Baseball Bash

Schedule
The Baseball/Softball Blast for this year is scheduled for Sunday, May 15th. We play the Angels at 2:45 on field #7. The town of Cary asks us to please make sure to keep the following things in mind:

-GAME TIME IS START TIME

-Coaches should plan on having their team at the field 1-hour prior to the start of their game to allow time for team & individual photos and reporting to the tower. That means we need to arrive on field #7 at 1:45

-Each team is automatically scheduled a session with their league photographer 1-hour prior to the scheduled game time. Our photographer is scheduled to be on field 7. (team & individual photos are not required and there is no obligation to use the photographers we have partnered with), although we do want to get a team picture. Team photographer Elizabeth Angel, please bring your camera.

-Game Time has priority over scheduled photo sessions.

-The head coach for each team will be required to check-in at the tower no later than 30-minutes prior to game time to receive their Information packet and any additional instructions needed for the day.

-Coaches will need to have a parent or assistant coach, with a team roster, sent to the tower 10-minutes prior to game time to announce the line-ups for their team. (announcing the line-ups should include each child's name on the team, their number for the day, and name of the head coach. having an enthusiastic announcer is a plus). We are looking for a volunteer to do that.
