Expectations:
Our expectations for our players are simply to be prompt, prepared, and positive. Prompt means players
should have all equipment carried to the field and be ready to begin practice at 3:00. This will require players to get to
their lockers immediately after the final bell, and quickly change into their practice gear. Prepared means players
will have all of their equipment on a daily basis and be flexible enough to practice both outdoors or indoors,
depending on the weather. Finally, positive means that softball is a negative-free zone. Players must be willing
to be coached, be accepting of feedback, and be kind and respectful towards teammates, coaches, opposing teams,
and game officials.
Sports Fee: $140. Fees can be paid online on School Pay or in the Boltz front office.
Waived Fee: Qualifying students may apply to have their sports fee waived. Apply online for this program on the Free and Reduced Lunch Web Page. Once the form is submitted and your student is approved, parents must complete the permission to share the form online via ParentVue. Once these steps have been completed their athletic fee will be waived. This will include all sports played for the school year.
Boltz Athletics: Where we inspire students to be a great person, a great student and then a great athlete!
