The coaching staff and players of the Butler County Bears’ softball team will be conducting a softball camp this summer for girls ages 5-12 from June 8-11, 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. daily.  The 14th Annual BCHS Softball Camp will be held at the BCHS Softball Complex off Gardner Lane in Morgantown.  The camp is designed to teach the fundamentals of fastpitch softball and to encourage them to play at the next level.  Eligibility is determined by a player's age at the time of the camp. The registration fee is $48 and space in limited to no more than 30 players.  Campers will receive a complimentary t-shirt (if your registration is received by Friday, May 29), a certificate of participation, and a verbal softball skills evaluation.   Camp forms will be available at local schools, from Coach Jack Clark at Butler County Farm Bureau or at the Beech Tree News/WLBQ office at 107 West Ohio Street in Morgantown.  For more information, contact Coach John Embry at 270-526-7945.   
Tryouts for the Butler County Middle School softball team will be held June 22-24, 2015 at the BCHS Softball Complex off Gardner Lane in Morgantown.  Tryouts on Monday and Tuesday will be from 5 to 8 p.m.; tryouts on Wednesday will be 8 to 10:00 a.m.  Tryouts are open to all players who will be in grades 6-8 for the 2015-16 school year.  Players will be evaluated by a rating system based on four critical performance areas - throwing, hitting, fly balls, and ground balls, in addition to three bonus areas - pitching, base-running, and bunting.  Players trying out must have a KHSAA Middle School Physical and Permission form, which can be picked up at local schools or downloaded from the KHSAA website. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRYOUT FOR THE TEAM IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETED KHSAA MIDDLE SCHOOL PHYSICAL AND PERMISSION FORM.  Roster positions for the 2015 fall season are limited to no more than 24 players.  Therefore, tryouts will be competitive and physically demanding.  Based on 21 returning players, no more than three new players will be added to the 2015 BCMS team.  Parents and players need to understand this before deciding to try out for the team.  Tryout forms will be available at local schools, from Coach Jack Clark at Butler County Farm Bureau or at the Beech Tree News/WLBQ office at 107 West Ohio Street in Morgantown.  For more information, contact Coach John Embry at 270-526-7945.
