*********SEE CALENDAR PAGE FOR 2010 SEASON DATES / EVENTS******* First, welcome and thanks for volunteering as you are truly the backbone of this wonderful program. The season is fast approaching. Periodically, there will be emails from the Board to make sure everyone is getting the same message. By now, the RBSA Calendar on www.rbsa.us indicates everyone should have notified their players about their teams. If not, please be sure to do so no later than this weekend. There's nothing worse than a player hearing everyone else talk about who is on what team and the child has not been notified. 1. FIELDS ARE CLOSED --Fields are tentatively scheduled to open on 3/27. Commissioners have your division’s practice schedule and will be in touch shortly to workout individual team schedules for field access up until game commencement. 2. EQUIPMENT Distribution – All equipment will be distributed according to the schedule on Calendar Page, usually first weekend in March: Softball Distribution · ALL Leagues (1st & 2nd Grade, Ponytail, Junior, and Seniors) Baseball Distribution · ALL Leagues (1st Grade BB, Paskalides 2nd & 3rd Grade, LL Minors, LL Majors, Bonvarlet) All equipment is distributed at the storage sheds on Hollywood Ave in Ho-Ho-Kus (heading north on Franklin Turnpike, take a left on to Hollywood at the blinking yellow light – proceed over the railroad tracks and stay right – BB is at shed #3024 and SB is at shed # 3027. Kindergarten Instructional DO NOT have to pick up any equipment. Please note that all equipment boxes have had their locks changed. Be sure to pick up a new key in order to obtain things like bases, first aid kits, etc. You should remind equipment managers in case they forget as they will be extremely busy distributing equipment. UNIFORM Distribution -- IMPORTANT REMINDER -- No one will be given uniforms without having submitted a LL Volunteer Application along with a copy of a photo ID. If you don't have both of these items with you or you haven't submitted them to your commissioner recently, you will be turned away. It's not an RBSA rule! It is a necessary requirement of OUR liability insurance coverage. No Forms, No Uniforms! Mark Your Calendars!!! -- The annual Parade and Family Fun Fair is scheduled for April 17th. You will be notified separately of this event sometime next week. Ready, Set, Relax!!! -- In observance of this event, NO PRACTICES should be held after 6:00 p.m. See schools' Calendars.
