2009 Fall Ball

Good evening,

Fall baseball for boys and girls playing minors next year is moving forward. A minimum of three clinics will be held and will begin on Saturday, September 13 at 1:00 p.m. We will go every Saturday in September and then go week by week according to interest and weather. I personally am unavailable on October 3 if the Cardinals are still in the playoff race since I have tickets that weekend.

The clinic will introduce children to pitching, facing live pitching from peers, the use of hardballs, and the rules of minors. The clinics are geared toward kids entering minors for the first time next year, but kids who played this year and will return are also invited. The clinics will involve stationwork and the plan is to play simulated games if there is enough interest.

The suggested donation is $15, which guarantees a T-shirt. No child will be turned away based on inability to pay as the league will find other avenues. Checks should be made out to Dubuque Little League. Kids should bring their gloves and boys should wear a cup now that we are using the hard balls. All other equipment will be provided.

All children must complete the attached registration form and return it to me at mcgarr613@msn.com or at 2209 St. John Drive, Dubuque, IA 52002 before Labor Day.

All children who did not compete on a Dubuque Little League Pee Wee or Minors team must complete a medical release form, available at http://dubuquelittleleague.berserkerproductions.com/Medical_Release_Form.pdf

Please forward this message to any of your Pee Wee players advancing to Minors. If you prefer not to, please let me know so I can contact them.

Also, volunteers remain greatly appreciated, so just let me know. There are bound to be growing pains since this is the first time we are doing this, but I remain encouraged this is a nice option for those wanting to play more baseball.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Matt
