To Parents, Guardians, Players & Friends,
I, along with the Board of Directors, welcome you to the Spring 2010 season here at Bloomingdale Little League. It is our commitment to offer you and your children a safe and enjoyable experience.
The Spring 2009 season saw many of our teams do very well in post season play. Softball titles included; 9/10 American State Championship, Majors Section Championship and 11 year old District 13 Championship. In Baseball the 9/10 National team won the Section Championship and the Seniors won the District Championship.
We are always looking for dedicated volunteers. Please step up and lend a hand if you can. Managers, Coaches, Concessions Stand Managers and Board Members are always needed. Sign up at our Volunteer Table if you are interested.
Safety is paramount at our park. We will continue to require all Softball players to wear a NOCSAE approved face mask. All baseball players below the Junior division must wear a NOCSAE approved facemask or "C-Flap". Please have these at your first practice as the players must use these at all times while hitting.
We have seen a recent increase in property crimes at the Park. Specifically we had several cars broken into during our Fall season. We ask that you take preventative measures by not leaving valuables in your vehicles and make sure they are locked. We will continue to work with Bloomingdale Citizen's Patrol as well as Hillsborough County Sheriff to make the Park as safe as possible.
We will be installing a Thor-Guard lightning prediction system before the first day of practice. Information is available by clicking here. Each family must sign the BLL Lightening Policy and turn that in with the player's registration.
We will continue to offer First-Aid and CPR training to at least one member of each team's coaching staff. Umpire and Scorekeeper training will also be provided. Your team's Manager will be looking for volunteers to help out during the season, please help out if you can.
Keep an eye on the bulletin boards near all the concession stands and support our Community Partners. many of these businesses offer a percentage back to BLL for your patronage. Join us on Sunday, April 25th for the District 13 Rays Day at Tropicana Field. Your team Manager will have order forms as we approach this date.
If you didn't do it at registration, make sure you sign up for our newsletter " FROM THE DUGOUT" .
This will keep you up to date on all of the happenings at Bloomingdale Little League.
Once again have a safe and enjoyable season,
Aaron Gross
President
Bloomingdale Little League
