March 2011. And we're off...

...if not quite running. With all this rain you'd think we live in a rainforest! Once again, the sky gods are frustrating our season's start with torrential rains. Though the forecast this week shows a little sunshine peeking through, we're anxiously on that dry stretch to get our fields open and playable. Stay tuned to this website for daily updates on field conditions, or call us at 822-3575 after 3pm for the latest news.

Pitching Clinics begin Friday, April 1st: Kelly Helms will once again lead our Friday night pitching clinics beginning this coming Friday. Clinics will be held at the Pacific Union Field. An n introductory clinic for pitchers with less than 3 years experience will be held from 5:00-6:00. Advanced pitchers, those with 3+ years of pitching will meet from 6:00-7:00. The cost is $5.00 per player, and each player is asked to provide their own catcher (preferably an adult). These clinics were invaluable to those pitchers who participated last season. Join the fun and learn how to pitch...every Friday between now and the end of the season.

The rain will end. It always ends. Doesn't it?
