COACHES MEETING FOR THE 2017 SOFTBALL SEASON – The UAW Softball Co-Ed League
is scheduled to start tentatively June 18. We need to see how many teams (UAW
862 Members only) are interested in playing this year. There will be a Coaches
Meeting Sunday May 7, 2017 starting at 3:00 pm at the LAP Union Hall Gym (Fern
Valley Road). Please bring your tentative rosters. You must have a preliminary
roster (max 15 players and 3 reserves) with you at the meeting. This is so we
can see how many teams are interested. All players must be UAW Local 862 members
in good standing. Official rosters must be set prior to the second game. No
exceptions! You may want to combine teams at this meeting. Please have your $150
forfeit fee; cash due two weeks prior to start of season (approximately June
18). Each forfeit costs your team $75. After the second forfeit your team is
out of the league. If your team has no forfeits then money will be refunded at
the end of the season. The coach or a representative must be present at the
meeting. If you are a player without a team, please show up to this meeting to
meet coaches who may need players. If you cannot make the meeting, or have
questions, then please contact Jay Henry, Recreation Chair, at
jayhenry18@gmail.com prior to the meeting with the above information.
