HARD WORK Although the traditional season happens in the spring, the Kansas softball team puts in work year round. The Jayhawks report in the fall for individual workouts on the field and in the weightroom, while also playing a fall schedule. Once they return to campus after winter break, two-a-days and intense preseason camp gets the Jayhawks ready for the spring.

WE ARE KANSAS 5

“We’re athletic, we’re competitive and this team is just fun to be around. The energy is very positive. We’re very ready to do what it takes to win and do what it takes to get to (NCAA) Regionals, which is our goal.”

NAMESAKE

PACK THE PARK

TRADITION

MEDIA

Named after Kansas business woman Cheryl Womack’s father, Demostenes Arrocha.

Womack donated the $2 million needed to fund construction of the ballpark.

Arrocha Ballpark holds 750 fans. The Jayhawks averaged 617 fans per game in 2012, fourth in the Big 12.

After every game, the Jayhawks sing the Rock Chalk chant to their faithful fans - who chants back at their team.

Prior to the 2012 season, a press box was added, making it possible for all home games to be broadcast via online radio on AT&T Jayhawk All-Access.

LOCKER ROOM Located just a quick walk from the ballpark, the Kansas softball locker room is a second home to the Jayhawks and gives the team a place to focus and prepare on gameday. Not only do the Jayhawks get ready for games here, the locker room is also an easy way for the team to make it to morning workouts, shower and make it to class in comfort.

WE ARE KANSAS 7 TEAM ROOM

A flat-screen TV and several kitchen amenities are also housed in the team room, providing a place for homework - and the occasional nap.

2013 KANSAS SOFTBALL

PHOTO OF TEAM ROOM

Before players can get to the locker room, they pass through the team room. A great place for a nap or hanging out with teammates, the Jayhawks always have a place to come before and after practice or between classes.

ROCK CHALK PARK THE STADIUM

WE ARE KANSAS

In January 2013, the City Commission of Lawrence approved the proposal to build Rock Chalk Park, the site for brand-new, state-of-the-art track and field, soccer and softball facilities. The new park will double KU softball’s fan capacity and will be located near the intersection of 6th Street and George Williams Way, just east of K-10, in Lawrence.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK

THE INDOOR TRAINING CENTER Aside from the new stadium, which will hold 1,500 fans, Rock Chalk Park will also see a vital addition to the Jayhawk softball program. A state-of-the art indoor training facility will be constructed next to the stadium, providing the team a softball-only facility for workouts during the winter months and all year round. Batting cages and bullpens will make it possible for players to train individually, as well.

DR. SHEAHON ZENGER, KU ATHLETICS DIRECTOR “Thanks to our partnership with KU Endowment and Thomas and Dru Fritzel, we are now able to do something for the University of Kansas and the City of Lawrence that will raise our standing on the map in the world of athletics. I said from the day I took this job: This is the University of Kansas; this is the flagship institution of this great State. Initiatives like this help us act like it.”

Rock Chalk Park will serve as home to Kansas softball games, soccer matches and track meets, but it will also house their own coaches’ offices, training room facilities and locker rooms - in essence, a way for teams to form a community even away from campus.

“I honestly didn’t believe it at first, but when I saw the plans drawn up I realized that it’s actually going to happen. It’s definitely an exciting thing for the program to have and it’s exciting for us.

Words can’t describe it, I’m so excited.”

Elsa Moyer, junior outfielder “I’m so excited and I’m even more excited that I’m going to be here when it’s finished. It’s going to be great; I can’t wait.”

Alicia Pille, sophomore pitcher

9 2013 KANSAS SOFTBALL

“We are extremely excited about Rock Chalk Park. We’ve waitied a long time to get a facility that would compare to others in our conference. We’re finally getting that. It shows dedication to our sport and the belief that Dr. Zenger wants to help us continue to grow and get better. We’re going to be able to make really big strides with that park. It’s going to be state-of-the art and really nice.

We’re really excited about it.”

TRIATHLON An annual tradition, the Rock Chalk Teams - which the coaching staff designates each year - dress in Halloween costumes and compete in the Rock Chalk Triathlon. The course begins with six miles of biking, followed by a 2.2-mile run on campus and ends with three laps inside the competition pool in the Robinson Natatorium.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT The University of Kansas offers student-athletes an academic support program designed to help them meet the challenge of accommodating both athletic and academic demands. The purpose of the program is to help student-athletes become efficient and effective learners who will become capable of independently meeting the demands of the university’s academic programs. Tutoring is available for all studentathletes, regardless of scholarship status or sport.

WE ARE KANSAS

Each sport has its own sport counselor who is responsible for making sure student-athletes make acceptable progress toward their degrees.

• Located on the northwest corner of the Kansas Athletics complex • Completed in May 2009 • $5 million, 15,600-square foot facility complete with a 36-computer technology lab • 24 individual tutoring rooms along with informal group study areas • 19 private offices for staff to meet with athletes

SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY Dr. Sheriece Sadberry and her staff provide a strengths-based approach to individual counseling to assist student-athletes in the achievement of personal, educational and sport goals.

Performance enhancement training teaches student-athletes how to monitor and control various psychological characteristics which have been found to impact performance. In individual sessions, student-athletes can learn how to develop, maintain and replicate mental states which have been found to enhance their physical performances.

Through group sessions and team-building activities, the sport psychology staff help teams identify what they do well as a group and what they may need to improve upon to achieve peak performance.

CITY OF LAWRENCE Ranked among the top-10 college cities by ParentsAndColleges.com, Lawrence is home to approximately 90,000 people for a city feel with a close-knit college town mentality. A community that supports the University of Kansas with its heart and soul, Lawrence envelops the students so they too think of it as their hometown. A hot bed for local music, concerts and a great downtown, Lawrence is also rich with history. Founded in 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Society, Lawrence was originally founded in an effort to keep the territory free from slavery.

TRADITIONS

ROCK CHALK CHANT

WE ARE KANSAS

The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. Bailey wanted a cheer for his Science Club. Returning from a convention in Wichita, Bailey and some associates patterned a yell after the rhythmic cadence of their train rolling along the tracks. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club.

Before the University adopted the cheer in 1897, it consisted of “Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU” being repeated three times. An English professor soon suggested that “Rock Chalk” be substituted for “Rah, Rah” because it rhymed with Jayhawk. “Rock Chalk” was also symbolic of the chalky limestone formations found on Mount Oread. Teddy Roosevelt once said the Rock Chalk chant was the best he had ever heard.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK

WAVE THE WHEAT Since the early days of KU sports, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

THE JAYHAWK During the Civil War, a regiment raised by Kansas Governor Charles Robinson called itself the “Independent Mounted Jayhawks” (later officially the First Kansas Calvary and then the Seventh Kansas Regiment). By the end of the Civil War, the word Jayhawk was associated with the spirit of camaraderie and the courageous fighting qualities that characterized efforts to keep Kansas a free state.

By 1886, the University of Kansas had adopted the mythical bird as part of the KU yell. When the university’s football team first took the field in 1890, it seemed only natural that they should be called Jayhawkers. Few colleges and universities have such a meaningful symbol, one so deeply associated with the struggles of the people who founded them.

The name combines two birds - the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter. The message here: Don’t turn your back on this bird.

Campanile Hill forms the picturesque backdrop for Memorial Stadium.

On a sunny fall Saturday, the “Hill” is transformed into a congregating place for watching Jayhawk football, sunning and barbequing. Potter Lake, just to the southeast of Memorial Stadium and at the bottom of Campanile Hill, adds to the beauty of the Kansas campus.
