WYSA is looking for a Softball Director for the 2009 season.

The Softball Director oversees the activity of teams in under-10, under-12 and/or under-16 age levels. Responsibilities include recruitment and support of players and coaches; participation in league and WYSA meetings and decision-making; coordinating field maintenance and upkeep with the town Parks and Recreation Dept.; purchase, upkeep and storage of equipment; and communication with parents.

Most importantly, the Softball Director sets the tone that is at the heart of WYSA’s mission: teamwork, participation and fun, and respect for self and others.

The new Softball Director will have the opportunity to revive a program that has sagged because of demographics and flooding that left the softball field unplayable for two years.

If you’re interested, or have any questions, please call Steve varnum at 456-3153 or email to poppabear at tds dot net.

Time: 11-2pm (Sunday June 22nd rain date)

Softball Registration Form

The snow hasn’t yet melted, but we’re preparing for the 2008 softball season.

Warner usually fields teams in the 10-and-under and 12-and-under age divisions of the Kearsarge Mountain South league of Babe Ruth softball. However, because there were so few signups for the 10U team last season, it’s unclear whether we will have enough players for a team in either division this spring.

If your daughter is interested in playing softball in 2008, please (1) let me know as soon as possible by sending an email to poppabear at tds dot net, including your daughter’s name and date of birth and your telephone number and email address and (2) register on or before our sign-up session on Monday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. at Warner Town Hall. The softball registration form can be downloaded here.

If WYSA is unable to field a team in either or both divisions, I will work with the directors of the Bradford and Hopkinton programs to place Warner players with their teams.

Signup Deadline for baseball, softball and spring soccer clinic is March 1, 2008.

If you would like your child to play baseball, softball or participate in the spring soccer clinic, the deadline to submit a registration form along with the fee (made payableto WYSA) is March 1, 2008.

We are often asked why the registration deadline is so early. There are two reasons for this. First, we have to submit our rosters to the league officials for each sport. The second reason is because all of our coaches are volunteers. We need to know how many children would like to play so that we can have enough coaches.

Registration forms will be available on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 on this website, at Simonds School and in local businesses.

If you have questions, we are having a sign-up night on Monday, February 11, 2008 at 7 PM at the Warner Town Hall. You do not have to attend this session to sign up. Simply fill out the registration form, attach the payment and mail it to our PO Box or return it to the WYSA box in the Simonds School main office.

If your child is registered to participate, both you and your child will be expected to attend a mandatory meeting on Monday, April 14, 2008 at 7 PM at the Warner Town Hall.

We are looking forward to another great season of sports.

I created a page called “Board” which lists who all the members are that I know of as of today. Some have not responded yet to Laurie Prewandowski’s email so my list may change. Also I was unsure about titles so I guessed on some. Feel free to let me know if you see a mistake. It’s all very easy to fix.
