UPDATE 8/9/2021
This is the schedule for the week:
8U, 6:7:30 PM Monday and Wednesdays Field TBA
10U, 5:30 to 7:45 Monday and Wednesday Field TBA
12U, 5:30 to 8:00 Tuesday and Thursdays Field 1-3
15/14U 5:30 to 8:00 Tuesday and Thursdays Field 4
The plan is to evaluate and split teams up as soon as possible; however, since I'm still accepting registrants for the 12U division, team formation will be later in the week.
We still need coaches in the 12U division. It is tough to field teams without enough coaches.
The forecast shows periods of rain this week; however, we will not be rained out unless the fields are not playable. IF WE HAVE A RAINOUT, IT WILL BE CALLED AT THE FIELD, OR ILL SEND AN EMAIL NO LATER THAN 5 PM.
Coaches:
We need coaches for all levels. I currently have 2 coaches signed up for the 8U's, 2 for the 10U's, and one for the 15/14Us. If you had contacted me about coaching but have not registered online, please do so ASAP. WITHOUT COACHES, I CANT PUT THE TEAMS TOGETHER.

7 important MLB trends to watch in 2019
Wed, 27 Feb 2019 14:14:00 EDT The game is changing, perhaps more quickly than ever. Forget comparing the sport to what it looked like in the 1960s or the '80s; the game has changed massively in just the last half-decade. Remember, just five years ago, we were all talking about the lack of power ,and no one was talking about launch angle or spin rate. Things are slightly different now.
Field clean-up this Saturday went great and I give BIG thanks to all the families able to show up and help with the various chores that needed to be done!!!
We still have various tasks that must be completed and anyone who has a few hours to spare Tuesday-Friday between 4:30 PM and 7 PM your help is greatly appreciated!
Some of the tasks: Rake and bag grass; weed eat (bring your own weed eater) and install dugout screens and many more!!
REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN
