Welome to Minors Brewers

Good afternoon, Parents!

I'm excited to announce that your child has been selected to play on the Minors Brewers this season. I'm Coach Josh, and Coach Pat will be managing the team along with me. We are both looking forward to getting the season started, building skills and having some fun.

At the Minors level, the play is a bit more competitive. Players will be pitching and balls / strikes will be called by an umpire. This will be new to the players coming up from Farm for the first time. Games are 6 innings and the rules have been written so that we keep the games moving along. For instance, coaches will step in and pitch after 5 player pitches, and coaches are allowed to backup the catchers as long as there are no base runners.

The focus at this level is on skill building; hitting, throwing, base running and general game play. Coach Pat and I will be looking to schedule practices as soon as possible. The fields are still closed but the batting cages at Wicasse are open. We will be in touch soon with a practice schedule. In the meantime, if your player can get to a batting cage and/or start throwing a baseball in the backyard – every little bit helps.

Opening Day is Saturday, April 26th and we have a game at noon that day. We will likely be taking team photos that day as well – more to come on that. All games will be played at Wicasse fields.

For equipment: all players must have cleats, baseball glove, game pants and socks (I will confirm pant and sock color and let you know). Also, at this level, I would recommend a cup. If your player is a catcher, they will be required to wear a cup. The team will have bats, batting helmets, catching equipment and baseballs. Players are welcome to use their own, but they are not required to. If you need to purchase anything, there are coupons available to all Tyngsboro players' families to Dick's Sporting Goods here: http://app.dcsg.com/couponsheet/?s=28368

The team roster is located on our team website here: http://sports.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=507016&mid=529977&teamid=48592&ctl=teaminfo&seltab=teamroster

The Brewers team website has not been updated with anything but roster and schedule – we will do our best to update it with team-relevant photos and news throughout the season.

If you are interested in helping Pat and I coach the team, we can always use the help! Just let one of us know.

Please reply to this email so that I know you received it & again, welcome to Minors Brewers!
