Well we have another ball season behind us! Or do we?

First off I'd like to thank all the players, parents, and coaches who supported Airdrie Little League throughout the year! I hope your families enjoyed the season, and I encourage each and every single one of you to take part again next season!

We are going to try something new this year. In the higher divisions they have a summer ball program, and it's been mentioned we should consider doing the same. If you feel your child would enjoy extending their baseball season, and you'd like to see them further develop their skills, please email Bill Copeland (wcopeland27@hotmail.com). If there is enough interest we certainly can do this!

Preliminary discussions are suggesting that it would be one game per week (at Fletcher Park) and one or two practices a week. As for cost, that has not been determined yet if there will be any. It all depends on how formal of a league we'd like.

If this is something you and your child would be interested in just reply to this email and we will see how big we can go!

Regards,
Bill Copeland
American League Director

Jake is a "special need" kid who I took on this year who has been a inspiration to all his teammates, parents and the league, It does not matter if he strikes out, makes a bad play, there is always a smile on his face.
