2011 BNGSA Summer Softball UPDATE

It looks like the 19U roster is full.

However, Jamie Kunde's dad approached me after the meeting on Wednesday and said that he currently has a 15U team with several openings. If you are eligible for this level and interested in playing, I would encourage you to consider joining this team.

Simply list "Kunde" as the coach and "Jamie Kunde" as the preferred player on your BNGSA registration form. Send me an e-mail if you do this so I can inform Mr. Kunde of any players he should be expecting on his team.

Remember, the final walk-in registration is today from 12:00 – 2:00 pm at Coleen Hoose School. Registrations submitted in person or post marked by Feb. 28 pay a $65 registration fee. Registrations postmarked from March 1 – 14 pay a $75 registration fee. Registrations postmarked March 15 or later will not be accepted. For more information or to obtain registration materials, go to the BNGSA website - http://www.bngsa.org/intown/registration.html.

2011 BNGSA Summer Softball

If you are not part of a travel team for Summer 2011, I strongly encourage you to play on an in-town team. Last year, we organized a team in the 19-U division that ended the season in 2nd place. If you played on this team last year, please contact Coach Fritz as soon as possible to let him know if you want to play on the team again this year. If you are interested in playing at the 19-U level, contact Coach Fritz at richard.l.fritz.a0hk@statefarm.com to determine if he has any spots left on that team.

BNGSA made one significant change for the upcoming season – the 14-U division has been changed to 15-U. As a result, most freshmen are still eligible to play in the 15-U division. At this time, we do not have a team organized at this level. If any parent (mom or dad) is interested in working with a team in this division, let me know asap. I will contact the BNGSA and help get things organized.

These decisions need to be made quickly, as the final walk-in registration is scheduled for this Saturday, February 26, from 12:00 – 2:00 pm at Coleen Hoose School. Registrations submitted in person or post marked by Feb. 28 pay a $65 registration fee. Registrations postmarked from March 1 – 14 pay a $75 registration fee. Registrations postmarked March 15 or later will not be accepted.
