We would like to thank you for taking time to come out to our tryouts and work hard for a spot on one of our teams. We were delighted to see such hard working and talented young ladies want to be a part of our organization. Unfortunately, we could only keep a certain number of girls on each of our teams. If you happen to be one of the ladies that we did not have room for, we hope that you will continue to work hard at developing your softball skills and come back to see us for Fall tryouts.
Congratulations to 18 Gold player, Brianna Rios, who recently committed to Santa Clara University.

The Bears Softball Association is pleased to announce the addition of Coach Sherry Clark to the 16U team staff.
Coach Clark comes to us from Solano Community College, where she is an assistant Coach. Coach Clark is a graduate of Sacramento State.
She played two years for the Hornets after two years of softball at Solano CC.

The Bears Softball Organization would like to extend congratulations to Chelsea Shipley from Pinole Valley High School, Maddie Cousens from Albany High School, and Jacee Almond from Clayton Valley High School for making all league.
On Tuesday, May 19, California voters turned down ballot measures that would have closed $6 billion of the budget problem. This caused Governor Schwarzenegger to cut down the educational spending of each student by around $1,000. This affected many bay area school districts, who no longer have the money to fund music and sport programs. One of these districts is the Mount Diablo School District, including Clayton Valley High School, where Bear's 18 Gold's Victoria Kobold attends and plays both soccer and softball at, and where Bears coach and Vice President Jenn Arnold-Garcia coaches softball. Kobold commented "I can't imagine not being able to practice and play... when I heard, I couldn't grasp the idea of not having sports after school".
