As we thought might be the case, Forsyth County Parks & Recreation has cancelled all outdoor activities for tomorrow, including our Opening Day Ceremonies and team pictures. As yet, the pictures have not been rescheduled, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as they are.
So sorry to miss out on seeing everyone tomorrow, especially since we were so looking forward to a great scrimmage game against the other five-year-old team, but we'll certainly look forward to seeing you all again next Monday at 5:30 (field 3!).
Have a great weekend...and try to stay dry!

Practice Cancelled - February 18
As we thought might be the case, Forsyth County Parks & Recreation has cancelled all outdoor activities for today, including our practice for this evening. So sorry to miss out on seeing everyone this evening, but we'll certainly look forward to seeing you all again next Monday at 5:30 (field 3!).
See everyone next week!

See everyone next week!

Practice Notes: February 18
Just a quick reminder, our second team practice will be held tonight from 5:30 until 6:30 at Bennett Park field #3. Please note that the practice schedule this week will continue for the next couple of weeks. We'll try to practice until 7:00 on Mondays, but only until 6:30 on Wednesdays - weather/cold permitting.
Speaking of weather...you may have noticed that the weather today is somewhat less than spectacular. When the weather threatens, we rely on the Forsyth Parks & Rec department to handle practice and game cancellations. The Parks & Rec department has set up a hotline with recorded messages to keep us updated on cancellations, postponements, and more. That number is (770) 886-2851. Please call before heading out to practice tonight, especially if things are looking dicey.
With the weather out of the way, we'd like to thank you all for a great first practice. The boys did an excellent job of listening, and managed to stay focused for almost a full hour...no small accomplishment when you're talking about 4 and 5-year-olds!
Also, we'd like to thank David Wood for stepping in as an assistant coach on Monday. Please know that any and all parents who would like to help out at practice are more than welcome to do so. If you'd like to serve as an assistant during games, we'll need you to fill out a background check with the Parks & Rec department. Just let one of us know, and we'll point you in the right direction!
Thanks again, everyone. Weather permitting, we'll see you all tonight!

Welcome to BPBroncoBlog!
Hello parents! Welcome to BPBroncoBlog, your home for the Spring 2009 Bennett Park Broncos. Here you'll find news, highlights, schedules, and team information for the Spring 2009 Bennett Park Broncos. Coach Kyle and Coach Brian will update this blog regularly to keep family and friends of the Broncos up-to-date with our team's activities. Check back frequently, or click on the "Subscribe Me!" icon below to receive instant updates when we publish a new message. We're looking forward to a great season!
We'll start our posts with a bit of background on our coaches, as well as our schedule for the pre-season.
Coach Kyle
My wife, Amanda, and I have one son, Griffin (4), and two daughters, Brylee (8), and Aubrey (8 months). I’m looking forward to a great season, and to developing our team's skills. First and foremost, we’ll be focusing on the fundamentals of baseball, but we’ll be placing a special emphasis on teamwork, cooperation, and – most importantly – fun!
Coach Brian
Coach Brian is a lifelong baseball fan, and is looking forward to working with our team to develop the solid fundamentals that are the hallmark of great baseball players. Brian and his wife, Holly, have two sons, Christopher (5), and Matthew (2).
Practice Schedule
Practice will be held Monday and Wednesday nights from 5:30 - 7:00 at Bennett Park, Field #3.
Practice begins Monday, February 16th. Our final practice will be Wednesday, March 11th.
Pre-Season Tournament
Our team will be participating in a pre-season tournament during the week of March 13 - 20, and our games will most likely fall during the weekend of the 14th.
Opening Day Ceremonies
As an exciting kick-off to the season, Bennett Park will host an Opening Day Ceremony on Sunday, February 28th, beginning at 1:00. Opening day will be a fun-filled day of team pictures and scrimmage games. The Atlanta Braves organization will also be on-hand with giveaways and prizes. Additionally, our team will receive its official game uniforms. You won’t want to miss it!
Uniforms, Equipment, Etc.
While uniforms, hats, and belts will be provided by the league, your child will need to supply his own glove, bat, and batting helmet. If you need any assistance in purchasing any of these items, please contact James Parks at jparks@forsythco.com, or (770) 781-2215. All that’s required of you as a team parent is to provide a loving, supportive environment for our boys to grow as individuals and as a team.
In the coming weeks, we’ll also be searching for a Team Director. This individual will be responsible for coordinating snack lists, maintaining team schedules and statistics, as well as managing the several fundraising efforts supported by Bennett Park throughout the season. If you’re interested in serving in this capacity, we'd love to hear from you.
Inclement Weather
Games may be postponed, re-scheduled, or cancelled due to inclement weather. If the weather is threatening, please call the Forsyth County Parks & Recreation Department's Inclement Weather Line at (770) 886-2851, or click here. Cancelled games will be re-scheduled as necessary, and new game times will be posted here as soon as we have information.
Thanks!
