Update

Hello again everyone,

Just a quick note (as if I can write one of those :) to update you on some things:

1) Winter work out schedules have been determined. We will have open drop in (optional) for hitting practice on Mondays from 4-5:30 and Thursdays from 5-6:30. The hitting facility is located at 4315 South Taylor Drive. Next to MEE Material Handling, south end of building. This is south of Wal Mart on Taylor Drive. Please note that the first open practice time will be THURSDAY JANUARY 31st at 5:00. Then we will fall into the normal Monday-Thursday routine. I will need some coaching help - so if you're interested, please let me know ahead of time.Notes: If you are planning on coming to these sessions, please make sure you use your bathroom before coming as the port-o-potty has not yet been delivered. In addition, it is somewhat cold in the facility so I recommend wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt and batting gloves if you have them. Cups are also required or kids will not be able to participate. Do not wear spikes - please wear tennis or gym shoes.

2) From now on, please check the hotline 467-0252 for updates/cancellations. When the phone picks up and the general message begins playing, please press 44 to listen to our team message. Please do not press any other buttons as it can cause havoc with the answering machine. If you cannot get through to the hotline, you can also check Coach Yonan's blog on the webpage (http://www.sheboyganbaseball.org/diamonds/index.html) and then choose the U11/12 Home Page and then Coach Yonan's Blog. (The practice schedule and other important info is also posted on our website).

3) For those of you still wanting to order clothing, the deadline is January 31st. If you order by then, we can guarantee delivery prior to the season openers. Although we will open up the clothing sale again at uniform distribution in April, delivery is usually a little sketchy at that point. I have attached clothing forms to this email. If you can't open the documents, go to the webpage and open them there.

4) If you're interested in the Dello Clinic, remember that deadline for signup is Feb 12th.

As usual, any questions, please let me know.
