This Sunday Cancelled and Tryout Info
Hi all!
Well, the gym workouts have been a fun experience for me, and I hope the same is true for the kids.
Sunday's session is cancelled, mainly due to Easter commitments.

So, it's time to move on to tryouts!
 
First, I have some exciting news to share, related to our tryouts.
Jeff Healey has decided to run a Mosquito Select program this year.  This means that any players not chosen for the Rep team will have the opportunity to participate on Jeff's team.
Although the details for that team's plans are not complete, the season will entail some practices, exhibition games, and tournaments, over and above house league participation.
The select program will further develop players and offer opportunity for more competition for those players and families involved.
Please keep this in mind, should your child not be selected for the Rep team.
 
For our tryouts:
Please arrive 15 minutes before each tryout session.  Time and space at Centrefield is very expensive, and we want to make use of every minute.
Please bring all baseball equipment (glove, rubber cleats, running shoes, bat, helmet) and a water bottle.
Before the first session, each player will be assigned a numbered shirt.  The evaluators will know the kids by number during the sessions.
I have several in each size.  This shirt can be worn over another T-Shirt, or on its own, but it will be worn for all three sessions.
See Val for your T-Shirt, and to pay the $40 tryout fee. (Fees go to pay for use of the facility) 
 
Questions....fire away!
Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday at Centrefield!
