Questions:            Contact Del Voight , 717.821.0699, delvoight@gmail.com

Purpose

PITCH, HIT & RUN is intended to encourage youth participation and emphasize the "FUN" element of baseball competition. Participants will compete in three important aspects of baseball: pitching, hitting & running.

Participants

The four age groups are: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14 with boys and girls competing together (age is determined as of July 17, 2011).

Structure

PITCH, HIT & RUN Youngsters may advance through four levels of competition – Local, Sectional, Team Championship (Target Field) and National Finals (2011 MLB All-Star Game).

Eligibility

·         The competition is FREE for all participants.

·         All boys and girls, ages 7-14, are welcome to participate.

·         All participants must provide a copy of a valid birth certificate or baptismal record for age verification when asked. Failure to provide proof of age may result in disqualification.

·         All participants must sign a registration/waiver form.

Objectives

Pitch - The PITCH portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor can throw strikes from 45 feet to a designated "Strike Zone" target.

Hit - The HIT portion of the program will test a competitor's ability to hit a baseball from a stationary tee, along a tape measure from home plate, toward straight-away centerfield. Hits will be measured for distance and accuracy.

Run - The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor's speed in a sprint from second base, around third, and across home plate.

See you at the Competition April 30, 2011!!

Practice Schedule 4.1.11

Try out will be on Thursday from 5:45pm to 7:30pm.  Jim Mckinney, Glenn Weaver and Elvin Felty will conduct a player assessment. The total scores will be added together and rank order of participants will be determined. Coaches will select the roster based on the Assessment. 
Practices for next week will occur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 545-7:30 at the Legion.

The Reality of Player Selection

I like this Coaches approach to player selection.  Perhaps you can understand more fully how a High School team functions and for the most part teams like the Legion.

Fredericksburg Junior Legion Facility Use

Team members are expected to hit 100 or more balls daily on their own.  Practice facilities available offer the option to come and perform this practice.  Typical workouts should last no more that 45 minutes and 20 minutes are more common.  When using the facility the combination will be given to active team members.  Another combination allows one to enter the ball storage area.  Typical daily routine should consist of the following:

• Hitting
1. T hitting
2. Soft toss
3. Line toss
• Throwing
1. Wall drill individual

Cleats are not permitted in the batting cage area. Once the member has completed thier practice the area will need to be cleaned up and raked to ensure clean use.

Concession Stand Sign Up

This will serve as the area to which I will have our sign ups for concession stands. We have 9 home games therefore each parent will be asked to serve at 3 games each.  To ensure compliance a $40.00 check will be due once the team is selected and once the 3 games are worked, chicken fund raiser is complete and hte uniform is turned in by the Middle of August a check in that amount will be given the parents. Here is the sheet to sign up.  I still need checks from many of you.

Fredericksburg Junior Legion Code of Conduct and Sportsmanship Pledge

Official American Legion

I WILL KEEP the rules.

I WILL KEEP faith with my teammates.

I WILL KEEP my temper.

I WILL KEEP myself fit.

I WILL KEEP a stout heart in defeat.

I WILL KEEP my pride under in victory.

I WILL KEEP a sound soul, a clean mind and a healthy body.

Only good sportsmen of good character are the proper men to manage Legion Baseball teams. They

must, by precept and example, keep constantly before the players, the true purpose of the American

Legion Baseball Program. In other words, a Post Athletic Officer or Team Manager should not

consider himself merely a coach with the main objective the winning of games. His big job is to keep

uppermost in the minds of the players at all times, the citizenship lessons learned from participating in

the program. Every team cannot win championship honors, but every player can win that which is of

most importance the

spirit of fair play, loyalty, teamwork, obedience, gameness and democracy.

It shall be the responsibility of the sponsor of the team to see that his team, coach and manager are

instructed in the code of sportsmanship prior to the start of each season and to certify that the

Pennsylvania American Legion Baseball Rules have been read and explained to his team, manager and

coaches.

It is the responsibility of the League Chairman to instruct all team managers that both teams prior to

the start of the game line up along the base paths and repeat the Code of Sportsmanship in unison. It

is the responsibility of the home team to enforce this rule. Teams violating this rule are subject to a

fine of ten dollars ($10.00), payable to the Director of Activities, and/or disqualification from the

program.

b.      Shirts will be clean and tucked in at all times.

c.       Other attire will be clean and displayed with pride. Jewelry and body ornaments will not be aloud under any circumstances at practice or games.

5.       I will have respect for other members accomplishments and achievements and will display only positive encouragement to other members.

As a new Coach please be patient as I transition into this new role.  I will begin to contact players and potential players as I get connected with the previous Coach.  Right now the play will be to begin offering sessions in Late January in the heated complex on the Legion Grounds.  I am excited to bring together a Coaching staff that meets the needs of the youth in the area.
