Thank you for RSVP'ing.  Below is additional logistical information regarding the event. We look forward to working with your daughter on Saturday.

The Texas Stix Softball Clinic will be held this Saturday, March 13th from 9:00-Noon - {registration begins at 8:30 a.m. - across from Field 9, near the concessions}. Instructors for the clinic are Coach Mark Short and Coach Jeff Staton, along with some of the Texas Stix GOLD level [18U] players that are currently playing High School softball.

The event will be held at the Town and Country Sports Complex. If you are new to T&C, a map of the area can be viewed by clicking on the following link: http://www.tandcsports.org/documents/TC_FieldsMap02_27_08.pdf. The event will take place on the Softball fields which are field numbers 8 and 9.

Safety/Food/Drinks: Please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.We strongly recommend that all participants bring a water bottle or thermos (1 to 2 qt) with them during the clinic, along with a healthy snack if needed. There are scheduled breaks throughout the event, but they will need to be constantly drinking as they move between drills and activities. Also remember sunscreen, and a hat or visor. Sunglasses are also recommended.

Spectating: Parents and siblings can watch the activities from outside the fences around the fields. There are covered bleachers on both fields, but you may want to bring your own folding chairs. We are limiting on-field personnel to the instructors and helpers.

Equipment: The girls should wear cleats if they have them. If not, wear comfortable athletic shoes with a tread. Some girls may be wearing softball socks and shin guards. Each participant will need their own glove. We strongly recommend each participant bring their own batting helmet (with face mask), we will have a few from the equipment cage for those that don't have their own. Each participant should bring their own bat if they have one, but there will be plenty to share. If you have not bought a bat yet, do not purchase one for this clinic. Wait to talk to a coach about the proper length and weight for your daughter. Make sure all of your belongings are labeled.

The Spring Season (generally March through May with registration beginning in January) is generally more competitive with up to 4 outings (games and/or practices) per week. More emphasis is placed on skills development and winning; though, fun is important also.
