Team Mom Note. TEAM MOMS: get your banners & bows ordered early! See Team Mom page for vendors. Some vendors allow you to order and pay when you pick up you order. Don't forget to work on your theme basket. As a fundraiser, all Teams should have a basket ready for the Opening Ceremonies.

Sunday, January 15th, 2012 6:34pm Number of Teams Announced

Open registration is over and the teams are forming for the upcoming season. After a little bit of a slow start, the numbers of registering players shot up a lot! The number of teams is up in every division:

Big League Division - 18 Teams
Mini-Minor Division - 12 Teams
Rookie Division - 12 Teams
T-Ball Division - 16 Teams

Managers have been selected and assigned to all teams except for a few in the T-Ball Division. We are short a few Managers for T-Ball. Please consider volunteering for one of these Manager positions to join us in making Bonita Valley the best community run youth organization in Southern California!

Thursday, January 12th, 2012 9:37pm Rookie and T-Ball Manager Meeting

Saturday, January 7th, 2012 6:41pm The Numbers So Far For 2012

We had a great turn out today at the On-site for Registration and Skill Assessments. Here are the updated number of players signed up for the 2012 Recreation Season:

Friday, January 6th, 2012 7:13am Fundraisers Keep Registration Fees Down

One of the things we do to keep the registration fees under control is fundraising. We don't burden you with many because we have some great organizers that always do a fantastic job! As members of the league, we can all help with this. One highlight of last years Opening Ceremonies were all of the team baskets that were raffled off. They were themed baskets so all of the items in a particular basket followed the same idea. We saw movie baskets with DVDs; game baskets with XBox and Nintendo DS games; picnic and barbeque baskets and food! Lots of great looking food items and restaurant gift cards.

The goal is for each team to put a basket together, organized by the Team Moms, and have it at the Opening Ceremonies. This year the ceremony is a week earlier than in the past so time to put these together will be short. Please start thinking about a theme so when you have your first team meeting, ideas can be shared. More details on the Team and Team Mom meetings to follow....
