Teams Assigned! You Should Hear Something Soon!

The coaches are pulling the lists together and hopefully you will hear from them very soon. In the meantime, get your cleats, grab a ball and start getting ready for practice. Of course it looks like we might get rain (finally) just as we get started so find ways to get in shape indoors! On Facebook, Linda Jennings has a sock strategy that sounds pretty fun!

Its finally time! Opening Day is March 17th!

Player Evaluations: Shoreline Middle School on January 28th

The Cabrillo GALS Draft Evaluations will be help Saturday, January 28th at Shoreline Middle School. The evaluation is mandatory for ages 9-15. The younger girls do not need to be evaluated. The schedule, based on age, is listed below. Please plan on coming early to sign-in and warm-up. Bring a glove and a ball.


If you have attended an evaluation before (it was our first time last year!), here's what to expect. The girls will go through a set of drills so the coaches can evaluate their skills and build balanced teams for the upcoming season. Newbies are welcome so don't worry if you haven't done this before. You should know how to catch, throw, hit and field. If you completely new and have any concerns, please let us know at check-in.


It's fun and the girls always enjoy seeing one another - because our league draws from all over Santa Cruz County, they often see old friends they shared activities with in the past.


If it rains, we'll still hold evaluations but we will move to the gym in the rear of the school. Please bring court shoes as cleats are not allowed on the gym floor.


See you there!


Any player that wants to "play up" in an age bracket must participate both their age group and the group they want to play in. Players will be notified prior to draft night if they qualify to play in an older age bracket.

	10:30am - Noon	Last name starts with M-Z
12 & Under	12:30 - 2pm	Last name starts with A-L
	2 - 3:30pm	Last name starts with M-Z

Cabrillo GALS is open to any child between the ages of 5 and 16 and live in Santa Cruz County. The games are typically played at Anna Jean Cummings Park in Soquel. Registration is $120 per player and $105 for additional family members.


Please complete the online registration even if you are planning on mailing a check. 

Here are a few tips:

1.     We are encouraging everyone to register online. You do NOT have to pay online.

2.     By completing the form online, you reserve your spot.

3.     If you want to use a debit or credit card, you must pay online.

4.     If you want to mail us a check (which saves the Club some money because we avoid card charges), simply print out your completed reg. form (it will appear at the end of the process) and drop a check or money order in the mail.

5.     We have added a new volunteer "buyout" this year.
We are requiring four hours volunteer time per family this year that does not include snack bar duty (which is still required for all families). If you want to volunteer, hit "other" for first choice and "other" for second choice (unless you are interested in being a coach or team parent). If you do not want to volunteer, there's a buyout option on the volunteering page.

6.     Want to work on paper only and not register online? Click here to print the paper version of the registration form!

Glove Need a Little Love? Visit "The Mitt Mender"
