Baseball

T-Shirts were ordered today. Price is 13 dollars. If you want to pay me at the fields is fine on Thursday when I will be there or you can send it to me.

Out team pictures that the parents took at the next to last game will be in the Suburban Journal like they were last year at some point coming up the future.

As I said yesterday, it is hard to accomplish 2 back-to-back titles like we did. Way to go Sox!

A reminder from the IYA Association for parents. No outside food or beverages can be brought into the IYA Fields. Players may bring in water or sports drinks, but they must be kept in the dugout at all times.

1.  All players need to keep ALL equipment in our dugout. Players are NOT allowed to roam around and sit and visit in the stands during the game.

2.  Use the restroom BEFORE the game!

3.  All things spoken aloud in the dugout are POSITIVE and UPBEAT to one another. Negative remarks will NOT be tolerated!

4.  Keep your sport drink OR water in the dugout at all times.

5.  KNOW the lineup and substitution board. If you cannot keep track of where you are, you may not play the remainder of the game.

6.  Keep the dugout clean and help pick up trash as soon as the game is over.

7.  We will meet in the outfield after each game to talk and go over game.

8.  We run onto and off of the field between innings.

9.  DO NOT eat sweets on game day. It zaps the energy from you that you need! Someone bring me some M & M's to practice and I'll prove it!
