Hello again everyone,
We have secured some extra practice time at North High for the following Saturdays:
April 5, 12, 19 from 1:30 -3:00 in the Raider Gym.
We will be running throwing, fielding, and hitting drills during that time and sharing the gym with 3 other Diamonds teams. I will not be at practice on the 5th, but Coach Johnson will run our practice for us.
As usual, these practices are optional. However, we are getting close to the time that when we go outside for practice, those practices will be mandatory. Everything is dependent on the weather, but we're hopefully shooting for the week of April 21st to be outside.

Spring Training Back ON!
Hello everyone,
Spring Training is Back On!
After last night's Diamonds board meeting, we came up with a plan that will allow us to keep practicing until the snow melts (ok - I'm being hopeful on that) - this will actually take us until the middle of April.
We will start practicing indoors at Pigeon River School on Wednesday nights from 5-7 in the gym. Please continue to wear cups and tennis shoes and bring bats and most definitly your baseball gloves as we will start doing throwing and fielding drills.
Here are the dates that we will be practicing:
March 19th
April 2nd
April 9th
April 16th.
There will be no practices during spring break.
We are also looking at a few Saturday afternoons in April (the 5th, 12th, and 19th) to use the high school's indoor batting cages. More details will follow on this.
As usual, these next 4 Wednesday indoor practices are optional.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or drop me an e-mail.
Hope to see you all at Pigeon River in the next 5 weeks!

Hitting Facility Leased
Hello everyone,
I have some bad news to report. The owner of the hitting facility (who was kind enough to let us use it for free while it was empty) has leased out the building effectivie Monday.
Therefore, our last scheduled practice until further notice will be tonight, Thursday March 6th from 5-6:30 PM.
The Diamonds board is meeting on Monday night to discuss other options and what we might do until the snow melts. I will keep you informed as more details become available.
Please tell your kids that even though hitting practice is being suspended, there are still things they I have told them that they can do in a mirror or in the basement that will keep them remembering what we've taught them.
