ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR THE NEXT YEAR'S 2022 SEASON!
UPDATED 7/12/2022 - July Updates!
Hi Softball Families-
My name is Mike DeSimone and I am the head softball coach for the Rock Canyon High School Softball program.
You can communicate with me directly via or my cell phone at 720-339-6425.
All non-season activities are optional but encouraged. You all have busy lives especially in the Summer so understand that the many options available are provided to help all the student athletes but please understand that it is totally appropriate to layer our team activities into your normal lives.
WE ARE CREATING OUR TEAMSNAP PAGE FOR COMMUNICATION - IT WILL BE UP SOON!
We are less than 30 days away from our season!
Our Team and Family Communication will be set up on TEAMSNAP and you should be receiving your invites this month.
Player and Coach Communication will continue on BAND but will be repeated often on TEAMSNAP.
Fundraising - RC Softball relies on fundraising to create the funding for our program. Our program cost is approximately $1000 per player! Historically we have been able to fundraise to cover around 60% of this total and we are in a solid financial position. However, in order to keep our costs reasonable and continue to run one of the top softball programs in Colorado we have to occasionally roll up our sleeves and fundraise. Our remaining fundraising options include the following:
SnapRaise - August 2022
Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant Night - August 4, 2022 - more info to come in TeamSnap
Chipolte Fundraiser - September 6, 2022 - more info to come in TeamSnap
Noodles and Company Fundraiser - TBD
Sponsorships and Donations are always welcome!
Physicals - Your physical must be completed when you register for the season later this month; in order to participate in tryouts you must have completed and submitted your physical **Players will not be able to participate in tryouts without a completed physical form and athletic registration.
Welcome Meetings - Our Team Kick Off event will be August 12th at the field - more details will be shared in TEAMSNAP but be sure to save the date for this get together after practice
Scrimmage Day - Our Varsity Scrimmage Day will be August 13th at Rock Canyon vs Eaton and D'Evelyn; The JV team will be expected to work the event and attend all day and may have a practice. Plan on a full day at the field!
Registration/District payment- All players must register and pay the district fee.
Links will be provided once this information is ready for release.
This fee is separate and in addition to the Booster Club fee!
The Booster Club is very active, loves volunteers and will offer many updates and communication year round.
Volunteer Opportunities exist in the following areas plus many, many more...
Field Prep Day:
July 24th 9am to 2pm Painting the Dugouts and Areas

For those of you new to the program the season starts with camp week August 1st including a retreat day August 2nd. From August 1st on, we will have practices and workouts 3pm to 6pm every day Monday through Friday plus the occasional Saturday. Tryouts will be August 8th and 9th with regular practice starting the 10th.
In season, our practices are Monday through Friday excluding game days and occasionally there are events on Saturdays but never on Sundays. In fact communication on Sundays is prohibited by CHSAA and we adhere strictly to this requirement.
