After a Coaches-Parents meeting on Sunday, February 8th at the Susnig Center, it's time to look ahead to another season of Rebels Baseball. In 2009 we will compete in the 14 and under division as a first year team. The pitching distance increase to 60'6", and the distance between bases will be 90', just like the major leagues.
The season will start a little later than in the past. Our first league games may not start till late May.
Our roster looks a little different. Garryt Jones and Justin Phillps have decided not to play baseball this season and Lucas Obertino will stay in the 12 and under division. We are still looking for a couple players to fill out our roster. If you know someone that wants to be a Rebel let us know.
We will be able to use bigger bats this season. We would like to purchase one or maybe two good bats. We also may need to get a couple new uniforms for those outgrowing last years model and we will be getting new caps. This takes money. We hope to attract a sponsor or two to help out and we may participate in a team fundraiser. We're going to look into maybe selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
In the weeks ahead we're going to start hitting the batting cage. Outdoor practices will likely start in March. This year we'll have the use of Randy and Sara Carpenter's pitching machine too.
