Mosquito Squad will be holding tryouts for its 10U, 12U, two 14U teams on August 2nd and 9th at Todd Beamer HS in Federal Way. 10U and 12U tryouts will be at 1 pm. 14U tryouts will be from 2-4 pm. LFA and coach Adam La Serna will provide a FREE Pitching Clinic to Registerees trying out for Pitching at tryouts. I have known Adam for many years and coach Adam has been a Pitching Coach to the South Puget Sound area for a quite a long time and knows allot about pitching.
In 2009, the SLAM! finished with a 49-15-1 record winning the Acer’s Mothers Day (ASA) 12U-B bracket, the Fife Fun Days Tourney(USSSA ), the Mosquito Invite(USSSA), and the Kent New Team Invite ( USSSA ). The team competed in 10 tournaments in 2009 and was in the gold semifinals in all but one. The team finished 3rd in state for USSSA and also competed in the NSA Icebreaker tournament with a 4-2 record.
The team has a solid group of pitchers and catchers returning that will keep the team in every ball game next year. Our pitchers and catchers are very dedicated and are top-notch.
PLANS FOR 2010
The Federal Way SLAM! will practice and play games throughout the summer.
We’ll play in the Fall USSSA series of tournaments and compete for the 14U USSSA fall state championship.
Starting in December, the SLAM! will practice indoors for 2 hrs per week on a regular schedule to focus on skill development, hitting and speed and agility training.
The team will compete in ASA, NSA and USSSA tournaments around the state with 1 or 2 trips across the mountains to eastern Washington and possibly a trip to Oregon.
The team will compete in 8-10 tournaments for the 2010 season.
FINANCIALS
The budget for 2010 is not yet set, but plan on a financial commitment of $400-$600 dollars for the 2009 year. The team has a history of innovative fundraising techniques. The 2009 season cost each player $300. This included 10 tournaments, league fees, insurance, 2 sets of uniforms, new helmets and assorted team gear.
BENEFITS OF JOINING THE SLAM!
The indoor practice regimen will develop the girls and get them ready for spring.
The SLAM! has a top-notch web site for communication and team building. Highlight videos of the girls are produced for all tournaments and can be shared with your extended family across the world. The SLAM! site has had over 26,000 viewings of highlight videos over the past year. Your daughter’s extended family can marvel at her accomplishments!
The coaching philosophy is POSITIVE. Girls are encouraged and challenged throughout each practice. There is a strong focus on making sure the girls enjoy coming to each practice.
The time commitment and the financial commitments are reasonable. The focus is on competing and having a great time doing it! We plan to accomplish some big things in 2010.

I want to thank you for coming out today, and your input. All of the pitchers said they learned something from you today. I want to send some of our pitchers to you. We are looking for more 12U players, so if you hear of any that are looking for a team, please let me know.

" Anna pitched 5 innings against a big team and hit for 3 of 4 at bats with 3 rbi's.She struck out 7 batters and allowed only 2 hits! Your pitching practices with Anna have really helped alot. All her pitches looked good. Anna really focused well when she was behind in the count a couple times and was able to strike them out. She remembers what you told her about keeping her mechanics consistent on each location of every pitch.

"I was really impressed and very excited. For the past year, we've been working, working, working, and not seeing a lot of increase in speed or power. With just a few simple observations and tips from you, I saw a remarkable difference in her throwing. We have a game tonight, and I'm excited to see a difference. Please let me know if we'll have a set day/ time going forward,
or how the scheduling thing works with you..
Take care,Melissa Musser, Highline Nationals LL

"Thanks Adam !!! We are very proud of Stephanie.Sure she had some ups and downs during the season, but I believe that every pitcher has that.She is definately growing as not only a pitcher but as an athlete. We believe that she will lead her school to districts next year.Go Lady Lancers!! Now that school ball is over she can really focus on the Lady Viks. I really would like to see her team get to the championship game of a tournament,they have the talent so I know they can do it. Steph just needs to keep up the good work and keep her bat going. She is finding out that the new bat is way better."..
Thanks Adam for all your support.
