April 28, 2011

Dear Fans,

 

Hello Baseball Fans!

 

OPENING DAY IS THIS SUNDAY, MAY 1ST

 

 

TEAM ROSTERS AND TEAM SCHEDULES WERE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE LAST NIGHT.

 

Opening Day for everyone - all divisions. 

Majors will play on the North diamond. 

Minors will play on the South diamond. 

T-Ball and Intro to T-Ball are in the grass area directly behind the school building.

 

Schedule and Rosters 

  • Games for the Majors, T-Ball and Intro all start at 1:30 pm.  
  • There will be 2 Minors games with 1:30 and 3:00 pm start time.  See Schedule page of the website for teams playing at each time.
  • Come early to get hats and baseball pants. Hopefully team shirts will be available the following Sunday.
  • A note about rosters... While we try to accomodate requests for our kids to play with their friends, it is not always possible to do and maintain the balance of play in the Majors and Minors in particular.  If your child is upset about team placement, remind them that it can as much fun if not more fun to play against your friends as it is to play with your firends.

And now a word from a sponsor...

 

Dick's Sporting Goods is have a grand opening of a new store in White Plains ("The Source" Mall at 1 Maple Ave - this down the block from Nordstrom) with discounts and specials all weekend long.  The FCCJBL has been fortunate to participate in Dick's Community Youth Sports program 3 times in the last 5 years (including 2011) obtaining baseballs, equipment bags and more.

 

P.S. As a recipient of this year's CYS program, I attended last night's pre-opening event.  Its a gorgeous well stocked store.

Dear Fans,

 

Baseball Fans, Hello!!!!

 

URGENT - PLEASE READ

Our opening practice (for the Majors and Minors) is this

Sunday, April 10th.  Our official opening day is Sunday, May 1st after Passover.  We need to know ASAP if your kids are participating in this year's league.

 

While I encourage everyone to email or mail in your registrations in the next 48 hours, I'd like you to drop me an email confirming your children's participation this year.  Just send an email with child's name and current grade and I will mark them as "pre-registered".  It is impossible to plan teams, uniform orders, etc. without your help on this.

 

Also, talk to you friends and your kids' friends.  A number of already registered players have requested to be on the same team as other players who are not yet registered including some kids totally new to the league.
