First, thanks Kevin for the warm welcome! Thomas and I are looking forward to meeting you and enjoying some great baseball action. We love baseball and believe it is the greatest game in the world!! We hope you do too!
We are ready to start. There are a lot of plans, details, and decisions to be made. Our goal is to be ready by March 2015 to play competitive baseball so we want have a meet and greet meeting to share our vision and align it with your expectations very soon. Before we do that, I would like to ask for volunteers. The positions we need filled are;
1) Dugout/Game Pitcher-Catcher Readiness Coach
2) Bookkeeper/ Insurance/ Fundraising Coordinator
3) Equipment/Uniform Manager
4) Team Mom
5) On-field Practice/ Conditioning Coaches (2)
6) Marketing/Promotional Manager (optional)
We are looking for a commitment of 2-3 practices/games per weekday/weekend, or approximately 8-12 hours per week at our peak time. Please let us know if you are interested in any of these positions. Please note; we are flexible and understand conflicts that arise occasionally. Please call me if interested, 919-619-6471 and we can talk about what this entails. Then, we will have a all coaches/managers meeting. Soon afterwards, we will have our meet and greet with parents and kids. We will have suggestions for you to discuss, e.g. number of games, travel distances, practices, etc.
Please feel free to call me or e-mail me your questions. I would also like to hear why you might consider the Blazers. What you (parent and son) looking for in a team? Please provide any playing history on your son. I want everyone to be proud to be a Blazer!!
