There are HS teams in So Cal that have been practicing for over a month and have played 3 or 4 games already. Our first game is Nov. 6th in HB. We have not even practiced as a team. Small group practices (infielders or freshman hitting, etc.)I was looking at different California CIF Sections websites to see when practices could start for softball. San Diego Section is Feb 11th and Central Coast Section is usually the last Monday in January. I couldn’t find a start date for practices for the Southern or Northern Sections.
As I said In an earlier post on this thread, Southern Section seems to allow teams to practice more than other sections, but I am surprised to hear there is an expectation for players to stay after practice for extra work for October practices when first contents aren’t to mid-February.
