1-LESSON REQUIREMENTS

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR CF LESSONS:

1. Glove and/or catchers mitt.
2. Cleats and/or tennis shoes.
3. A catcher- someone to catch you.
4. Bucket for equipment and catcher to sit on.
5. Fluids and/or snacks. Ice if it is hot: Gatorade or other comparable sports drinks and/or fruits and fruit juices for hot conditions.
6. Proper clothing. Dress like a student athlete. In cooler weather bring too much clothing and in warmer weather be prepared to go to shorts and short sleeves if needed. Under armor is a great idea for in climate weather.
7. Medications for whatever problems you might encounter. Headache tablets etc.
8. Adult supervision during the lesson, or at least access to a cell phone, in case of an emergency.
9. Positive attitude: Come to the lesson willing to learn and practice. Negative remarks, feelings, etc, should be shed before stepping foot on the softball field. The athlete should not make any negative remarks toward anyone else. Others with you should be willing to let the instructor(s) do all of the teaching. They should let the athlete concentrate on what she is being taught. The instructor has an agenda and coaching remark from others can and will damage progress. Adults are encouraged to generate positive compliments on occasion and to ch ear the athlete on. Short spurts of conversation on subjects other than softball should be held to a minimum at the very most, and be non existent at best. Occasional humor is usually a good thing. Athletes who are chit- chatting for more than a few seconds at lessons will be required to focus only on pitching in the future. No horseplay is allowed.
10. Payment on time, please! It is best to pay before the lessons and just before the month they are due.
