šŸš§ Pardon Our Mess, šŸ“† Important Dates, šŸ¤© All-Stars

Hello Noblesville Girls Softball Families!Ā 

Spring season is going to be here in just a couple weeks! šŸ¤— I hope your homes are as excited as mine is for getting out and playing in the dirt.Ā 

We loved seeing all of you (and your kiddos) at the Meet & Greet last night! What a great turnout!

šŸš§šŸ‘·ā€ā™€ļø Pardon Our MessĀ 

As a reminder: just about everything is going to be different this year. We have different fields, different rules, different coaches, different commissioners and different organizational leadership. You could say itā€™s a bit of a transition year.Ā 

Please be patient, considerate, and kind when you encounter the inevitable missed communication or incomplete task. Please offer your coach, commissioner, or board member constructive feedback, and let us know what we missed and where we messed up. We canā€™t fix it if we donā€™t know itā€™s broken!Ā 

šŸ™Thanks in advance for your help and grace! Letā€™s go! šŸ„Ž
