OPENING DAY SATURDAY MARCH 2

Hi Everyone- The long offseason is about to become a memory and Madrid League Baseball 2013 is about to kick off. I'll start here with a few thoughts and reminders:
- Please keep in mind our goals of good sportsmanship, having fun, safety, and learning from and about the game of baseball. These are our main priorities.
- Thanks to everyone that has helped with getting the league organized. A lot of time and planning has gone on to bring us to this point and its much appreciated.
- The weather is still pretty volatile. If there are any doubts on game day whether we will proceed with the games please call your coach. I will try to arrive at the field by 9:30 and have a decision shortly there after.
- We will distribute the uniforms on a best fit basis. Please do not ask for bigger sizes to allow for growing room.
- By now everyone should have heard from their coaches. If not please contact me !
- Please write your name on all caps, gloves, and anything else that you wouldn't want to lose, and do a short inventory before leaving the field area to make sure you have everything you came with.
- Snack shack will be open. Volunteers will be needed and welcome. Please remember that any and all food and drink consumption will be confined to the baseball seating area only.
- This year there's a lot of construction going on around the school grounds. As such parents will be asked to keep an eye on their kids movements, and limit them to the area immediately surrounding the baseball field. That means no play ground access and absolutely no hanging around the construction zones.
- This year we have 2 more teams than last year. As such we have 1 more game to fit in over the course of the day. We are going to start the season with slightly shorter Coach Pitch games to accomodate the tighter schedule. We ask that everyone please note their game times and arrive early. Games will start and end punctually.
And with the above in mind here is the schedule for this Saturday:
10:00- 10:45 Tee Ball
10:00-11:00 Coach Pitch Cubs vs Giants
11:00-12:00 Coach Pitch Red Sox vs Dodgers
12:00-13:00 Coach Pitch A's vs Indians
13:00 14:30 Machine Pitch Mets vs Marlins
14:30-16:00 Machine Pitch White Sox vs Phillies
16:00-17:30 Machine Pitch Cardinals vs Blue Jays
17:30-19:00 Senior Kid Pitch Rangers vs Diamondbacks 

Thanks and lets play some baseball....
