UPDATED -- 2014 SLL Fall Ball - Week One Schedule

Happy Labor Day weekend to our SLL families!

I hope everyone settled in to their first week back to school and had fun exploring new classrooms and meeting new classmates.

As mentioned in previous communications, the weekly schedule will be updated here each Sunday with the times and locations for the coming week's games and practices.

Please subscribe to the blog to make sure you receive the information as soon as possible.

Housekeeping:  
 - Uniforms will be distributed at the end of the week.  Players will receive Fall Ball shirts and hats.  To complete the uniform, please make sure to have grey pants, green socks*, and a green belt.  

*Last year, players elected to wear pink socks in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.  WICKED! The boys totally ROCKED their PINK socks and created quite the buzz.

 - As the seasons change, it will get chilly out there, especially for morning and evening games.  Come prepared!  Have a jacket or sweatshirt available and wear a long sleeved shirt under your team jersey as you are not allowed to cover your team jersey while on the field.

 - Stay hydrated!  Even if it's not blazing hot, you need to stay hydrated.  Make sure to have a enough to drink to last throughout the game.

 - Concessions and Fan Gear!  It is our hope to offer concessions at the Burgess Bullpen for our weekend games.  We may have a slightly limited menu, but will surely have beverages, snacks, and hot dogs.  We will also be offering a selection of SLL fan gear this season!  We will be taking orders for sweatshirts, jackets, polo shirts, long sleeved t-shirts, and other SLL items.  Stay tuned for more information!

CHALLENGE:  I know most all of you are aware of and have perhaps participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  Kudos to you!  I am putting out this CHALLENGE to our SLL Fall Ball families ...

You have 15 days to donate $5 per player to the SLL ALS Ice Bucket Challenge fund.  If we raise $250 by September 15, 2014, we will have a group ice bucket dump and in turn nominate all our competing fall ball towns to do the same.  If successful, we could raise a considerable amount of money for ALS!

So, let's DO THIS!  Donations should be made in cash and handed in to your Manager or directly to me.  I will update the blog with our progress - let's see how quickly we can get to $250!

And now, what you've really all come to this page to see ... the SCHEDULE!
