SHSFASTPITCH
Climbers start p
By DEAN SIEMON
It's never too early to
start preparing for next
season, and Shelton High
School fastpitch softball
didn't wait too long after
the end of the 2009-10
season.
"We have a lot to work
on before our first game,"
said Shelton head coach
Kim Goldsby, who enters
her second season with
the Highclimbers.
"We've got a pretty
tough schedule coming
up. We don't play Wilson,
Foss or Lincoln," she con-
tinued, noting teams that
moved down to the 3A
level this season. "Those
were our three no-hitter
games."
Spring teams officially
begin practice on Mon-
day, Feb. 28. But teams
are allowed to have open
gym practices while the
coach cannot participate.
Earlier this month,
Shelton opened up
an open gym at the
Minidome, which is avail-
able to all players as a
pro-season workout op-
tion.
Goldsby said that there
have been a number of
incoming freshmen that
could make immediate
impacts.
"Cassio Crabtree has
been coming into the
school's weightroom all
year," Goldsby said.
During the open gyms,
the players that choose to
come in work on fielding,
hitting and pitching.
Some from the past
have even" come in to help
instruct, including Me-
gan Lund and Natasha
Hamilton from last sea-
son's team.
"They threw in some
plyometrics in that they
learned from college
ball," Goldsby said. "We
had some sore kids."
Goldsby said the open
gym, in addition to sum-
mer and fall select-team
tournaments and sum-
mer camps, are necessary
to build on the fundamen-
tals.
"Not just the physical
fundamentals but it's the
mental fundamentals,"
she said.
Goldsby said after a
number of mental errors
