Good Luck Down the Home Stretch
Wishing all our teams well as they wrap up league play and wind down the summer schedule. It was a crazy season, and the biggest victory was likely just finding a way to play a competitive schedule safely. Player development is an ongoing process, so keep after it. Fall baseball and winter training options are plentiful, and we hope your player takes advantage of those as we all work to provide a great experience for your player while continuing to build baseball skills, teamwork, and a well respected organization.
See you at the ballpark.

We're Hiring Field Setup Crew Members
Teenagers, who are you looking to make some extra spending money? We have just the job for you. We need field setup crew members to set up the field prior to games. The schedule is flexible in that you select the games you are available to do the set up. The work is pretty simple and takes around and hour. Daily tasks include removing tarps from fields, dragging/raking infield dirt, chalking the batters box/baselines, emptying the trash cans and light bathroom cleaning/stocking. We also have bathroom deep cleaning shifts that pay a little extra.
