BASEBALL FOR SATURDAY APRIL 25

Hi All

We had a pretty good week last week. The weather was a bit chilly to start the day but warmed up nicely into the afternoon. We're starting to move from a skills focus to an execution focus on the coach pitch level. That means that we'll be focusing more on the rules of the game, specific positions, when to run/not run, and where to throw when we get the ball. So far, so good.

On another note I'm sorry to say we are still really struggling with attendance on a couple teams. I know everyone has things going on in their lives but I'd really appreciate if we all could make maximum efforts to show up. Baseball is a team sport, and one of the values we're trying to teach is teamwork, Given that, if one team doesn't have enough players you're not only letting your own teammates down but it also hurts the other team as they don't get to play. I know the early game on Saturday morning is a little tough but please do try,

And here's the schedule for this week. I hope to see you all there this Saturday.

Thanks

BASEBALL SATURDAY APRIL 18

Hi Everyone

A couple short messages for this week. From now on through the rest of the season we're going to be stepping up our coaching efforts with more focus on the rules, execution, and positioning on the field. We're at the point now where the kids skills are there. From here on we're going to be working enhancing those skills and incorporating them into the rules and execution of baseball.

On a second note I'd like to remind everyone that a key element in the game of baseball is respect. That means on the field and off players need to show proper respect to fellow players, coaches, parents, people working in the snack shack, Respect is one of those things that if we haven't learned it by now, we need to learn it on the field and carry it through off the field as well.

Lastly here's the schedule for this week and looking forward to seeing you all this weekend.

Saturday April 18th Home Away

BASEBALL SATURDAY APRIL 11

Hi Everyone- I hope you all had a great Semana Santa, safe travels or a relaxing time at home, and are ready to get back at it again. It seems like forever since we've been on the baseball field with the rain out of our last scheduled games and then the 2 week break. Hopefully we'll have good weather and a clear schedule now for the remainder of our season. I know everyone has a lot of other things going on in their lives but it's really important to try and coordinate all the activities around the baseball. Remember if your team is short a few players that means there's the rest of your team and the other team that won't get to play.

And with that here's the schedule for this Saturday April 11

Saturday April 11th Home Away
Tee Ball 10:00-10:45 Yankess Red Sox
Coach Pitch 10:00-11:15 Tigers Marlins
Coach Pitch 11:15-12:30 Reds Brewers

Machine Pitch 14:00-15:30 A's Nationals
Machine Pitch 15:30-17:00 Pirates Royals
Senior 17:00-18:30 Cubs White Sox

Hope to see you all there this Saturday
