Hello players and parents, here is some additional information that I would like to bring to your attention:
- Please try to arrive 10-15 minutes early for Tuesday practice so we are ready to start at 6:30.
- The preferred uniform is gray pants, red socks, and a red belt. Hats and shirts are provided by ATLL.
- All boys need to wear a cup for all practices and games. Players need to wear pants (not shorts) to practice.
- Bats: BBCOR-3 and USA Baseball bats with a diameter of 2 5/8" are the only approved bats for this league. This endorsement must be visible for the bat to be used. USSSA bats are not allowed.
- If your child will not be at a game or practice, please let me know ahead of time. Positions are planned specifically for each game.
- I still am in need of a scorekeeper. The gamechanger app is what we have used in the past and is user-friendly.
- There will be no practice during spring break (April 11-15).
- The game schedule has been posted but some of the times need to be finalized. There will be a game on Tuesday 5/3 instead of practice, and the game on Friday 5/13 will be at 6:15 pm.
- All boys will be in the batting order every game. There are 13 players and only 9 defensive positions so there will be times your child may not play a complete game or may not play in his preferred position.
- Batting helmets are required. ATLL provides helmets to be used if anyone needs a helmet.
- Starting this week, I will be holding batting practice at Riverside Park on Fridays from 6-8 pm, field to be determined.
- It is important for everyone to maintain a positive attitude while on the field; mistakes happen and one play doesn't win or lose the game.
I coached in the ATLL last fall and really enjoyed the experience. After meeting everyone at our first practice, I feel we have a good group of players and am looking forward to the season.
See you on Tuesday. Jeff
