The Winds of Slo-Pitch are Blowing

Hopefully all of your outdoor belongings, shingles, etc are accounted for after this week’s storms. As much as I like playing baseball-like games, I am glad that we didn’t play this week.
However, Slo-Pitch does start this coming week. Our first game (exhibition) is Tuesday, May 3, 7:00 pm at Bloomingdale’s Diamond ‘B’. (See Google Maps if you need directions.
Please let me know if you can make this game, and what your summer is looking like.
New Recruits: We can always use more players (anyone 15 or older, and those 30 or older are especially welcome. Anyone recruiting a new player (who will play regularly) will win two tickets to a baseball game of your choice*.
Schedule: The league schedule, with our games highlighted, is updated on this site. We play one game per week, either Tuesday or Wednesday at 7 or 9 pm. Canada Day is a Friday this year, so we have a game that week. Playoffs (all teams make it) begin the last week of August (before Labour Day), and go a few weeks into September. Players must have played in at least six regular season games to be eligible for the playoffs.
Fees: The league fees have stayed the same, so our team fees will, too. $50 for a full season (10 games or more plus playoffs), $35 for a half season (6-9 games plus playoffs) or $5 per game. If you don't yet have a yellow t-shirt, those are only $10. Cheques can be made out to Scott Albrecht. Please pay in May.
Facebook: You can join the team Facebook group.
Looking forward to a good season with you all.
