Hey folks, 

I know we kick off tomorrow morning, so here's my last bit of advice for the upcoming season! (for those of you who see a lot of words and don't read, you know who you are, I'm watching you!! 

1. When/if we get rained out at any point, I post on social media accounts and share to the following groups: 
      Join the Parents group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2014053342144987 
      Join the Volunteers group on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/423980004712590 

2. For our new folks: All you have to do is show up! Tomorrow I will hand out uniforms, you provide shorts and tennis shoes. I have all the equipment- we don't typically wear gloves, but if that makes your athlete happy, we won't stop them. 

3. We will have the concession stand open now that we are in Phase 3. If you're ever interested in volunteering for that, sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RhraQFvPzVNlRl60mnmp8LubD4NDe9LPJBJyNKYPQZA/edit#gid=0 

4. It has been incredibly challenging recruiting volunteers. Fall is a challenging time, even without COVID. So please be patient with us and I will try my hardest to make sure everyone has a buddy who needs one. Parents and siblings may be asked to step in, if necessary!

5. Speaking of COVID. If you can maintain social distancing, you will not be required to wear a mask. We are outdoors and I know who belongs with which family, so I will respect the decision you have within your household. In addition to that, if you want your athlete's buddy to be masked, all you have to do is say so! I have warned the buddies that they may be required to do so and everyone has been incredibly respectful. The key to all of this working is some honest and open communication. You all know me and I am here for your kids!

6. The latest update on rosters is below. I am perfectly imperfect, so just let me know if there is an error.

As always, all mistakes are mine. Can't wait to see everyone and I will try very hard to keep my hugs to myself!
