Summer Registration, Picture Day, Gould Manor Fundraising and Memorial Day All-Star Festivities

Fairfield American offers three potential opportunities for our 9-12 year olds to continue playing this summer. District and Tournament teams will be selected by June 15th and our Summer House League will kick into gear towards the end of June. For more information on these offerings as well as schedules for mid-season clinics, please click here to access our 2011 Summer Baseball page.

All 9-12 year olds that are interested in playing this summer MUST register online (this includes players that are being considered for District and Tournament teams).

Our standard registration fee for summer play will be $110. All players that are selected to District or Tournament teams will have their $110 standard registration fee applied to their District/Tournament participation fees.

Registration for summer play is now OPEN and can be accessed by clicking here or on the "Summer Registration Link" in the "Quick Links" section of this newsletter.

After reading through our 2011 Summer Baseball page, if you have any questions regarding District or Tournament play, please contact the appropriate team manager (listed to the left). If you have questions regarding our Summer House League, please contact fairfieldamerican@gmail.com.

Picture Day at Mill Hill is just around the corner, so here's the information that you'll need to know...

Shelby LeVino will be shooting every member of each team (including team pictures) on a specific schedule over the next few weekends. Team time slots will be communicated to each player's family by your team manager. In the meantime, please note the master schedule for each league below:

5/28: All Day: Majors
6/4: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm: AA
6/4: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Senior Cappy
6/5: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm: AAA
6/5: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm: T-Ball
6/11: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm: Junior Cappy
6/11: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Future Stars
6/12: Rain Date (only if needed)

Again, each team in a given league will have a specific time slot that will be determined and communicated by your team manager.

Here are a few guidelines to ensure the photo sessions run smoothly:

Please be on time. This means being at Mill Hill 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time to process the paperwork.
As soon as you get to the field proceed directly to the check-in desk. Please fill out your form and hand it to the staff. They will accept payment, verify the information and provide further instructions.
Please have your child wear their complete uniform, including hat
Please come to Picture Day even if you have no plans to buy any photos. We will photograph all players so that team pictures can be as complete as possible.
If your child has a conflict and can't make their scheduled time, please show up at any alternative session and we'll squeeze them in
If your family would like a photo but are facing financial difficulties please contact Shelby LeVino directly at support@shelbylevino.com

Experience these events and more at our 2nd Annual Golf Tournament on June 6, 2011 at H. Smith Richardson Golf Course. In addition to the golf, we'll have silent auctions and raffles at the end of the day. All proceeds from this event go towards our "Make Gould Great!" fund for the renovation project at Gould Manor.
