FALL BASEBALL WEEK 1

Just a reminder that this Saturday will be our first day of Fall Baseball this year. Please see below for the scheduled times. Please keep in mind the following:
- These games will be very casual. Those that want to play and have no previous commitments should just come out. We'll pick teams and play.
- Snack Shack will not be open for business. Sorry...
- Most importantly please remember that if you have signed up for other activities or have previous obligations ie other sports, music lessons, dance classes, school events, etc etc please make these your top priority. There is no obligation to Fall Baseball and will have no impact on when the league forms in February.

Thanks and see you all soon....

FALL BASEBALL 2012

I hope everyone had a good summer and is happily back into their normal routines of work and school. As some of you have probably already heard, this year we're going to have 3 weeks of Fall Baseball starting Saturday Sep 29. The plan is to have 2 weeks of informal pick up games and 1 week of a clinic. I'm really excited about the clinic as we are going to have the good fortune of Jeremy Guthrie returning. Jeremy used to pitch for the Baltimore Orioles but now pitches for the Kansas City Royals. He will be here the afternoon of Friday the 12th of October. He's going to give an instructional clinic on pitching, fielding, and hitting, for the older kids (9 and up) followed by a talk on his baseball experience. Due to size constraints unfortunately we have to limit the clinic to the Senior and Junior Kids. However I would like to invite the Coach Pitch kids to watch and listen to Jeremy's talk following the clinic. There will be time to meet and chat with him, ask questions, get autographs, and take pictures. 

Here is the schedule for the 3 weeks which will all take place at the ASM baseball field. We'll have pick up games the first 2 weeks. All you need to do is show up, bring your gloves, we'll make teams and play.

Saturday Sep 29
13:00 to 14:30 Coach Pitch.
14:30 to 16:00 Machine Pitch.
16:00 to 17:30 Senior Kid Pitch.

Saturday Oct 6
13:00 to 14:30 Coach Pitch.
14:30 to 16:00 Machine Pitch.
16:00 to 17:30 Senior Kid Pitch.

Friday Oct 12-
Friday is a national holiday. I hope everyone will be able to make it. We’ll follow a similar format to last year- He’ll give a short talk on what we’re going to focus on during the clinic, followed by work on the field focused on pitching, fielding, and some hitting, followed by a longer chat on his experiences over the past year, challenges that lie ahead for him, Q&A, pictures and autographs. Like last year to get the most of his time here we're going to limit it to around 50 kids who play at the Junior and Senior Kid levels. Start time will be 13:00. I hope I can count on you all to be there and help out. While things can always change at the last minute this looks like a pretty sure thing at this point.

Hope to see you all there....
