Want to receive instruction from University, Professional and National team players as well as Dave Paetkau, Assistant Coach of the Team Canada Women's Softball team? Or just want to stay in softball shape in the off season? The Yale Secondary Softball Academy just might be the thing for you! We will be hosting an Open House for any softball players grades 8-11 at the Yale Gym Saturday January 28th from 1-3:30.  Parents can come along with the athletes to see what our program is all about as the girls go through a day at the Yale Softball Academy training session. There will also be a school tour and parent information session discussing things such as plans for next year, what we are all about, academic expectations, transportation and cross catchment enrollment and how your daughter can become a part of our academy.  The instructors will be there as well as the Academy directors to answer any questions you may have.  Please bring clean runners, water and your softball equipment. Any questions can be directed to Jen Schreyer at jschreyer@sd34.bc.ca.  Hope to see you there!
