Welcome to our 2010 ORBA T-Ball Season

Greetings!  

Thanks to everyone who came out to our first "un-official" practice on Saturday.  It was great to meet all of you.  For those of you that couldn't make it, my name is Paul Schroeder and I am happy to be coaching your child's team this year.  
 
I want each and every one of you to know that my goal is fun first! Additionally, we will be teaching the fundamentals of fielding, hitting, throwing, running bases and a general game philosophy.  Teamwork will be a major principle.  Again, we will have lots of fun!!!
 
Sincerely,
Paul Schroeder

I will be hosting practice during Spring Break, but attendance is TOTALLY OPTIONAL.  Regular practice will begin on Tuesday, April 13th.
 
Games will begin in May and I will let you know as soon as the official game schedules are made available.
 
For cancellation information:  ORBA will post cancellations online one hour before the cancelled games visit the ORBA Website
Equipment
tballEach child will need to have a baseball glove and for safety reasons, I recommend a pair of t-ball cleats.  A bat sized for your child is a nice thing for them to have, but not mandatory. I will have a variety of options available for practice and games.   If you need tips for sizing a bat, this is a good site. CLICK HERE
 
I usually receive some Coach's coupons, so check with me before you shop.
 
Please be sure to dress your child for our unpredictable spring weather.
 
Thanks to everyone who came to our Meet, Greet & Practice last Saturday.
