Big Stick Cardinals Baseball Club Latest.....

Big Stick Cardinals Baseball Family,

SPAA Manager Meeting - Monday
On Monday, I attend a Manager's meeting for SPAA. One of the things I have to submit are the days that we have scheduling issues. All games are scheduled Monday-Friday.

The season starts the week of April 19th and will run into mid-July. I wanted to know if there are any dates of conflict for you. If you could let me know by Sunday night I will try and see if those dates can be avoided.

Uniforms & Bat Bags
I have placed the uniform order. They should be ready early April.
The bat bags are in already!

Practice Schedule
I am still leaning towards practicing on Sunday nights this season at Strehl. I hope that field availability will be ok on that night. SPAA feels it will be. They have 5 fields so hopefully we will be able to get on. I'm going to run practice each Sunday from 5:30 - 7:00 PM. Everyone seems to be good with that date. Practice will begin March 28th. It truly is the only realistic time to practice.

Tournaments
Another thing I want everyone to begin thinking about is how many tournaments we are going to play in. There are around 12 tournaments locally that we could play in between April-September. Tournaments cost between $275-$400 per team. As long as we have at least 10 kids that want to play in these tournaments we can roll into them. However, I never want to spend your money without your consent. I'll get out a tournament schedule to look at in the upcoming weeks so that we can give that some consideration. We could play any where from 0-12 tournaments. I'm crazy enough I'd play in all 12, but this is a team decision, so I will get all the details out later this month.

All for now. See everyone on the 15th of March for batting practice. NO BATTING PRACTICE THIS MONDAY.

Pray softly and carry a BIG STICK!
Coach Tom
