Its Almost Time to Play Ball!

The geese have begun their northward migration, the bears are waking from their hibernation, the trees have begun to bud and the crocuses are getting ready to break through the soil.  On top of all that, as predictable as the melting snow, I am rambling on about the beginning of spring.  What does this mean?  It is time to oil up your glove, dig out your cleats, and limber up your throwing arm, because softball season is coming!   Our team not only participates at Summer Games, but we also compete in 1-2 more tournaments during the summer months.

Our practices are set to begin on Sunday, April 6th.  They are tentatively scheduled to run from 2:30-4:30pm during the cooler spring months (April-May).  During the hot summer months of June and July, practices will run from 5:30-7:30pm, which will let us practice during the cooler evening hours.

We will have a change of practice venue this year:  all practices will be held at Orchard Park instead of Community Fields.

I am happy to say that I have been able to talk with most of our veteran players, and have also talked to some new recruits, but there is always room for more players and volunteers.  So why not come out and join us?  If you are interested in joining softball this year and would like more information, give me a call at 235-5209 or you can drop me an email (Softball@ SpecialOlympicsCentreCounty.org).  Let’s play ball!
