Spring sports are forming their teams and athletes are preparing for the coming season.

The softball teams have just come together and are staring to practice. There are two teams, Varsity and JV. With a new coach the work outs and practices have changed a little from the previous season.

The schedule consists of morning weight lifting on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:55 a.m to 6:50 a.m. Monday through Friday the teams work out from 2:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. This takes a lot of dedication from the players and coaches.

“I do not like morning practice but I know it helps the team get better so I am fine with it,” said Hannah Young, 9.

The teams split the practice in half by having the JV team start with hitting and the varsity in the main gym, then half way through practice they switch. This gives both teams equal time to improve.

“All sports take time and dedication but it’s all worth it when the bonds of a team start to grow and bring everyone together,” said Liz Izworski, 9.

Even thought the season has just started the players are excited to get ready for games, which is what practice is all about.

About the Contributor
Hannah Frey, Leaflet Editor in Chief
My name is Hannah Frey and this is my fourth year being a part of the Leaf staff. I joined the Leaf because I wanted to expand my involvement in the SHS community and I wanted to learn more about graphic design. I am passionate about social equality and the social injustices that occur in our affluent society. Being in this class has helped me to see that I want to work for a nonprofit organization and help solve these problems. I am currently the editor and chief of the Leaflet, which is our online, design-based magazine. Every issue, I pick a new topic to be covered. Using design to cover these issues attracts another audience for the Leaf and makes it entertaining to have an in-depth look about a topic. Journalism has helped shape the person I am today, and it will help me excel in my desired field of work.
