2013 Summer Baseball Camp

Hello all.  The Holt Varsity Baseball program is putting on their summer camp again this year.  See below and see the PDF attached for more information.  This is run entirely by the Varsity baseball program (not Jr. Rams) but I encourage you to participate if you can.  They do a great job.

PLEASE READ!

I know many of you are ready to be finished with baseball, and many are taking vacations, some are still playing in the tournament (including my boy) but I really need help for Saturday and Sunday for field prep. I got exactly two response to my last email, both HJRB board members who already have given up a lot of their time this season to help run this organization.  

 

Please - I only need maybe 6 people for field prep. We have over 200 families in this organization so I hope at least a few step up. If you've never helped, perhaps this is your turn! 
 

Please only respond if you can help. 

 

Thanks,

Brian Kayser, President

Subject: Last call for volunteers

This is most likely our last call for volunteers this season.  As many of you are aware, we are hosting many games for the Mid-Michigan PONY End of Season tournament.  Mid-Michigan (Mason) PONY runs this tournament but they do not have enough fields so we let them use our fields each year.  

 

I was tasked with hiring umpires for all 35 games.  For the Monday thru Friday games we have Delhi Parks and Rec prep the fields as they have done for us all season.  But this coming weekend I will need field prep volunteers.  

 

This can be anyone.  Someone who has done it in the past would be great.  It is a great task for those kids needing National Honor Society hours next year also!!  

 

I need help with field prep Saturday 7/13 and Sunday 7/14.

 

Saturday would be from 8am until 5:30pm.  Choose all day or one of these shifts (8am - noon and/or Noon - 5:30)

 

Sunday from 8:30am until 3pm.  

 

CONCESSIONS

We could also use concession stand volunteers as well for the weekend.

Fall Leagues / Uniforms

Parents,

A lot of our kids and coaches participate in fall leagues each year (such as Charlotte’s Wooden Bat League) so I’d like to communicate the stance of HJRB with regards to it.  If a team is composed primarily of Holt/Dimondale kids then we will allow the teams to be called Holt Jr. Rams.  

However, just so you know, we do not run these leagues.  Most importantly the HJRB board does not put together teams for these leagues.  We do not select coaches and we do not provide any funding for the teams.  Any coach or parent can opt to sign up a team, participate and coach.   These coaches can then select their own team however they want, whoever they want.  It is their team. 

I mainly point this out to avoid confusion.  This is post season play that we encourage but we do not organize the teams in any way.  Getting asked to play on one of these teams is completely up to the coaches putting together the teams.  If your current coach is putting together a wooden bat team, don’t assume your son will be asked to play on it, and please don’t take it personal if they don’t.  We don’t allow coaches to hand pick their teams during the regular season but they can here and many times it is based on close friendships, player ability or positions needed, etc, … and there are only so many slots. 

I honestly don’t know all the coaches and kids planning on participating, but I’m sure there will at least be a few teams.  The only thing I can offer is if your boy is interested but does not know of a team, email me and I’ll keep a list.  If there are any coaches looking for extra players, email me and I’ll share the list of kids looking for a team. 

 

IMPORTANT : We are not  allowing our jerseys to be used for fall play!! This is extra wear and tear and a lot more work tracking down who has and hasn’t turned them in.  You must turn in your Jersey and belt by July 29.   Any fall league teams need to provide their own jerseys even if they are using the Holt Jr. Rams name.  

** If you have played your last game and didn’t turn in your Jersey and belt to your coach let me know and we’ll work out a plan to get it from you. 

 

Thanks,

Brian Kayser, President
