Game Results Blog / Concessions / Play Ball...

Parents,

A cool aspect of our website is our Game Results Blog.  If you’ve checked out the website you’ve probably already checked it out on the “Game Results” tab.   We need volunteers to do these little write-ups for each team.  It’s not hard, all you have to do is send an email to a special email address.  Here is a sample:

 

U10 Holt Green slaps Dansville Black 10 - 5

The Rams marched into Dansville to face the 1st place Dansville team.  Holt jumped out to an early 4 - 0 lead and were never threatened.  The boys scrapped and clawed for 5 intense innings against an Aggie squad full of experience.  The Rams hope to continue the good play Wednesday at home against Williamston

 

Check out the Game Results tab on our website for more examples from last year.  Some coaches like doing these themselves, but most are very busy with their coaching duties and wouldn’t mind help with this.  The kids LOVE reading about their team.  Even if they lose, there is usually a positive spin you can write about with encouragement for the next game!  If you would like to do this for  your team and have good writing skills please ask your coach if anyone else is doing it for your team.  If there isn’t, contact me and I’ll get you the necessary information.  As of right now, only TWO teams have Game Result Bloggers identified (and one is me).  Don’t deny your team some easy and fun recognition. 

 

Concessions:

We are looking for volunteers to work in the concession stand this year.  It would be nice to get at least 4 families from each team to volunteer a time slot.  Please don’t leave 90% of the work to the 10% of us who volunteer!  Contact Rachelle Shuler (jira_shuler@sbcglobal.net ) to sign up for a shift.  Thanks!! 

 

Speaking of concessions, you can also help out the program by making purchases at the stand.  Most of the items are $1.00 such as Hotdogs, Popcorn, Pop, Water, Candy, Ice Cream, Snow Cones, and Coffee or Hot Chocolate on cool days.  For even less than a buck you can get Sunflower Seeds, Chips, Suckers, Airheads, and Gum.  Large size Powerades  are also available for $1.50.  Are you rushed getting to the ball field on time?  Eat dinner at the game. What’s better than a Hot Dog at a baseball game?? You can’t beat the price!

 

Let’s play ball…
