Centennial Baseball does not endorse anyone selling baseball merchandise. However, the league has received numerous calls asking where to get team trophies and coach's gifts (the league does not provide these to the teams). The league has done business with The Creator's Touch and is very pleased with their work. The Creator's Touch is also a CYBSA Sponsor. They will be present at the team parent meeting with samples of their merchandise.
Every year the league receives complaints in regards to the conditions of some of the ball fields. The league would like to hire someone to keep up with field maintenance, but at this time the league can't afford someone to do this, and some of the municipalities do not allow this. The league deals with 6 different municipalities for the fields which league uses, so it is very difficult to do field maintenance. The league would like to suggest that coaches encourage parents to bring rakes and shovels to work on the fields before every game. Most locations do not have available water making maintenance difficult. If anyone has any suggestions as to what the league can do, please call the league line at 303-380-2505 or email Centennial Baseball.
Once the schedules have been published, there will not be any changes unless weather related. Rescheduling of games can only be done by the league. If a team can not play a game, it will be counted as a forfeit. The schedule for practices and games is very tight, with little room to reschedule games.
