Thanks to Marlena "Mo" Osteen of Barry Goldwater High School, Phoenix AZ for submitting this.

Being a champion means you have dedicated and focused.

All of your work towards accomplishing your goals.

Each Varsity Softball Player can earn patches for their outstanding accomplishments in practice or in games. Each patch has a different meaning and is meant to be an incentive for each player to strive to earn. There is no limit to the number of patches a player can earn so by the end of the season you could have quite a few. The only rule to earning patches is to demonstrate the proper skill, attitude, or team play. DO NOT ASK TO BE REWARDED WITH A PATCH. The coaches will award patches at the end of a practice or the day following a game.
