Please use this file for any sponsorships for the 2024 season. These sponsorships will go towards new equipment for the players who gather these sponsorships and are separate from the program fundraiser.

Coach Lenz
There are quite a few announcements below that are important to read before the upcoming week, so I encourage you to read all the way through. As always, if there are questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to me – shebnorthsoftball@gmail.com!
FUNDRAISER BLITZ TOMORROW!
– All girls should plan on arriving to Room 163 tomorrow (Monday) at 5:00PM to begin our fundraiser drive. We are asking all the girls to have 20-25 contacts added into their profile by that time so we can get started right away. You are also encouraged to add your picture to your profile so people can see your smiling face when they donate! Fundraiser teams will be announced tomorrow as well as additional prizes available for those who raise funds.
POTLUCK PAPERS
– If anyone is missing any of the papers that were handed out at the potluck meeting on Thursday, please let me know and I will either e-mail them to you or give them to your daughter.
SPONSORSHIPS DUE FRIDAY
– Please remember that all sponsorships are due this Friday (3/24) to guarantee that banners can be printed prior to our first home game. We will always take sponsorships after this date and we will get the banners printed as soon as possible after receipt.
VARSITY PAPERS
– All girls on the Varsity team are reminded to turn in their “assignments” (class scheduled/individual goals) tomorrow at practice.
JERSEY MIKE’S BOX LUNCH ORDERS
– All girls were given a Jersey Mike’s Box Lunch order form on Friday at practice. This is not required but is an option for girls to have something to eat between the end of school and the games on road trips. The cost is $13 per lunch and the girls will receive a sub sandwich, bag of chips, a cookie, and a drink. The JV team will be on 5 road trips and the Varsity will be on 7. You can pay all at once or individually. Payment must be submitted 3 days in advance of the game. Checks can be made to “Sheboygan North Softball”.
THIS WEEK’S SCHEDULE
– Monday: Fundraiser at 5:00PM. Varsity practice to follow until 8:00PM. JV will have a team meeting following the fundraiser.

All girls should be prepared to go onto the football field to catch fly balls should the field be empty of snow at any time this week.
That’s all for now. More information will come throughout the week.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Coach Lenz
2023 SOFTBALL TEAMS
Before I get into the posting of the teams for 2023, I wanted to again take the time to thank each and every one of the girls for the efforts they put forth during tryouts. I was incredibly impressed all 3 days of tryouts.
As I told the girls, just because you start the season on one team doesn’t mean you have to finish the season on one team. These are fluid and movement between teams can – and likely will – happen. Please keep working hard throughout the year! And now – to the teams:
2023 VARSITY
– Emma Wagner
– Mara Babak
– Isabel Wieck
– Alaina Sohn
– Kendra Dogs
– Emily Brandis
– Alayna Reiter
– Bella Wagner
– Jadyn Jetzer
– Anna Dominguez
– Madeline Ashworth
– Annabelle Uttech
– Haley Bergstrom*
2023 JUNIOR VARSITY
– Haley Bergstrom*
– Kimberly Perez
– Monica Jaime
– Janell Russ
– Olivia Balde
– Victoria Barber
– Isabella Lozano
– Cassidy Froh
– Emily Fischer
– Sarah McCarthy
– Azucena Mendoza
– Charlotte Sargent
– Keira Allen
If the girls have any questions about their team placement, they shouldn’t hesitate to ask me at any time. There is a reason all the girls are on the team that they are on. I also have a list of items that each girl can, and should, want to work on to improve and I’m happy to share that.
Congratulations again to all of the girls and keep on working hard!!!
Tomorrow, the Varsity team will have a team meeting at 4:00PM in the Coaches Office. The Junior Varsity team will not have any team activity prior to the Parent/Player Potluck. We wanted to remind everyone to please get to the Commons at North prior to 5:30PM as we’d like to start dinner as close to 5:30 as possible.
Have a great night and we’ll see you all tomorrow!
Coach Lenz
Attached is the Sponsorship Program for the 2023 Softball Program. This is a great way for business to financially support the softball program while at the same time allowing the players to earn some great gear! Sponsorships for the 2023 season are currently being accepted. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Coach Lenz (shebnorthsoftball@gmail.com).
Have a great day!
I have received word that both of today’s scheduled games have been cancelled due to weather/field conditions. The JV game @ Plymouth will not be made up. We are tentatively scheduling the Varsity make-up for next Monday, April 11 at Sheboygan South.
JV will practice tonight beginning at 6:00PM in the Raider Gym. Varsity will start at 5:30PM in Room 163 and then move to the Raider Gym. Both teams will be finished by 7:30PM.
See you tonight.
Coach Lenz
Before we announce the teams, I wanted to thank each and every one of the girls for the fantastic effort that was put forth the last 3 days. This was the most difficult decision we’ve had to make in the past many years and it is all due to the hard work of every player.
Please know that, as I told the girls after tryouts tonight, that these teams can be fluid. If you feel like you are not on the team you deserve, consider it a challenge. Girls are brought up to Varsity all of the time – make us pull you up!
Here are the teams to start the 2022 season (in no particular order):
VARSITY
– Ally Wagner
– Ali Oehldrich
– Maddie Brashaw
– Gina Intravaia
– Kaela Vidimos
– Serenity Wilterdink
– Mara Babak
– Emma Wagner
– Alaina Sohn
– Isabel Wieck
– Bridget Berry
– Jadyn Jetzer
– Alayna Reiter
– Bella Wagner
JUNIOR VARSITY
– Coline Coster

– Safot Haleem
– Emily Brandis
– Kendra Dogs

– Madeline Ashworth
– Olivia Balde
– Annastacia Dominguez
– Isabella Lozano
– Jenna Ollenburg
– Mileena Perronne
If any of the girls have questions as to why they are on which team and what they can work on, please have them reach out to me in person. I’m happy to have that discussion with them as I want them to know what to work on to improve. I am also happy to discuss this with the parents (should they desire) after I speak with the player individually.
Please forgive me if names are spelled wrong or if someone is missing. We had quite a few girls that weren’t at all 3 days of tryouts and we did our best to keep track of who was with us and who wasn’t playing. If you do find an error, please reach out to shebnorthsoftball@gmail.com and we’ll make the correction.
As a reminder, JV will be having uniform handout tomorrow right after school in the storage cage across from the Boys Team Locker Room. Varsity will have a team meeting at 4:15PM in Room 163.
All players and family members are encouraged to join us at our potluck tomorrow night in the North HS Commons. Dinner will be at 5:30 with a brief presentation to follow. We are asking families of the players to bring the following:
Juniors/Seniors – Drinks
Sophomores – Desserts
Freshmen – Side Dish or Chips
We are all looking forward to a great 2022 season and we’re ready to get started! See you all tomorrow night!
Coach Lenz

Coach Lenz
Good afternoon, everyone. I hope that you are all surviving the current cold snap. Just keep in mind that our season starts in less than 9 weeks!!! With that information, it’s important that you are all aware of the following important items:
- SOFTBALL REGISTRATION
- There is no “beginning” of registration for the softball season. All girls can stop in to the Activities Office with Mrs. Prisinger to get registered. You must complete the online registration form, submit your annual physical/alternate year card, and pay the registration fee. All of this information is listed on the North HS website: https://www.sheboygan.k12.wi.us/north-high/news/practice-start-dates-for-21-22-athletics Please keep in mind that tryouts start on Monday, March 14 and you cannot practice without all of these completed.
- SOFTBALL TRYOUTS
- It is our intent to have 2 teams this year (Varsity and JV). If we are fortunate enough to have enough girls for 3 teams, we will certainly be able to get the JV2 team a schedule. For planning purposes, it is important that we have an idea of the number of girls to expect as soon as possible, so please get registered for softball earlier than later. We have no intention of cutting any girls. Tryouts will be for 3 days – March 14-16 likely beginning at 5:00PM. Tryouts for all girls will last from 5:00-7:00. Any girl interested in being considered for a spot on the Varsity team will also need to stay from 7:00-8:00PM. Times may change, but the dates will not.
- FUNDRAISING
- As we missed an entire year of fundraising through concessions last year, we are in desperate need of a good fundraising year this year. I am taking suggestions on a program fundraiser that everyone can participate in. As always, it is not my intent to make this fundraising mandatory but only highly encouraged. We need everyone’s participation to be able to offer the types of program/facilities/equipment that the girls deserve. At this point, I am leaning towards selling Faye’s Pizza again. To make it easier, we would only sell vouchers. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but we always seem to have great success with this program. If you have other fundraising options, please let me know and we’ll consider all suggestions.
- SPONSORSHIPS
- This is another way that the program is able to raise funds at the same time your daughters earn great rewards. We are again offering our sponsorship program as we have in years past. There is no need to wait to submit sponsorships. As a matter of fact, the earlier we get the sponsorships, the easier it is to get everything prepared in time for the season to start. The sponsorship info is listed in the link below.
- SCHEDULE
- The JV and Varsity Schedules are set. They can be found here: https://www.sheboygan.k12.wi.us/north-high/activities/softball
- BOOSTER CLUB REP NEEDED
- If you are a member of the North High Booster Club and are interested in being the parent rep of the Softball program, please let me know. This job entails keeping track of expenditures from the account and approving payment for any purchases from the account. Financial background is absolutely not necessary. If you can balance a checkbook, you should be able to do this with no issue. If you may be interested in this position but are not a member of the Big Booster Club, please let me know and we can work to remedy that.
Thank you to all of you for your continued support over the years. I’m looking forward to a great 2022 season and can’t wait to get started.
Have a great day and we’ll see you all at open gyms tomorrow night!
Coach Lenz
Good afternoon, everyone.
I figured it’s never too early to get started on the 2022 Sponsorship Program for Sheboygan North Softball, so I’ve made all the updates for the coming season. All of the information needed is listed in the presentation below. Feel free to print it off and make as many copies as you need.
I can begin accepting sponsorships immediately and can begin working on getting the sponsorship rewards to the student-athletes as soon as directed by the players. Selling the sponsorships early may allow you to get your new “tools” prior to the season starting.
If anyone has any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at shebnorthsoftball@gmail.com.
Have a great day!
