FCCJBL Flash

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.
