Hey future Peaches stars!

Tryouts are around the corner and we are so excited to see you hit the field and show off your sparkle. Whether you're a first-timer or a returning player, we've got the ultimate game plan to help you feel confident, prepared, and totally unstoppable.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to rock those tryouts – the Romeo Peaches way!

👟 1. Get Your Gear in Check

Before tryouts even begin, make sure you’ve got your essentials ready:

Glove that fits your hand just right
Softball cleats or sneakers with good grip
Athletic clothes (peach-themed? yes, please!)
Helmet and bat (if you have your own)

Pro tip: Try everything on ahead of time. Nothing should be too tight or uncomfortable – you want to move like the wind!

🥤 2. Eat Smart & Stay Hydrated

Fuel your body like an athlete! On the day of tryouts:

Eat a good breakfast (think: eggs, fruit, toast)
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after
Avoid heavy or sugary snacks right before

Staying hydrated helps you stay energized and focused. Plus, a water bottle is a must-have in your bag!

💪 3. Practice the Basics

The best way to shine? Be prepared with your fundamentals:

Practice throwing and catching with a friend or against a wall
Hit a few soft tosses in the backyard
Stretch and warm up your legs and arms
Run some sprints to build endurance

Tryouts usually look for hustle, attitude, and effort – not perfection. So give your best and don’t stress if you miss a ball!

😄 4. Bring That Peaches Positivity

At Romeo Peaches, we believe that being a good teammate is just as important as making the perfect catch.

Smile, encourage others, and show good sportsmanship
Listen carefully to coaches and show you’re willing to learn
Be confident in who you are – no one else plays like you do!

Remember, coaches LOVE players who bring great energy and a team-first mindset.

🧘‍♀️ 5. Calm the Nerves

Feeling nervous before tryouts? That’s totally normal! Here’s how to chill:

Take deep breaths (in through the nose, out through the mouth)
Visualize yourself making a great play
Repeat a simple phrase like: “I’m strong. I’m fast. I’ve got this!”

And remember: Every single Peach was once in your shoes. You’ve already won by showing up.

🎉 You Got This, Future Peach!

Softball tryouts are a chance to learn, grow, and have fun. No matter what happens, just know that being brave enough to show up and give it your all makes you a true Peach in Progress. 🌸
