2021 Spring Season / Spring Break:
MN High School League (MSHSL) approved the Spring calendar, with a start date of March 29th for Softball -- which is about two weeks later than the normal start date. The current start date also happens to occur at the start of the RPS scheduled Spring Break -- which runs Friday March 26th thru Friday April 2nd.
We will practice during Spring Break, but with a slightly modified schedule. We will start full practice, all levels on Thursday April 1st. We will hold practices and workouts for our 9th grade team players (7th thru 9th grade) starting Monday March 29th. For JV and Varsity players in town, we will also hold optional practices and workouts Mon - Wed.
Please plan any Spring Break travel so that you will be back by and at practice Thurs of Spring Break week. Games will start the first week of April so we need to be practicing and getting ready to hit the ground running. Most importantly, contact the coaches with known Spring Break conflicts asap. Thanks!
Captains for 2021 Season:
Coaches announced captains for next season via a Zoom yesterday. Congrats to the following 2021 Captains and we look forward to their leadership during the next year. They are a great resource for information to all players at all levels:
- Mikayla Gee
- Megan Ihrke
- Abby Miles
Use the link below to see the iScore game information, replay, etc from all JM Softball varsity contests. Generally the scorecast will only be available after the game has completed versus live scoring due to lack of internet connection from the venues. But if we have a live connection you will be able to see live game scoring.
