Hello Allstar families,
I hope the kids have enjoyed these last couple practices, we have a solid squad!
I'm going to try to be short with a lot of info.
Uniforms:
Please purchase grey pants with the black piping on the side we will also be wearing black socks with a black belt. For those kids that like to wear their pants up high(I love that look) lets try to all wear the same socks, I think it would look great if we can get something like this: https://tcksports.com/collections/baseball-socks/products/tck-elite-performance-baseball-socks-dugout-pattern-d-softball-mens-womens?variant=undefined. If someone has another style or can find a better deal let me know and I can send it out to the team. I more than happy to purchase them and then just get Venmo'd.
Tomorrow I will not be at practice but uniforms will be handed out. Please have your boys try one the shirt and hat when you get home, if they do not fit please text Angela, she can be reached at 707-287-2455. As for the hats, I know the boys want to wear them right away but please don't let them wear it to practice, I'd like the hats to stay as clean as possible for our first tournament.
Pre-State Tournament- June 9-10
I have not received the official word of the fields we will be playing at but I've hear it will be at the same fields as our state tournament, even if that's not the case it will be at a field in the city of Elk Grove. Here is the link to Pre-State Tournament website: https://www.teamsideline.com/sites/eglbtourney/home
On June 10th the Sacramento River Cats have a game at 6:37, if we get the early games I think this would be a cool if way can get the whole team to go and watch them play... BUT we have to wait to see when we play.
State Tournament- June 24 up to the 30
Jan Rau Community Park- 8795 Elk Grove Florin Rd. Elk Grove Ca 95624

Hotels
For the pre-state I'm staying at the Hilton Inn & Suites in Elk Grove, it looks like they still have availability. There are a few other hotels in the area but they are filling up fast.
For State Tournament I have a call into the Hilton to see if we can get a block of rooms for at least Friday thru Monday. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from them.
Memorial Day Weekend:
We have practice scheduled for this Friday, Sunday and Monday, I know its a holiday weekend if you have plans by all means enjoy the time, but if you are in town, as I will, we will still plan to hold practice those days. Will all of you please update your child's availability for those dates or shoot me a text if you are not going to be here for those practices? My cell is 707-217-5925.
I think that's it, Thank you and if you have any questions please feel to call or email me.
