Pre-Season Tournament Begins This Weekend!

Thanks for a great practice on Monday night! We sincerely appreciate all the help we've been receiving from all of you, especially those of you who have joined us on the filed in a coaching capacity. Keeping five-year-olds occupied and interested is quite a chore, and we couldn't do it without you!

Tonight will be our final pre-season practice, and our pre-season tournament officially begins this Saturday at 1:00 PM. We'll be playing at Central Park, on Field 8. Please plan to arrive at 12:40, and be sure to dress your child in his Bennett Park uniform. The tournament is really more of a pre-season scrimmage, but it will give us a great opportunity to see how far we've come in the few weeks that we've been able to practice. The games will run for roughly one hour, and a cap of five runs per inning has been put in place to keep things fair for both teams.

Our second (and final) pre-season tournament game will be held Monday night at 6:00 PM. That game will be played at Central Park, as well, and we'll be on Field 8. Please plan to arrive at 5:40 for that game.

Our regular season will begin during the week of March 23rd. Final scheduling details are still being worked out, and we should have our schedule soon. We'll be sure to keep you updated as we receive more information.

Finally, please note Donna Grindle's e-mail yesterday regarding the team t-shirt fundraiser. The t-shirts are $10 each, and will feature all of our boys' names on the back, with a Bennett Park logo and other information on the front. This is an excellent opportunity for us to show our team pride while helping to improve our park at the same time. Please see Donna tonight at practice if you'd like to purchase a t-shirt. According to her e-mail yesterday, she'll be "the one with the clip board." (Thanks Donna!!)

Thanks again to all of you for your support so far. We're looking forward to a great season. Don't forget that practice will be held tonigt from 5:30 until 6:30 at Bennett Park. See you all there!
