Diamonds Update

Hello everyone,
Wow! Are we off to a great start or what? As great as it is to be 3-0, the results we see as coaches from the little things that our kids are willing to do to put it place at a game impresses us more than anything. I am very pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoying teaching this group of kids who really want to learn more about how baseball is really played.

For the next couple of weeks, there are some things that you need to be aware of as it relates to games, practices, etc.

Thursday May 29 - game at Oostburg Veterans Park. P&R at 4:45 or Vets Park by 5:05 - let me know if you are not meeting at the P&R

Following that game, I will be out of town until Sunday June 8th.

We will continue to have Saturday optional drop in practice at South High from 9-11 on May 31st and June 7th. However, Coach Aicher from the U11 Diamonds will be conducting these practices. Feel free to drop in and get some extra hitting and fielding practice with Coach A. Please check the 11 year old message instead of our message on the hotline (by pressing 22 instead of 44) for any updates due to weather or other cancellations.

On Monday June 2, we'll have our home opener. The game is at Kuehne Court and we ask that all the kids be at the park at 5:00 for warm-ups and batting practice. Coach Johnson will be running the team in my absence. We'll need some additional help on the bench and scorekeeping and please make sure you give Coach all the support you give me.

Thursday June 5, we will have MANDATORY practice at South High from 5-7. Coach Johnson will run this practice as well.

If you have any issues, please communicate them to me before Friday or feel free to call me on my cell phone while I am gone and I will pass them along to Coach Johnson as necessary.

GO DIAMONDS!
