UPDATE

By now you all should have been contacted by your respective coaches introducing themselves and letting you all know what they have planned for the season in terms of practices, the schedule, and their contact details. If you have not heard anything yet please contact me asap.

Uniforms- As every year its more faith than science but we hope to have them by opening day. 'Hope' being the key word....

We have a packed game day schedule this year with the tee ballers starting things off at 10:00 and games going all the way through to the end of the day. Please plan on arriving well ahead of your game time to get warmed up.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you all opening day Saturday March 5 !

TEAMS

Teams have been picked and are in the hands of the coaches now. Over the next few days the coaches will be contacting you all, introducing themselves, and letting you know what they have planned. If you havent heard anything by next week please contact me.

Please understand that our priorities when making up the teams are safety, balanced teams, coaching availability, siblings, and driving for familes that live outside the immediate area. Accomodating requests for friends to be on the same team prove very difficult to accomodate given the numbers involved and the above priorities that have to come first. I hope you all understand and look at it as an opportunity to expand their circle of friends....

Next- Schedule should be out in a couple days.

Thanks

BASEBALL AND YOU

We're getting closer... A week from today and we kick off the season with the clinic day.

- Please see the previous post for details and times.

- The sign ups have gone well so far. At this point its looking like we'll have more kids than last year.

- Please come early to get registered if you are registering that day, and signed up. The day is controlled chaos at best.

- Lets hope the good weather lasts, but if its raining the 12th, the make up date will be Saturday Feb 19. If there's any doubt call Irene or myself.

- If you cant make it the 12th please let me know beforehand so we can make sure the kid will be assigned to a team.

- Please remember to write on your registration form any special requests for team assignments. I can't promise we'll accomodate everything but we'll try.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon...
