Daniel Softball Cut Policy

Athletic Skill

	The overall ability to field, throw, and hit the softball
	The ability to run bases effectively
	The ability to play more than one position
	The overall range of motion, speed, and agility
	The overall knowledge of softball situations in areas of hitting, pitching, base running and defense

Attitude/Dedication

	Athletes must be “coachable”. They must demonstrate the ability to listen and follow the instructions of the coach.
	Realizing that softball is a team sport, players must put the team ahead of personal goals and ambitions.
	Dedication to the softball season is important. Job commitments, vacations, trips, etc. should be scheduled so as not to interfere with practices and games.
	Daniel softball players are expected to conduct themselves as model student athletes. Failure to meet disciplinary team rules will result in suspension of game(s) or of the team.
	Daniel softball players are expected to maintain a high academic standard.

Practice Schedule/Tryout Dates

	Varsity tryouts for athletes not participating in winter sports: January 26 – January 30. First cut will be made on that Friday. Athletes will meet with coaches individually to receive information concerning their team status.
	Junior varsity cut dates will be announced during that first week of tryouts.
	Second and possible final cut will be made after winter sports athletes have worked out with the current players.
	A sample “Tryout Evaluation Form” can be found on the back of this sheet.
