Dear Baseball Families,
Thank you for being part of our 13-16 year-old
Charlottesville Babe Ruth League this fall!
We will have a mix of skill clinics and game situations
next week from 6PM - 8PM at Darrell
Gardner Field at Lane Park on September 4th, 5th, and 6th. Registered
players should attend at least one of these 3 nights, and are encouraged
to attend all three. These sessions will allow for coaches to help
evaluate players while also conducting some instruction and having fun all at
the same time. This exercise will help us build balanced teams for even
competition through the fall season. We will form league teams and
families will be contacted on Sept 7th. First team practices begin Sept
8th. Regular season games will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning
September 12th and ending November 3rd. Complete Season practice and game
schedules will be released weekend of Sept 8th. The season will wrap up
on Nov 10th with a tournament.
Our league is now officially full with 48 players, and we
are currently taking players on a waitlist. Our four league head coaches
this fall are Josh Bradley, Eric Gomez, Eric Lane, and Eric Tucker. All
of our guys are ready to hit the field and help your child reach the next
level.
Our Commissioner for this division is Chris Guyton (1315@playnorthside.org). We hope
you can resolve any issues you may have through good communication with your
coaches and other families, but if issues arise, Chris should be your first
point of contact.
For those of you who like to get your hands dirty, we are
having a field clean-up and improvement day on Saturday, September 8th
from 9am to 2pm (at Lane Park). We have many weeds to remove, dirt to move, and other
work to do. This work session is a great way to meet other families
and coaches, and give a little back to the community. All you need is
yourself, and maybe some work gloves. If you have shovels and other
tools, please bring them along.
Thank you again for playing
with us this fall and we look forward to a great fall season!
