BASEBALL

2010 Fall Baseball Early Registration is open!

Season starts September 7, 2010

Welcome to another exciting year of Pasadena Lakes Baseball. We all look forward to a fun-filled season. Here are a few tips that will help make the season enjoyable and rewarding:

Objectives of Baseball

The main objectives at this age level are:

1. That the players learn good sportsmanship

2. That the players learn the fundamentals of the game of baseball

3. That the players learn the value of team work and commitment

4. Most of all that the players have FUN

The primary objective is NOT winning. Character building, Sportsmanship, and Learning the FUNdamentals that will be stressed throughout the season. Our main goal is to have all the players want to come back and play again next year.

Coaches

The coaches are volunteers who want to help out the best they can. Many are busy with work, travel and family and can not always be there for every practice or game. That is why we will need help in some way this season.

Volunteers Needed

Throughout the season we will need volunteers for the following:

· Parents to keep score

· Parents to buys snacks for games

· Please consider volunteering for one or more things. There would be no baseball program without dedicated volunteers who can pitch in and help.

Sponsorship

Coaches will need your help to get the word out and try to obtain as many sponsors for our team as possible.

Players & Positions

The players will experience playing a variety of positions this year However, there may be times when you feel that your son or daughter is not playing enough or is not playing a certain position enough. While these feelings are understandable, please keep in mind that the coaches face many challenges. Dealing with players whom differ in age, maturity and ability can be quite difficult. While the main goal of the season is not winning, we still want to be competitive and not put a child in a situation that they are unprepared for or uncomfortable with then become discouraged.

Umpires

THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED. It is quite difficult for 2 umpires to see everything on the field, they will miss things. Whatever happens, the umpires should not be verbally harassed by the player’s coaches or spectators. Such harassment sets a bad example for the players and is unfair and will not be tolerated.

Sportsmanship

Pasadena Lakes Baseball will be placing an extra emphasis on sportsmanship this year. The league has stated that ANY violations to the rules will be handled severely, with the possible suspension of the parent AND player for the next game.

Commitment

We all know how families get busy, schedules fill up and at times you may encounter scheduling conflicts. However, please make every effort to bring your son or daughter to every game and practice. This year we’ll have 10 to 11 players per team. As you can see with a few illnesses and scheduling conflicts we can easily be down to less than 9 players. If we don’t have 8 players, we will have to forfeit the game.

Practices

For all practices, please bring the players to the field 10 minutes before the start of the practices so that they can properly stretch and warm-up.

Game Schedules

Will be posted on the web as they are completed.

Snack & Refreshments

For young Tee Ball players it can be debatable as to what the most important thing during a season is: the game itself or what the snack will be after the game! At the start of the season we’ll complete a snack sign up calendar for practice and games. Healthy snacks are a special treat for after practice/game. Healthy snacks are not a substitute for water ( each player should bring water for water breaks during practice). Parents should take turns volunteering to bring snacks to the practice/game. They should bring enough for the entire team and any siblings that may be around.

Remember it’s only a game

Feel free to talk to the coaches if you don’t understand something. Sometimes a brief chat with a coach can avoid any potential misunderstandings, ill feelings, etc. CHEER LOUDLY for your players. They appreciate the encouragement. Most of all remember they are only Children and need you to be positive and affirming.
