Good Morning Boys and Parents,
On Behalf of myself and Coach Phil Basner, We would like to welcome you to the team.
We have the honor of coaching your boys this upcoming season. We are very much looking forward to providiing a safe, fun and overall positive experience with the help of all parents in this endeavor.
While the League is preparing schedule, Fields and Uniforms, We ask that you dust off the gloves and bats in preperation of having a successful season.
Equipment - Aside from Masks, Gloves, Bats and cleats. We recomend the boys have a chest guard protection and mandatory cup protection for every practice and game. Once Uniforms are ready, I will contact everyone and pass them out at the next practice.
Communication - In order to make this a successful season for all. We stress that the parents respond to all emails and texts so coaches can plan accordingly. As coaches, we will promise to prepare the boys to the best of our abilities. We will need your help to communicate with us so we can create line ups and positions for each game. Each iof the five teams only have 10 boys on a roster, so attendance and communication will be key. Safety for the boys will be the leagues #1 concern. We urge any parent to feel to ask the coaches any questions or concerns they may have as well.
We will be setting up a "Groupme" team chat which will also help in the communication process. If you do not have the app yet, Kindly download it and I will send out an invite. www.groupme.com is the link if you cant find it in you app store.
We will be looking into possibly having a few early optional practices indoors at a local batting cage or gym in hopes all this snow melts in a timely manner.
Lastly, please reply to this email to let me know I’ve gotten hold of you, and let me know if there are any e-mail address you would like me to add for your family.
Please feel free to contact me (516-790-3150 or castleind@hotmail.com) with any questions or concerns, and I’m looking forward to meeting you all at our first practice. I will send out more information regarding the season as it becomes available.
