CELPIP Reading Part 1 Practice Test: A team member coordinating a company softball league practice schedule

Dear Team Members,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to update everyone about our upcoming softball league practice schedule and some exciting changes we've made to accommodate more players.

First, I want to thank those who responded to our availability survey. Based on the responses, we've decided to hold practices twice a week - Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 11:00 AM. The company has graciously allowed us to use the field behind Building C, which they've recently upgraded with new lighting for evening practices.

We've noticed growing interest in our team, with several new members joining from the Marketing and IT departments. To ensure everyone gets adequate playing time and practice, we've implemented a rotation system. Each practice session will be divided into three segments: warm-up and conditioning (30 minutes), skills training (45 minutes), and practice games (45 minutes). This structure should give everyone a chance to improve their skills while having fun.

I'm also pleased to announce that Sarah Johnson, who played college softball, has volunteered to be our team coach. She'll be focusing on improving our batting techniques and field positioning, which were our weak points last season. Additionally, the company has provided us with new equipment, including batting helmets, gloves for those who need them, and practice balls.

Regarding team uniforms, we've selected a design that incorporates our company colors. The cost will be partially subsidized by the company, with each player only needing to contribute $15. Please let me know your size preference by next Friday if you haven't already done so.

For those who can't make it to every practice, don't worry - we understand that work and family commitments come first. We're creating a WhatsApp group to keep everyone updated on practice schedules, game dates, and any last-minute changes. We'll also use it to coordinate carpooling to away games.

Lastly, we're planning a team barbecue after next Saturday's practice to celebrate the start of the season. Family members are welcome to join, and we'll have some fun activities planned for the kids.

Please confirm your participation in the practice schedule by responding to this message. Looking forward to a great season ahead!

Best regards,Michael
