Time and Field Changes for Saturday 6/2/18

With much more rain expected in the forecast we are proactively making changes to Saturday’s schedule.  We are hopeful to get all games in tonight, but are preparing to move games to Friday night, if necessary, to keep our tournament moving.

In order to give us the best chance of completing all semi-finals games on Saturday, we are moving all games so they are played at 9am and 11:30am on our various fields.  Majors will be on Carson Raymond Field; Minors will be on Hollymead Lower Field; Rookies will be at Baker Butler.   The schedule will be as follows (changes are in red font):

Day	Date	Division	Team	Team	Start Time	Field
Saturday	6/2/2018	Rookie	Orioles or Nationals	(1) Indians	9:00 AM	Baker Butler
Saturday	6/2/2018	Rookie	(2) Marlins	(3) Yankees	11:30 AM	Baker Butler

13-15 All-Star Tryouts

13-15 All-Star tryouts will be held on Sunday May 20th, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm on Sutherland Field.  

• If your child plans to try out, please fill out this form by May 18^th .
• Please arrive 15 minutes early to your scheduled tryout so players can warm up and the league can discuss all-star guidelines with parents.  
• Players should bring a bat, glove, and water. 
• Tryouts are the official start of the All-Star season.  Players who make the team should expect to practice and play on Sundays in May.

Critical dates for availability include the district tournament, which will likely be at the end of June (time and host TBA, but there is a chance that Northside will host this tournament), and the state tournament (if we win districts), which will be July 12^th- 15^th at Glen Allen. Please contact Coach Josh Bradley (bradley.joshua24@gmail.com) if you have any questions regarding tryouts, practices, tournaments, etc.

TomSox Youth League Celebration - Monday, June 4th - FREE!

The Charlottesville TomSox have invited area leagues to join them for a celebration of youth sports on June 4th, the home opener for the VBL defending champs!  

 

All players attending the game in uniform and their families will receive free admission.  The tent area on top of the hill will be yours to enjoy and players from each league will have the chance to participate with in-game promotions, such as mascot race and throwing out the first pitch.  Although catering will not be provided, there will be tables and seating available.  See the flyer for more information. 

Fundraiser Kick-Off - Support Northside!!

Northside Player and Families,

This year's fundraiser is simple--Just ask people you know to support the league that you play in.  Each year Northside raises funds to cover expenses that registration fees simply cannot cover:  field maintenance items, official baseballs, bats, catching equipment, chalk to line the fields, and the machines to make those lines so nice, and too many more items to list   You can help offset these costs by simply asking people you know for  a donation.

The fundraiser will run from Saturday, May 12^th through Tuesday, May 29^th.  

Raise money to  and receive the following prizes:

Raise $25                      Northside Logo Water bottle
Raise $50                      Unique Northside Logo Pin (or water bottle)
Raise $100                    Northside T-Shirt (or water bottle & pin)
Raise  $250                   Northside Logo Hat (or t-shirt and pin)
Raise $500 or over      Northside Logo Hoodie

The team the raises the most money will win a Pizza Party during the Day of Champions!!!  We are working on other individual incentives so stay tuned…. 

A packet will be sent home with each player this Saturday with more details.

If the 200+ Northside Families each raise $50 that would mean $10,000 would be available to improve our program and keep it strong. We have set a fundraising goal of $50 per player.  

Did you know that Northside….

• … spent $4000 this year on a new LED Scoreboard for Carson Raymond Field?
• … spent $2500 this year on a new professional portable pitching mound?
• … spent $1000 this year on a compliant USA bat for every Cal Ripken team?
• … spent over $2000 this year on player equipment including batting helmets and catching gear?
• … spends over $1000 each year on chalk liner and StayDry?
• … would like to install a new batting cage at Sutherland field at a cost of over $10,000?
• … has many additional expenses each year that we rely on our Fundraiser to cover?

Thank You,

Northside Board of Directors
