Note From Rosie and Debbie:
Welcome back all to another year of Wisconsin Twister Fastpitch!  We are all so excited to have you back, or welcome you to your first year and hope that you are equally anxious to get the year started.
There will probably be a few additional email reminders from some of our other directors/board members, but mine is short and specifically in regards to what you need to do,  if you cannot attend this meeting. You will need to try on uniform pieces for sizes and get those to us before October.  Contact your parent rep or try on a teammate's uniform - or find someone close in size and find out what they wear.
You will need to mail your 2nd deposit to:  Rosie, Address Above. Final Payments Due By February 1st. 
We don't order a uniform pieces/spirit wear until you have initial balance of $300.00 toward 2019 fees by parent meeting.   You also need to have all of you
r fees from 2018 and fall ball/deposits paid in full before a uniform or pieces will be ordered. It's important because the uniform or additional pieces will cost additional fees if we have to order them outside of the initial bulk quantities.  If you need to discuss payment plans or other issues, please feel free to call me and we will absolutely work something out.  It's important to hear from anyone who cannot be at this meeting. You can either email us at: debeatle@aol.com  rolle82397@sbcglobal.net  

And finally, we will miss seeing/meeting you!  We know that everyone has a very full and busy schedule this time of year,
and apologize if this didn't work into your calendar.  We have too many things to try and schedule in the fall as well, and between fall ball, high school and middle school events there is never a GOOD day for this event.
Your player paperwork should have been given out. There may be paperwork you have not completed, and we ask that you check and fill out anything you know is missing, and then return to the coach/parent rep(s).  
  
Deb Mikolajczyk and Rosie Olle

DRESS CODE FOR ALL PLAYERS

As we move into the warmer and sometimes colder months... We ask that all players adhere to a Dress Code. Ultimately we are to use practice to get better, if your clothing is not designed to do that...than you shouldn't wear it. Athletic wear will promote an athletic practice....UTILIZE YOUR TWISTER APPAREL ! :)

1. NO TANK TOPS will be worn for practice gear. Shoulders must be covered. Muscle shirts with cap sleeves are okay. No low cut shirts.

2. PROPER SHORTS - comfortable fitting athletic shorts, covering the thigh. No spandex.

3. GRAPHIC APPAREL - no clothes promoting vulgar or unbecoming theme/s.

Please come prepared for the weather. It changes quickly. Have proper shoes for running and on the diamonds. Always have a water bottle.

If you have any question on an item that you want to wear, ask your parent...they will make sure you are good to go!
