Parents' Meeting, Equipment Swap, planned for March 27
SOUTHBRIDGE — Building on last year's successful parents meeting as the build-up to the baseball season continues, the Southbridge Little League will be holding its divisional parents meeting at the end of the month.
This year's meeting will be held on Saturday, March 27 at the Southbridge Community Center (a.k.a. The Armory), 153 Chestnut Street, right next to Morris Street field.
The meeting will cover the Grand Slam raffle ticket fund-raiser (a big success last year), uniforms, game schedules, other league events, and more. The parents and players will be able to meet the coaches of their 2010 team during this meeting as well.
In addition to the meeting, the league is also sponsoring a baseball equipment swap as well. We know times are tough and getting a new pair of cleats or replacing that baseball glove that went missing after last season may be easier said than done. We also know there are many parents out there whose garage, attic, and other rooms of the house are cluttered with bits and pieces of equipment that is doing nothing but collecting dust. Parents and players are encouraged to bring any used baseball equipment that can be passed on to someone else who may be in need. These items include bats, gloves, and cleats, though other items may be helpful as well. Jock straps and cups will not be taken in.
The division-by-division schedule for the day is as follows:
Junior/Senior Leagues: 9 a.m.
Major Division: 10 a.m.
AAA Division: 11 a.m.
AA Division: 12 noon
Minor Division: 1 p.m.
Tee Ball: 2 p.m.
If you have any questions about the parents meeting and equipment swap, please contact a member of the Board of Directors.
