Winter Haven Senior Softball

HAPPY THANKSGIVING


We are playing softball tomorrow in Winter Haven. Be there at 8:30 and we will try to get the games started by 9:00. It is a holiday for the City so we are on our own for field conditions.


REMINDERS:


1) SANTA CALLING IS ON FOR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8TH AT THE CITY HALL IN WINTER HAVEN. IT STARTS AT 6:00 PM AND GOES TO 8:00 PM. THE CITY WILL PROVIDE REFRESHMENTS. PLEASE SIGN UP.


2) The cutoff date for being drafted on a team is November 30th. If you have not signed up and paid your fees by then, you will be placed in the pool. Pool players are not guaranteed to play. We have approximately 150 ball players signed up at this time. There will be at least 10 teams.


3) The draft for the American League will be on Friday, December 9th. The draft for the National League will be on Tuesday, December 13th. If you want to opt out of the draft for the American League, please let a me or a board member know. If you decide to go into the pool and did not mark your application as such, let me or a board member know.


4) There will be a rules meeting for all managers and board members on Tuesday, December 20th after the games. It is important that all managers be there so everyone understands the rules that we will be playing by for the 2017 season. If you are interested in managing a team, see a board member or Don Witmer.


5) The league will officially start on Tuesday, January 3rd. The ending date of the league has not been determined yet.


6) The game times will change on Tuesday, December 6th. Starting that Tuesday, be at the ball park no later than 9:00 AM and we will try to begin the games no later than 9:30 AM. We should be having 8 teams by then and it is important to be there on time so we can get the teams made by
9:30 AM.


7) Enjoyment Books are on sale now. It is not to early to buy your neighbor a book for Christmas. See Don Witmer to purchase a book. They are still $30.00.


8) We still need sponsors to help support our program. If you know anyone who is interested in sponsoring a team we need to know by December 1st. The cost to sponsor a team is $250.00 and the sponsor will get their business name or logo on the back of a league shirt.


Have A Happy Thanksgiving.
