Meet-and-Greet...and Other Pre-Season Details

Meet-and-Greet
What is it? Our annual gathering where you can see your neighbors, get information from the league for this season, and meet your coaches and teammates. We start at 6:00PM on Thursday, March 21 at Westwood Christian Reformed Church on Northampton Road. You can also make outstanding payments plus complete and/or turn in your volunteer forms. See you there!

Swap Table
Bring your old mitts, bats, cleats, pants, or other playing equipment for our swap table at the Meet-and-Greet. You can get things out of your garage, put your old equipment to good use with another league member, and maybe even find something you need. This was a big success last year and we expect it to be popular again.

Coaches Meeting
Coaches, don't forget this mandatory meeting starts at 7:00 following the Meet-and-Greet. We'll have lots of information for you, including your rule book, and an update from D2 on what they want coaches to focus on this season, plus your required first aid training.

Teams
We are still receiving registrations so all teams are not finalized yet. All registered players will be placed on a team by March 21 so you will be able to find out your team at the Meet-and-Greet.

Umpires
We need umpires for the Little Major (9-10) division and up to be able to play. We provide training and equipment so you can do it even if this is your first time. High school students can be part of our umpire training program and be paid to call games. Contact our Umpire Coordinator Jeremy McNally at [email protected] for details.

Schedules
Our goal is to have the practice schedule done quickly after we have all the coaches identified, so we should have that by the Meet-and-Greet. The schedules for opening day and regular season games will be done in early April. Some of the division schedules may take a little longer because they involve interleague play and we need to wait for the schedule coordinator to finish and publish them.

RainedOut
We send out notifications for league events and for weather cancellations using RainedOut, which is a broadcast text service. Please text WESTWOODLL to 84483 to start receiving alerts.
