Summer league program updated to promote player development.

In order to promote player development, we have chosen to begin each league night with a 45 minute practice/skill development. Our umpires will be assisting coaches during this 45 minute skill development session and the board is committed to providing drills to our volunteer coaches and umpires. More details will be provided at our umpire training and coaches meetings on how we plan to communicate and deliver information.

Summer league starts the week of June 6. All practices start at 5:45.
