SVLA Parents and Players,

To all of those who made the meeting on Sept. 13, 2011, thank you for attending. For those of you who didn't there was some very important information that was handed out that is posted on the website that all players must read, we encourage parents to read that information as well.

What to reference:
1. The rules and information document for HS Fall Ball (Rules Document)
2. The Fall Ball Workout and Goal Setting document for HS Fall Ball (Workout Document)

Things to do prior to Fall Ball:
1. We intend on conditioning in the fall so please follow the work out the next few weeks     leading up to the first practice (Workout and Goal Setting document).
2. We will be collecting Goal Setting activities the first day of practice! YOU MUST HAVE     THESE DONE AND HANDED IN.
3. Understand the rules going into fall so there are no issues with players being dismissed     from practice for not being able to follow the rules we have set and communicated to     everyone.

The Seniors have asked that every participating player for fall ball be dressed and ready for practice at 4:45pm on October 3rd so they can address the team with their expectations! We appreciate your cooperation.

As a coaching staff we are really looking forward to getting Fall Ball started! We do want to avoid any grey area on what needs to be done in order to make this a very successful fall and spring season from an organizational standpoint, team standpoint, and individual standpoint.

PLEASE FULLY READ THE DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ON THE WEBSITE!
