Note: Athletes in middle school and high school should join the PASA Middle School/High School softball training team. See Feb 2010 newsletter for details.

PASA Middle school and High School softball training is a partnership with Montgomery County Rec to offer a softball training team for athletes in middles and high school. The season begins on Sunday April 11^th from 10-11:30. A PASA form is required for this program. Middle School and High School athletes will train with high school volunteers/Unified Partners from area baseball teams to learn the skills of softball and play inter-squad games in a Unified format ( Unified partners will play along with our SO athletes to increase friendship building and skill building). Signup form for PASA is available HERE. DO NOT USE THE ON-LINE ATHLETE SIGN-UP form usually used for Special Olympic athletes.

SOMO has made an important step in our ability to coordinate resources for practices within and across teams. If you can Volunteer during some or all practices and events, choose Soccer at: http://somdmontgomery.org/volsignup_for_sport.htm

Unified Partner = plays alongside an Athlete partner (not available for all sports)
Admin = helps with sign-in/management, informal or formal officiating (recording scores)
