Scheduling

Schedule

We give our players a calendar so they can plan ahead and have a general idea of their next 5 months

Plans change and scheduling conflicts arise, we make a point to send out updated schedules at the beginning of each week

Here is a taste of what a Division I softball athlete's schedule looks like
