Hello Players and Parents,

Sorry for not "blogging" sooner. Its been a little hectic in the Yonan household these days. Just a bit of advice for everyone - snowboarding is not fun, unless you consider broken clavicles "fun".

For those of you who attended the Tony Dello clinic this past weekend, I think it was a worthwhile experience and I hope all of you learned something. And understand why when we have regular practices we try to teach the same things.

Other Diamonds notes:
  • If you haven't picked up your pre-sale brat fry tickets or signed up for your time to work at the fry on April 19th, please contact our team mom Julie Versey as soon as possible - julieversey@yahoo.com. Please hang onto the money you collect for your tickets and bring it with you on the day of the fry. If you need extra tickets, please let me know.
  • The Lakeshore League scheduling meeting is set for March 25th. Hopefully after that we will have a better plan on regular season games.
  • Sunday April 13th will be uniform distribution date. At that time, your final payment of $75 will be due (if you have not made full payment). In order to receive your uniform at that time, you must sign up for your A's concession stand times first at this time, so please bring your calendars along. We will also have a brief parent meeting at this time to discuss outdoor practice schedules.

Our next scheduled practice is Thursday February 28th from 5-6:30 at the hitting facility.

Hello everyone,
I received a call from the Howards Grove Tournament Organizers this past weekend and they have indicated that the tournament dates have been moved to June 20-22 instead of the 27-29 originally indicated. Please change your schedules accordingly.
Sorry for any inconveniences, but at least we know far enough in advance!

Also, here's to getting back at it after our cancellation last week -optional practice tonight Monday February 18th from 4-5:30. Please be careful in the parking lot with all the ice.

Hello 11 and 12 year old Diamonds Players and Parents

Our next scheduled workout is Thursday February 14th from 5-6:30 PM. Hope to see you all there.

Last call for Tony Dello Hitting Clinic - if you still want to attend, please let me know - as long as I have payment by Monday 2/18, you can get in!

In addition to all the instuctional skills you are learning as part of the 11/12 year old team, we also are going to provide some additional benefits. Although there are no guarantees that you will play on our state league teams, we are going to roster all of you on the WSL teams in case they have shortages of players. As your skills improve and Coach Aicher or Coach Fenner call me for potential "call ups", I will recommend getting some of you up there.

In order to facilitate this and get you on the roster, I will need to have birth certificates on file, report cards from your last grading period and a WSL registration form filled out. I will be e-mailing you this information and you can either drop off the forms or scan them on the computer and send them to me electronically.
