All,

Uniforms are in; intimidating Purple shirts with purple socks and grey pants. I will be giving them out at Friday night’s practice. If you cannot attend practice on Friday, please let me know when you can pick up your uniform from my house so your child will have it for the parade on Saturday morning.

Last Friday, we spent a significant portion of the practice going over the force play as well as what to do as a baserunner if there is a popup. Please go over this with your child during the week. Once they get it, they get it, but it takes some time.

Also, please let them know that they don’t have to swing at every pitch. In Coach Pitch, they are typically taught to swing at everything, so there will be some adjustments for them. The strike zone is not just the plate; for the width: it’s the inside batter’s box to the inside of the other batter’s box, for the height: it’s basically shin to chin.

Also, as you have seen, our scrimmage is cancelled for today due to field conditions.

Nick
