June 28 cancellation notice

Hi everyone, We are cancelling our games and practices for the evening of June 28 due to the air quality advisory. We always expect to have some cancellations, but because we've missed more nights than usual this season, we are going to add another day at the end on Wednesday, August 2nd. We will post another updated schedule to reflect that - with a new date for Ice Cream Sundae Night, too! Take care.

Updates for June 26th and 28th

  Good morning everyone,   This week, along with our regular schedule for each team, our event night is on Wednesday: our Ice Cream Sundae Night! After games and practices that evening, players, families, and anyone attending can bring a $2 toonie to purchase an ice cream sundae, with all proceeds going to Port Cares.   See you at the diamonds!

Updates for June 19th and 21st

  Hi all,    Here's an update for the coming week. There's a new, new updated schedule with a little juggling made after our cancellations. It mostly affects T-Ball games, and you can find it here:   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlS1URck2hazPE9DrTZbe_O1nure8Fje/view?usp=sharing   Monday the 19th is our world-famous Backwards Night! What does that mean? Well, backwards hats and shirts are definitely encouraged, for one thing. Maybe try running to third base instead of first, too?   Wednesday the 21st will be Photo Night - for sure this time. Once again, we'll start with the two T-Ball teams that are playing their game, followed by the third team, and then we'll pause the Minors game in between innings for their team photos.   Remember to check our Lost & Found shelf in the clubhouse if you're missing anything!

Corrected: June 14th update

    Good morning, everyone, I had the wrong T-Ball teams listed for the game tonight.   For tonight, sigh, we'll be keeping an eye on the weather! The T-Ball schedule has Blue playing Orange, but if the diamonds are dry and the grass is still too wet, our Plan B is to have all three T-Ball teams share the diamond for a game together. We'll see how it looks when 6:00 rolls around.    We'll also put off Photo Night again until next week to wait for nicer weather.

June 12th Cancellation

  Hi everyone, I was going to inspect the diamonds soon, but the township messaged me to say not to bother as they're still too wet from the rain today. So, all games and practices are cancelled for tonight, but hopefully this is the last time for this season! See you on Wednesday.

Updates for June 12 & 14

We'll have our Team Photo night on this Wednesday, the 14th, to make up for last week. Once again, we'll take photos of the two T-Ball teams that are scheduled to play a game, then the third T-Ball team, and then the two Minor teams.   As for tonight ... cross your fingers! We'll watch the weather and the condition of the diamonds in the late afternoon and post an update if we have to. Remember that no news is good news, so if we don't post anything else today then it's game on!

June 7th update: Softball cancelled for tonight

Hi everyone, We are cancelling softball altogether this evening, based on Niagara Public Health posting a higher risk assessment for tonight. We'll update everyone on the new date for team photos before next week. Take care!

June 7th air quality update

Image
  Good morning all,   Niagara Public Health issued this air quality statement late yesterday afternoon, and there hasn't been any update yet as of this morning.   Based on this notice, we'll be going ahead with our activities this evening, and of course we'll update again if there is any further news to share.   We'll still start with team photos beginning at 6:00, so even should you wish to avoid your child/ward taking the field for a game, that won't interfere with the pictures.

Updates for June 5th and 7th

  Hi everyone, here's a look ahead to our first week of June softball.   Remember that the T-Ball division will begin its new schedule for games and practices tonight (you can check which teams are playing here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I7vv_kaU8bLXw0YVzum_lZquqyMsfj_3/view?usp=drive_link ).   Also, Wednesday evening will feature team photo night. We'll start with the T-Ball teams that are playing that night, followed by the practice team - and the practice team should still wear their jerseys!   When they've finished, we'll pause the Minor game in between innings to take their team photos.   One more thing: we do have a Lost & Found shelf in our clubhouse, on the left when you enter. If you're missing a hat, bottle, or anything like that, you're always free to take a peek and see if it's there. See you this evening!
