Welcome
to Fall Baseball
at Medlock Park
DHYS
Parents:
Welcome to Fall 2010 baseball at Medlock Park! There are a few
things that we wanted to inform you about.
1. Saturday games Due to the overwhelming registration
numbers this fall season, we were forced to include Saturday afternoon
games on all age groups but Shetland (T-Ball). This is not
what we had planned to do, but in order to get in all of the games
it required scheduling one or two games per age group on Saturday
afternoon. We worked with the County and surrounding neighborhood
associations over the past several years to create a parking plan
that staggers the game start times so that it limits the number
of cars in the parking lots. We have always started Fall
baseball games as early as 12:00 on Sunday, but have worked at
starting most no earlier than 12:20 or 12:30. The later
start times has also forced us to move games to Saturday.
2. Field improvements Over the past few weeks, the
Board Properties Managers, Ken Crochet and Matt Smith have been
working with a few of our vendors (Southern Exposures and Super
Sod), to come in and do some updating and maintenance to a few
of the baseball fields. The scope of the work was not only to
improve playability and appearance but also to create a safer
environment for the kids to play on. The culmination of extra
effort and cooperation on everyones part has resulted in
a dramatic improvement to the much used fields. For parents
whose players are on Fields 2, 7 & 8, thank you for your extra
patients in allowing the new sod time to root prior to the full
in-field practice that you will eventually start having in early
September. Thanks again to Ken and Matt for the tireless
efforts. You can see them out there about every day watering
the new sod.
3. Capital Campaign Please keep an eye out for information
on the 2010/11 DHYS Capital Campaign. WE NEED YOUR VOLUNTEER EFFORTS!
We are establishing three sub-committees to assist the DHYS Board:
an Internal Fundraising Committee, an External Fundraising Committee,
and a Facilities Committee.
4. Facilities Upgrades We are obtaining quotes to
completely overhaul the bathrooms in the concession stand building
and will also add some amenities to the bathroom next to the batting
cages. We hope to have these upgrades completed by the first
game as well. |
