Spring Sports Banquet Update

The Spring Sports Banquet is 7/16/2023

We have now closed ticket sales for the banquet in order to register the final tally. As a reminder, in addition to sold tickets, players and coaches are included in that number. We are expecting a large turnout.

All Instructional teams (Tee Ball and U6/U8 soccer) will receive a trophy during the banquet. We will also present trophies to ONLY those competitive teams that placed 1st or 2nd in their respective divisions. We look forward to celebrating the successful season with you all regardless of if your player will be receiving an award.

JLS Baseball Player Pass Update

Player pass photo dates are coming up on 3/18, 4/8 and 4/22 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at Greenleaf Community Center on Parker St. We recommend getting it done sooner rather than later.

Per JLS……

You must have a valid Player Pass to play on Tee Ball, U8, U10 or U12 teams. Player passes are good for 2 years, so if you had one taken last year and you still have it, it will be valid for this season. If you are a new player or your last pass was taken 2021 or before, you must have a new pass taken. Player passes should then be given to the coach to hold for the season and then they will be returned to you at the end of the season.

The following requirements must be met for player pass.

  • Must have athlete present for picture taking,
  • Must have childs birth certificate or something with athlete’s name and date of birth on it
  • Must pay $10.00 (cash only)
  • Must be on time. If the session ends at 12, they will not take a photo at 12:01.
