JCHS FEEDER SOFTBALL PROGRAM LOOKING FOR INTERESTED PLAYERS (4/28)
Plans are moving forward for a JCHS feeder softball team for the Fall 2009 season. The
coaching staff for the team is expected to be announced soon followed by tryout dates. It is expected that tryouts for
the team will be conducted the last week of July and the first week of August. Team practices will begin the second
week of August. Program coordinators are actively seeking interested players so they can be added to the contact list
for team tryouts. Please see the BOOSTER page and contact the Feeder Program Coordinator if you wish to be added
to the email distribution list for the JCHS softball feeder program. The program is open to rising 6th, 7th, and 8th
grade students for the 2009-10 school year that reside within the JCHS attendance zone. Home school students or those
that plan to attend private schools are eligible provided they meet the grade and attendance zone requirements.
JCHS FEEDER SOFTBALL PROGRAM INFORMATION (3/1)
The North Fulton Feeder Softball League was formed several years to provide an
opportunity for middle school softball players to compete as part of a team representing the high school for
which they were zoned to attend. Players in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were invited to tryout for their
respective high school teams typically in July and August with practices beginning in the middle of August.
Teams would then play a schedule of 8-10 regular season games culminating with an end of the season tournament
at Twin Creeks Park in Cherokee County. In addition to the teams representing North Fulton, middle school teams
from Cherokee County also participated in the tournament.
In 2008, teams from Northview, Chattahoochee, Milton, Roswell, and Alpharetta participated in the league. With
the exception of Northview, it was the 2nd year of participation for these schools. Northview participated for
the 1st time in 2008. Representing Cherokee County were teams from Woodstock, Cherokee, Sequoyah, Etowah, and
Creekside. Northview, in its initial year of participation, brought home the championship to North Fulton with
Milton placing 3rd overall and Roswell 4th.
The middle school teams were able to practice and play on their respective high school fields through the support
and cooperation of the head coaches at their schools. The feeder teams, although loosely associated with the
high schools, are run by volunteers and are not sponsored by the high schools or the county. The teams must be
self-funded and self-equipped. Many schools rely on the booster club to identify volunteers to organize and run
the feeder team while other programs take a more active role.
Plans for a Johns Creek High School feeder team for the 2009 season are presently under discussion. Coach Nicholson
will make a final decision on whether to move forward with an offering in the near future. If the decision is made
to explore the possibility of a feeder team, it will still be contingent upon finding suitable volunteers to run
the team and for sufficient players to have a competitive offering.
