PAL Fall Softball Tournaments!
The PAL will be hosting two softball tournaments this fall:




Columbus Day Clash (10/9 & 10/10)






Halloween Bash (10/30 & 10/31)





We are planning on 14u & 16u for both weekends with a maximum of 8 teams in each division. The cost is $400 for one tournament and $750 (a $50 discount) for both. It's a great opportunity to get an early look at your 2011 team, to use as a tryout, or to give your team some Fall softball before the the end of the year.

Uniform Pick-up Schedule & Plainridge Raffle
Uniform Pick-up and Plainridge Raffle
Friday 4/16 and Saturday 4/17


Coaches,

The link to the schedule for uniform day is below. I will be sending out a blast e-mail with this information but would also like you to follow-up with your parents regarding the schedule. Everyone on your teams needs to attend at their team's assigned time. Please let everyone know that they need $10 for Plainridge raffle tickets!! The only teams that need to pay uniform deposits are the Babe Ruth boys teams. The uniform deposit is $20 which they will get back when turning the shirt in at the end of the season. Some team names have changed so don't be alarmed if the team listed next to your name is different. Hat availability led to some of the changes.

Any questions, please let me know. Schedules are being finalized today so you will receive those by tomorrow. I will also have copies on Saturday to distribute to parents. Dan Robillard will be distributing shirts and collecting Plainridge money Friday evening. I will be doing so for the teams on Saturday. See you then!

Regards,
Darrin
