Dear Parents,
The Holt Jr. Rams Baseball Board of Directors is pleased to announce the following changes and enhancements for the 2010 season.
Two new levels of competitive play
In an effort to give our kids an opportunity to have a longer season, and to be more competitive, we are introducing a three tier program. Our Tier-1 teams will be the same as last year and have the same cost; however we will now be offering Tier-2 and Tier-3 teams. These teams will play more tournament games and have indoor practice time in March. We will make as many Tier-2 and Tier-3 teams as we can based on player interest and coach availability. You will be asked on the registration form which tier you would like your child to be considered for. This is your opportunity to let us know at what level we should take the HJRB program. If you are comfortable with the number of games we offered the last few years then stick with Tier-1, but if you want more from the program let us know by selecting Tier-2 or Tier-3. Our website has much more information.
Earlier player evaluations
Player evaluations will take place towards the end of January for the coming season. This will allow us to form teams and select coaches in February. This is important, especially to our Tier-2 and Tier-3 teams, as they will start practicing in March.
Online registration and payment
This year we will be offering online registration on our new website. This will make it faster and easier for you to register and also reduce the amount of information that our volunteers need to manually key in (and also reducing data entry errors). We will also be offering online payments by credit cards or debit cards. This will be via a Google checkout; HJRB will not collect any card numbers. Online registration should be available starting in December.
Registration Reduction Program
Another exciting program that I hope everyone takes full advantage of is our Registration Reduction Program. This is simply asking you guys to try to secure a corporate sponsor or two. This could be your employer or any businesses you wish to solicit. Then 15% of any sponsor donations you secure will be used to reduce your child’s player registration fee. This could be a huge savings opportunity for you! You can start this program today. Don’t wait or someone else may contact any businesses you have in mind before you!!
Sponsorship Recognition Program / Sponsorship Drive
In order to help you entice sponsors to donate money to HJRB, we have put together a very comprehensive sponsorship recognition program. We want to do all we can to give our sponsors the recognition they deserve for any generous donations. This includes website recognition and advertising, ball field signage, team and ball field sponsorships, and a lot more.
This email is just a “teaser”. To find out more information about all these topics, and to get a sneak peak at the Parent Information Sheet that will go out to the schools soon, you must visit our website at www.hjrb.org .
Thanks,
