Opening Day is this Saturday

Hello! 

First of all, we want to say a huge THANK YOU for an amazing turnout at both Family Field Clean Up Days. We were blown away - THANK YOU! 

UNIFORMS We hope to get uniforms before Friday. We'll try to schedule some time Friday for families to come pick them up. We can also easily do distribution through your coaches when you arrive for opening day Saturday. If this happens, we'll just throw jerseys on kids over t-shirts, but be ready otherwise. Please don't wear cleats to opening day for the parade (although you may want to bring them for later.) Many thanks to Ashley Iocca for giving lots of time on the uniforms. It is a lot of work with a lot of last minute, moving parts!

OPENING DAY is this Saturday!! 

  1. Players will arrive no later than 9:30am. YOUR COACH WILL GIVE YOU AN EXACT MEETING TIME AND LOCATION FOR YOUR TEAM. The parade starts at 10am. Family and friends are invited to line Portage Rd and Lover's Lane by the fields. There will be police cars and a fire truck and some other friends and sponsors in the parade with us. We'll walk from Royce Ave. on Portage Road along the complex, turn onto Lover's Lane, and walk into WILSON FIELD. We'll have a short ceremony on Wilson Fields with some special guests while celebrating our players, coaches, and our AMAZING list of sponsors. 
  2. Following the ceremony, we'll have fun baseball and softball activities throughout the complex including dizzy bat, a speed gun pitching station, a home run derby, a silly tennis racket scrimmage, a putting on catcher's gear race, around the horn races, and more. Players will get cards and win prizes from the concession stand depending on the number of activities they do. 

So, we're looking forward to a great day and we hope to see you ALL there as we kick off the season together! The concession stand will be open. :) 

THANKS AGAIN, FAMILIES! It takes a village.
