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 everyone’s 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.

DHYS is proud to announce:
