| Washington, DC | | Club softball | | April through August | | Word of mouth, email, Web site and TrueBlue | Initially, the program involved the efforts of four or five alumni who wanted to field a softball team to play in the Capitol Alumni Network League. The primary drivers were the sports director, the softball coach plus a cadre of assistants and members who wanted to play. Between 10-12 hours per week were expended during the initial program set up. Now, administrative time for the coach and assistants is two or three hours per week, not including practices and games. | | The club donates between $100-$200 per season to buy softballs and replace bats and worn equipment. | | The club team charges each player about $20 to cover the expenses related to team shirts, game refreshments and a softball party at the end of the season. | The "Wolverine Spirit" The competition, playing other alumni clubs, camaraderie, playing with old friends and making new ones. And, it's an outdoor activity that is inexpensive. | | Between 30-40 actively participate during the season - with a good core of 20 players. | | Need a manager/coach who is firm but fair and is able to ensure the game is both fun and competitive while not neglecting some of the players. | | Tony Digiovanni, antony.digiovanni@hq.doe.gov |
