Good afternoon. Congratulations to all the ABC family members who are still competing in the state playoffs. I encourage you to get out and support the central Texas teams who are still involved. Please review the following information:

Save the date

May 19th, 6:00-7:30

What: ABC organization meeting (summer ball kick off) and iindividual team meetings

 *mandatory attendance by all players and at least one parent

Who:  all ABC summer ball players and at least one parent

Where: FEFC (First Free Church - 4220 Monterey Oaks blvd; SW Austin - map); climate controlled facility, chairs, etc conveniently located right off Mopac south.

When: Sunday, May 19th, 6:00-7:30

Why: Our desire is for each family to maximize their summer ball experience in the Austin Baseball Club each session. This organizational meeting will allow the ABC coaching staff to communicate clear goals and expectations. We will be reviewing the organizational policies and procedures as well as going over "A day/week in the life of" an ABC player/family. Regardless of whether you are a first season ABC family or are a seasoned veteran, all families will need to be represented.

Format: We will meet as a large group all together in a main room for the summer ball orientation. Then, individual teams (players, parents, and coaches) will split off into individual team meetings for a meet & greet as well as the opportunity to hear directly from the coaches. This will be a one stop shop for you to hear more about "All Things ABC" and then split off to meet with your summer coaches and teammates. We feel this is an excellent format and an efficient use of your time.

 The staff and I appreciate you making every effort to attend this organizational meeting. Ball players will not be permitted to proceed with activities in June/July until information covered in this organizational meeting has been reviewed.

 We look forward to a fantastic evening of fellowship on the 19th. 

Go Take on the Game,

Coach Prater
