Summer Program
Not going to be doing All-Stars, we will focus on All-Players with our summer pick-up games.
Meghan Thoerig will create a sign-up genius for coaches/parents willing to coach for safety. Let the kids pick teams, create batting order. All for fun, “coaches” to ensure the teams are evenly distributed. Play on the team where you will be in the fall.
Concessions for the summer games? Cooler for drinks?
Does the insurance still cover for the All-Players?
Waiver for the players to sign for each game per game?
Background checks?
