Narwhals Family,

I hope everyone is looking forward to a relaxing weekend.  I wanted to reach out to provide some updates for our Spring season!

All practices will be held at Simpson Middle School Field 3 (the field closest to the road and across the street from Freedom Park). During pre-season we will practice on both Saturdays and Thursdays to prepare us for the season. Below is the pre-season practice schedule:

- Saturday, March 18th, 1 - 2pm

- Thursday, March 23rd, 5:30 - 6:30pm 

- Saturday, March 25th, 1 - 2pm 

- Thursday, March 30th, 5:30 - 6:30pm

- Pause for Spring Break

- Thursday, April 13th, 5:30 - 6:30pm

- April 15th - Opening Day / 1st Game / Picture Day - more information to come!

 During the regular season, we will practice Thursdays only from 5:30 - 6:30 pm, beginning Thursday, April 20th through the duration of the season.

If you have any questions as you prepare for the season, please let me know. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing everyone on March 18th to get the season kicked off!

Thanks, 

Brad

 

Welcome Team Narwhals 8U Family!

I wanted to reach out to introduce myself and welcome back so many girls I've coached over the years!  I'm excited for our season and can't wait to get started.  I wanted to share some important information about our team and most importantly, thank you for joining our team...we are going to have lots of fun this Spring!  I have a coaches meeting this Sunday, 6 March 2023 when I'll be provided our practice scheduling and location and a sample color of our jerseys (Pink!).  As soon as I get our practice schedule and location I will be sure to reach out.

My Background

This is my third year (and 5th season) coaching the Narwhals, the last few years in the 6U league.  I'm a father of two wonderful kids, Lily and Zac.  I learned the game of baseball at age 4 and played all the way through high school.  Along the way I had several amazing coaches, including my father, who taught me so much and were always encouraging.  I have always wanted the opportunity to give back in the way so many of my coaches did.  My goal with our team is to ensure the safety of our kids while we practice and play, all while having fun, getting exercise, and building friendships.  If you ever have questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me anytime.

Team News

1) Our Team Color will be pink with a Narwhal logo on our jerseys.  We will wear light grey baseball pants that you can find at such places as Dicks Sporting Goods or Amazon.

  -  Please reply to let me know what number (1st and 2nd choice) and confirm the t-shirt size your child would like (example: Youth size XS/S/M/L and #9 or #14) by Monday, March 6th, as the leaugue will be creating our jerseys for us!

2) Our Opening day and practice schedule will be provided to me at Sunday's coaches meeting and I will let you know as soon as possible.

3)  For this season you will need the following items:

    a) Glove

    b) Protective Mask for fielding

    c) Cleats

    d) Socks (we can let the girls pick these and I can do a mass order for our team so we match...the cost is typically $10 to $12)

    e) Helmet with protective mask (I have 3 helmets that i purchased for our team to share, but if you have one, please bring it to practice and games.)

    f) Bat if you have one, we have a few extras to share. 

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon!
 

Brad
