Player Rankings News: Tis the Season to Prepare For Next Year (& Class of 2028’s… You’re Soon to Be on the Clock)!

Get access to even more Extra Inning Softball content!

Next up as we look to rankings in the New Year: the Class of 2028’s starting in late January. Pictured: talented 2028 catcher/infielder Addie Rudge from Ohio.

We get it—it’s holiday season 2022 and you’re slammed with trying to get all your shopping done, finalizing travel plans and/or whatever other last-minute details that always… always… crop up.

But… when you get a free second as we approach the end of the 2022 year (already?!?), we want to gently remind you that NEXT MONTH, we not only kick off a New Year, but we also begin our player rankings once again… with a bit of a twist.

Class of 2028’s Up Next

First, it’ll be the first time looking at the Class of 2028’s and we’ll continue to update and spotlight those athletes through their graduation. Which seems like it’s 20 years down the road!

Also, as you’ll note on our Player Rankings Schedule for 2023 (click HERE to access it), we’ll BEGIN taking in 2028 nominations from coaches starting December 23rd—in just 10 days from now, which—not to stress you out even more—is Christmas Eve Eve.

Yikes.

Note that nominations for the 2028’s will END on January 23, 2023 (no late adds this time!) and the launch of the Extra Elite 100 will start a week later, on January 30th.

Here’s the Player Rankings Schedule for 2023 (also found under the “Rankings” tab on the home page).

Elite Coaches Notifications List (Database)

Second, we are introducing a new and improved system—or at least we think so!—that will make the nomination process even better.

We have created an Elite Coaches Notifications List which is a coach database that includes names, emails and phone numbers so we at Extra Inning Softball can send YOU coaches of these great young athlete reminders regarding nomination deadlines

So—to start with– any/all coaches working with 2028’s, e-mail bonnie.eads@extrainningsoftball.com if you’d like to be including in our system to be sent reminders regarding next month’s rankings.

And coaches of ALL age divisions, you’re welcome to send in your info too starting Jan. 1, 2023!

Here’s what we need specifically for coaches to get into our system:

  • Coach First/Last Name
  • Team Name
  • Coach Email
  • Coach Phone #

Again, send your info to bonnie.eads@extrainningsoftball.com and we’ll be in touch with you as to next steps in the Extra Inning Softball player ranking process.

Finally, Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at Extra Inning Softball!
