• Newly updated as of July 15th, 2024

    Welcome to the Norterra Canyon softball page. As the 24-25 school year progresses, this page will be updated as needed. The regular season schedule is posted below.

    This year, softball is once again in the DV sports division known as 1A, and we share this division with 6 other schools…Sunset Ridge, Union Park, Paseo Hills, Inspiration Mountain, Anthem, and Desert Mountain.

    Our coach... 

    As many have known for a while, our new coach this year will be Dale LeBlanc. He is an NC parent, and is excited to take the helm.

    Tryouts, practices, and games :

    For softball tryouts, Coach LeBlanc would like to evaluate all interested 8th grade girls only on Monday the 12th, and all interested 6th/7th grade girls only on Tuesday the 13th.

    Both of these sessions will be from 6:45 am - 7:55 am.

    Softballers should also plan on attending drills in the MPR after school on Wed (from 3:10 - 4:55).

    The morning tryouts will be on the softball field.

     

    • Practices are typically every Mon – Thur from 3:10 to 4:45 (except for game days of course).
    • All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are eligible to try out, but roster spots are reserved for 7th and 8th graders initially. NC allows for the potential use of 6th graders if and when a full and effective team cannot be fielded using only 7th and 8th graders.
    • Athletes should wear durable but light athletic gear for baseball tryouts, and should avoid spending a lot of money on cleets and gloves until they can be sure they are on the team.
    • If an athlete does not have a glove to use for tryouts, AD Harder can arrange one for them.
    • Games (home and away) will usually start around 4:00.
    • A specific game schedule will be added soon, but know that while the first 2 games are currently scheduled for Tues, Sep 3rd and Thur, Sep 5th, most games from there out will be on Mondays and Wednesdays.
    • All away games will be parent drop-off…since bus transportation to most after-school activities has become very hard to schedule.
    • Your athlete can bring an individual post-school snack, but the cafeteria may be planning on providing post-school snacks for athletes. There are also often parents of players who will offer to provide snacks for certain individual sporting events.
    • Grades are checked weekly by the Athletic Office to ensure academic eligibility.
    • Student-Athletes who do not meet eligibility requirements by the end of the week (Friday @ 3pm) are disqualified from all inter-school competition for the following week.
    • Parents are encouraged to track their child’s academic progress.
    • If a physical and/or athletic fee is still missing once the season officially starts, the student will have to forego game participation.

    Some rules for speaking with coaches…

    • Coaches have 24 hours to process the results of a game and then initiate communication with their players (好色导航policy)
    • Please consider how you interact with a coach outside of the campus footprint (common courtesy).

     

    As with any sport, students need to have a current physical on file in order to tryout for softball.
