Softball Committee General Info

What we plan to do:
-Meet monthly, unless otherwise agreed upon due tourney schedules (i.e. – late June, July)
-Make decisions regarding registrations, fees, uniforms, equipment, teams, practice schedules, tryouts
-Schedule and track field preppers and umps, working with the district office for payment
-Design and choose uniforms, coordinate with and order from Chippewa Valley Sporting Goods
-Create spring ball and fall ball registrations
-Schedule and plan open gym
-Plan and hold assessments for spring ball
-Attend Tri County league or  in-house league meetings, sharing info with our coaches at committee meetings
-Register teams within each league and arrange payment to leagues and tourneys
-Inventory equipment and hand out
-Order equipment
-Plan and facilitate fundraising and concessions


Current Committee Roles

• Softball Director Chad Goetsch
• Rec Board Ex Officio Emily Goetsch
• Equipment Coordinator  
• Umpire Coordinator
• Concession Coordinator  
   

Current Volunteer Opportunities

• Field Maintenance Coordinator(s) – chalk and rake fields for games or find someone to do it, evaluate which fields need TLC, share with committee or rec board, confirm each field has porta potty, mow if needed (rare)
• Promotor(s) – have an info table at school open houses, school carnivals, parades, other events to encourage kids to play/parents to sign up, print and hand out flyers, answer questions and create ways to promote softball at school
   

Most of these could be done with two people if it feels overwhelming to do alone. We feel the softball program would drastically improve if these duties were shared among new committee members, rather than one person splitting their focus on so many different tasks. We will absolutely support whoever takes on these roles.
