Southridge Softball

We instill in our program that we believe that EVERYONE has a role in making this program successful. We are one program, made up of two teams that compete at levels that give athletes the best opportunity for growth and experience. As we move through our season, there will be many opportunities that will allow us to practice as a program and ensure that all athletes are getting exposure to the highly competitive game. We have talent at all levels and we want to ensure that we provide opportunities for each to showcase their skills and abilities. We will still remain HIGHLY competitive and ensure we are showcasing our very best every game. That said, playing time is earned. Academic Performance, Attitude, Attendance, Consistent Practice, and Game performance; ALL play HUGE factors into playing time.

We are a program of NO DRAMA. Coaches will not tolerate it and nor will our athletes. There will be a shared level of trust, respect and responsibility among us. If these, alongside our 5 non-negotiables are broken, different conversations will be had. 

If a practice is missed with no communication or due to an unexcused absence, the player will not be allowed to play in the following game. If ANY part of school is missed without an excused reason, the player will not be eligible to play in the game. 

Last but not least, Coaches are here to build relationships with their athletes. Conversations regarding schedule/questions/concerns/ideas should start with the athlete and the coach before a parent gets involved. If a solution is not met, the coach and athlete will follow up with a parent meeting. This builds character and leadership in our young athletes and will allow them to be successful after high school softball is over.
