings where nominations and voting for permanent officer positions will be held per league bylaws. Volunteers are always needed and welcome! If we don't have a position that fits your specific skill we'll make one for you. Joe Sak has taken over the league scheduler position from Luke Croushorn. Many thanks for their long hours and commitment to making MCSL succeed and grow to the largest adult softball organization in PWC.
