Tryouts for the Lee's Summit West Softball program will begin
Monday, August 12th. All practices are scheduled at the LSW softball complex
unless otherwise noted. Please bring your glove, shoes (both softball and
running), water bottle, and any other equipment you need to play the game. We
suggest you wear pants as sliding may be one of the areas we evaluate. You must
also have a current physical on file to try out. You will not be permitted to try out until a current physical is on
file in the Athletic Office. All physicals need to be turned in to Monte
Seabaugh, the athletic secretary, prior to the first day and not handed in to your coach.
Tryout Structure: We will test our student athletes on various
softball skills including but not limited to: throwing, fielding both ground
and fly balls, hitting, bunting, slapping, base-running, sliding and cut-offs.
We also measure individual athleticism in the form of a sprints, sit-ups,
push-ups, times from contact to 1st base, 1st to 3rd, and 1st to 2nd on a
steal. We will also evaluate our student athletes on effort, coach-ability,
academic progress, and citizenship.
