Hello Cardinals!
On
behalf of Coach Nikki, Coach Chuck, Coach Joe, and myself – Congratulations on
being selected for Minors, and welcome to the Sturbridge Little League Minor Division Spring 2013 season!
Scott,
Devin, Evan, Joshua, Matt, Jameson, Tyler, Joseph, Connor, Matt, Alex, and Ben
…
ARE YOU READY?
Dig
out those gloves, dust off those cleats, and get in ready positions. This will be a season to remember!
Over
the next few months, practice and game schedules will be drafted and posted on
the official Sturbridge Little League website. You
should bookmark this page and check it periodically. In order to assist me in my communications to
you and your parents, I am asking for you to provide me with a preferred email
and phone number. It is very important
for me to have this information in case of changes to schedules, practice or
game cancellations, and other general League and team information.
To
assist the coaches in getting to know you better, we are asking you to complete
the attached Player Profile form. This
will give us an idea of how much fielding experience you have and what your
preferences may be as well as new positions you may want to explore.
PARENTS: A successful season requires everyone to be
involved as much as possible – this includes you! I’ve appointed my wife, Laura, as Parent
Coordinator and Bench Mom. She will
assist me in identifying areas where you, the parents, can get involved.
Currently,
I’m looking for volunteers to keep the Scorebook data each game. This is a “job” that requires a firm
commitment for each game as it requires some pre-game planning. Accurate record keeping helps us to reflect
on what works and what doesn’t as well as plan for future games.
In
the past few seasons, I have noticed many players are forgetting to bring
water. It is critical for players to
remain hydrated, especially in warmer temperatures. I’ve also noticed that more and more players
are looking for sunflower seeds and/or bubble gum during games. I would like to make the following proposal –
if each player would like to chip in $10 for the season, I will provide water,
seeds, and gum at each game. Give me
your feedback, is this a good idea? A
bad idea? Let me know …
That’s
all for now … start practicing and stay tuned for more information!
PLAY
BALL!
