South Park Baseball: Coaches Corner
Monday, April 7From Coach Welsh
SP BASEBALL: Coach Corner
1. Academics: The end of the 3rd nine weeks is nearing. Be sure to be
taking care of your academic responsibilities in the classroom.
2. Fields: Please be aware that I am fighting to resolve the issues
with BOTH our field and Evans Field and the lack of maintenance and
cooperation. A 9th Grade game was cancelled last week because
there was nobody from the SP Township to look at Evans. JV played
2 games last week w/o the field being lined or dragged. Be patient while
I'm fighting to resolve this issue for all 3 teams. This is frustrating for all
of us. The field on Saturday was only playable because the coaches
put 6 hours of field work in to get it ready. This is not possible during
the week because the coaches all have jobs.
3. Free Time: The coaching staff is NOT going to tell you what to do in
your free time, but playing pickup games of basketball is NOT recommended
during the season. In fact, highly discouraged by the coaches. You are
jeopardizing your season and your teammates by possibly rolling an ankle
or getting injured. I've seen this happen to players in the past.
Baseball season is very short and a severely sprained ankle could have you out
for 3-4 weeks & the bulk of the season.
