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!
Again, welcome to the Bennett Park Broncos! Coach Brian and I are looking forward to a great season!

See you on the field...

Coach Kyle
