Spring Season News and Notes
We hope that everyone has enjoyed the start of our spring season, which already is nearing its midpoint. As we look ahead to the remainder of the season, we wanted to share some items and reminders:
- Rookie Day at Welles: On June 21, in the morning, we will play Rookie ball on as many fields at Welles as possible as part of our celebration of our youngest players. We encourage our community to come out and support our Rookies!
- House Playoffs: For all levels above Rookie baseball, playoff schedules should be published by mid-June. Playoffs will begin June 23; no games the weekend of July 4, and we will come back for Championship Week the week of July 7. Because of the way the calendar falls this year, there will be weekday playoff games.
- Games at Welles 6 – When there are games at Welles 6, please do not walk through the outfield. Our oldest hitters are capable of hitting balls all the way to Welles 2 (Juniors) or Welles 4 (Rookie). If you cross the outfield, you are in the field of play, and it creates a hazard for you and our players.
- Park Rules: Please remember that when you are in the parks, park rules related to alcohol, public behavior and littering apply. Please do your part to keep our parks safe, friendly and clean.
- Photo Makeups for house players: If your house player missed their photo day, please show up dressed in uniform – and with your bat – to the Welles Park grass behind the field house on June 21 exact time TBD (rain location: Welles fieldhouse). Stay tuned for more details.
- Memorial Day Tournaments: Good luck to our travel teams who have Memorial Day tournaments this weekend.
- 12U Cooperstown Auction. There are some great items up for auction to support the 12U travel baseball teams’ trip to Cooperstown this summer. Check the items out HERE. The auction closes May 22 at 9p CT.
- Fall Ball: Hard to believe but, we are already working on Fall Ball. More to come soon, but start thinking about team formation and making room in your family schedule. Registration will open June 9.
