Game Day Reminders for Soccer:
1. Soccer Central does not have bathrooms, porta-potties are available.
2. All facilities are still under construction therefore OFF LIMITS. Persons found violating this, or entering roped off areas, will be immediately escorted off the grounds, and banned for the remainder of the season.
3. There are no benches, please bring a chair to sit.
4. No parents or spectators are allowed on the field at any time. They must remain behind the fence.
5. Thank you so much for adhering to these guidelines so we may offer a safe and enjoyable experience to our athletes and to you!
6. As a reminder: all students must be dropped off/picked up, and cars must park in the parking lot. The dirt path before you enter Soccer Central is not meant for traffic.
Baseball:
We have had a GREAT turnout and are so excited to be starting up this new sport. We have just enough boys to make a team, however, after special consideration of the age ranges and skill level, we have decided to not have a competitive baseball team this year. We have instead turned baseball into a guild for this school year. Our goal is to field a Middle and High school team next year. This guild will be open to 5th – 9th grade scholars. The guild will start in April and in May, to allow time for our scholars who are participating in other sports to still get to experience baseball. The cost to be apart of the guild will be $50 and that is to offset the cost of the field rental at Garza Park.
To register your son for the baseball guild please see the following configio link: https://greatheartswesternhills.configio.com/pd/832/22-23-baseball-guild?returncom=productlist&source=search
The schedule for baseball guild practices is as follows:
Sat 4/1/23 – 9 am – 11 am
Sat 4/8/23 – No Practice
Sat 4/15/23 – 9 am – 11 am
Sat 4/22/23 – 9 am – 11 am
Sat 4/29/23 – 9 am – 11 am
Sat 5/6/23 – 9 am – 11 am
Sat 5/13/26 – 9 am – 11 am

Athletics Celebration:
Parents, if you had a scholar participate in a Middle or High School athletics team (not intramurals) please be on the lookout in the coming weeks for an invitation to your child’s Athletics Celebration.
We have had over 140 scholars participate in athletics, and we want to celebrate all their accomplishments!
Men’s Athletics will have their celebration on Thursday May 4th, 7 pm. Ladies’ Athletics will have their celebration on Friday May 5th, 7 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
