This week’s message is on an unusual day, since this week we have an unusual schedule! Here are the important things you need to know:

1. Group practices conclude tonight and tomorrow:

• Monday, 8/30: MAJORS 6pm at Idylwood
• Monday, 8/30: SINGLE A 6pm at Westgate Turf
• Tuesday, 8/31: AAA 6pm at Westgate Lower
• Tuesday, 8/31: AA 6pm at Westgate Turf
•  Just like last week, we will be monitoring the afternoon weather. Keep an eye on your email in case there are late-breaking changes! Parents, please stay at the field during practice in case there is thunder.

2. After the conclusion of group practices, we’ll go quiet for a few days as teams are formed. Single A, AA, AAA, and Majors can expect to hear directly from their Manager over Labor Day weekend, and to begin practice on September 7 (AA/AAA) and September 8 (Single A/Majors). Challengers, Intermediate, and Tee Ball will begin soon thereafter. Please reach out to your Level Coordinator if you haven’t received any news by Labor Day. (Our fabulous and tireless Level Coordinators are… for Majors: [email protected]; AAA: [email protected]; AA: [email protected]; A: [email protected]; Challengers: [email protected]; Intermediate: [email protected]; Tee Ball: [email protected])

3. Registration is now closed and we are thrilled with our fall total of 352 players! We’re working hard this week to form teams, build the practice and game schedule, get uniforms printed, provision coaches with equipment, and much much more. We can always use more volunteers – please let me know if you are able to help out.

4. As a reminder, every family must review this Fall’s COVID Protocols. The one pager is here, ICYMI earlier in August. All COVID and Safety-related info will be reiterated prior to the start of practice.
