On Saturday, February 21, there will be a Coaching Clinic put on by nationally famous Al & Al. Sponsored by our own District, this is an incredible opportunity for all Managers and Coaches (and wannabes) to improve their coaching skills. The Clinic will take place at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, 2801 SW 12th Street, Fort Lauderdale, 33312. There will be two separate sessions, and each team need attend only one. The morning session, which runs from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., is for minors, majors and juniors managers and coaches. The afternoon session, which runs from 12:30 to 4:30, is for tee-ball and coach-pitch.

We have completed posting the Team Sites and Team Game Schedules for the 2004 season. Find your team (by clicking on Teams at the right), and then check out your schedule!

Our Opening Day Celebration will be this Sunday, February 8, at Mishcon Field. Players should meet their Managers in uniform in the left field area no later than 12 noon. The procession onto the field will begin at 12:30 sharp, so don't be late!! We'll have fun, games and food for all, and maybe a special guest or two, so come on out and have a good time!

By Sunday evening, January 18, the teams for the 2004 North Miami Beach Optimist Little League will have been selected. Those of you that registered early and went to tryouts can expect a call early next week from your new manager. Those of you who signed up late, or missed all three days of tryouts may be placed on a waiting list. We will let you know what your chances are of being placed on a team. Of course, if you do not want to wait, you will receive a full refund of your registration fee. Remember, it doesn't matter how good you are; everyone makes a team, and everyone plays every game!

Our registration days on December 6 and 7 were a huge success, with close to 200 baseball players coming by Mishcon to register. If you missed it, you've still got time to register, until our evaluations on January 10 and 11. See the story below for more info on specific times. If you can send your registration in before December 31, you'll save ten bucks, so hurry!
