Spring is here and we are BACK on the diamond! Uniforms are on their way and will be distributed soon. Games start next week!
We will have one last day of clean up – Saturday 4/10/21. This will be the last chance for you to fulfill your field work bonds (4 hours for Rec) or your account will be charged $100 soon. We will be at the fields from 8am to 12pm and will be fixing mounds, bleachers, cleaning the Shack, etc. Remember - TBall only is exempt from the field work requirement.
TBall – Teams have been assigned and the schedule is out! Please log in to view your team assignment and schedule (go to the TEAM tab and navigate from there). All practices and games will be handled by your team manager.
Shack Work Bond Sign Up is now OPEN! Go to the homepage and click the SHACK tab and go to Shack Sign Up or you can click HERE. Each family has paid $30 upfront for this bond at the time of registration. If you sign up via the scheduler and work 3 hours, you will be refunded the $30. If you do not complete your Shack hours by June 5th, the bond will be considered paid and there will be no refund. If a session is rained out, the shack signups for that night will be cancelled, and those that were scheduled will have to find another available time. Don’t worry - -we will work with everyone to make sure they can work if they choose. Sign up early!! Remember - TBall only is exempt from the Shack work requirement.
As you do your spring cleaning and find old baseball gear, please remember that GB Baseball operates a FREE Equipment Exchange where parents of older players can donate gently used items that their player has outgrown to the next generation of baseball players. Parents (especially TBall and Coach Pitch) are encouraged to look through the items that have been donated before buying new equipment for the season. We often have bats, gloves, helmets, and cleats that are in great shape! We accept donations to the Exchange anytime the shack is open. Also, as you are spring cleaning or on your way to Field Clean Up, please drop off any items you come across that you aren't using anymore to help out the new parents in our League!
Opening Day weekend is scheduled for April 17th although we start games a few days sooner. Unfortunately, we will not have a parade/celebration again this year but we are hoping to possiblly do something at the end of the season. Stay safe!
Lastly, all payments were due. Players may not receive their jersey if there is an outstanding balance or arrangements have not been made.
Ready for warm temps, the sound of the bat, and the snack SHACK!
