Volunteers Needed

Volunteers are needed to help work the concession stand during home games held at the East Lansing Varsity Softball Field. Any parent/guardian whose girl plays at the Varsity Field and who is willing to help out needs to contact Ginger Gonzales at gingerangel@earthlink.net

Volunteering to help run the concession stand will help ELASC tremendously as this is the only fund raising opportunity the club has to raise money for the end of the year picnic held at East Lansing's Aquatic Center.

The annual spring skills clinics are winding down. The final clinic will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 PM on Sunday, April 27, at the Varsity Field behind MacDonald Middle School.

These clinics are especially useful for girls who haven't played before and for younger girls (U10 and U12) who want to learn to pitch or want to build on their pitching skills.

All coaches from U10 on up are encouraged to attend the clinics and learn the pitching skills from Coach Greider so you can work with your girls on their pitching during the season.

EL varsity coach Gary Greider will be on hand at most of the clinics to work with pitchers, along with a group of coaches from the summer teams to work on hitting and other skills. The batting cages will be open, so bring your favorite bat if you want to hit. (We'll have some ELASC gear available for use as well.)

Carl Thomas will be organizing additional pitching clinics with Coach Greider for U10 and U12 pitchers in May or June. Please contact Carl if you have any questions or suggestions: phone: 819-1056, e-mail: CarlT104@aol.com.

Get ready for 2008 ELASC summer softball!
