Little League baseball is more than boring drills and screaming coaches. It's also about getting to know people and fun.
So please consider the following two events:
This week, THURSDAY after practice, we will have a pizza party in the warming house at Cahill Square for all of the guys on the team, their siblings and their parents. Our practice at Water Tower will end around 5:30 p.m., and we have rented the warming house beginning at 6 p.m.
This will be a great opportunity for Braves parents to get to know each other while the kids play. The pizza party is a rain-or-shine event, so we hope you come even if practice is canceled because of bad weather.
Please let Karen Higgins (kwhiggy@hotmail.com) know how many people from your family will be attending so that she can know how much pizza and soda to have. We will ask each family to contribute a few dollars toward the cost of the food and the rental of the warming house. In addition, it would be great if each family could bring some uncomplicated snacks like cookies, chips, carrot sticks, etc.
FRIDAY we practice at 4 p.m. After practice at least a few of us are planning to head for Miller Park to watch the so-called "Border Battle," featuring a Midwest League matchup between the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Brewers farm team) and the Peoria Chiefs (Cubs farm team).
For this game, any seat in Miller Park costs only $10. The game begins at 7:05 p.m., and it would be great if lots of Braves (and some of their parents) wanted to go. Let me know if you're interested and I'll organize transportation.
We may end practice a little early Friday (a) to keep the guys fresh for their first game of the season the next day and (b) to be able to get to Miller Park in time to get great seats to see future Brewers and Cubs.
Coach Dave
