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.
