Mad River Updates

Updated Game Schedule   Please review the REVISED schedule (ver 6.6 dated April 30, emailed May 1 and posted on this site today) as there have been subtle changes to the previous schedule. City fields are still not open and flexibility with field usage has been tricky due to weddings scheduled at Scotia, doubleheader high school games scheduled on Saturdays, and game rescheduling due to school events and more! The May 5th doubleheader is still planned for Newburg fields, however, "Plan B" is already in progress in the event the city still has not prepared the fields. Coaches, please make sure your players are properly informed about the changes as not all players have digital/electronic access. Parents and players, in the event you have a scheduling conflict with any of the games, please let your coach know immediately! If enough players are not available for a scheduled contest, we will do our best to reschedule.

Opening Day Action at Scotia! 
Fundraiser  Also, we have launched a Pampered Chef fundraising campaign. If you have yet to commit to this fundraiser, Mad River parent, Chris Valk, is leading the charge with this. She can be reached via email at: cpsmilling@yahoo.com. Remember that funds raised will be used to upgrade program equipment and uniforms, as well as help to pay for practice facilities and umpires. Note that some of the practice locations charge up to $20 an hour for usage.

Pitching Clinic  Finally, Sunday, May 6th, we will be hosting a $5 pitching clinic at Arcata High School. Ten and under players will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 14u players will be hosted from 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. If you have not yet RSVP-ed for this event, please do so at your earliest convenience! Thank you!
