2008 TOC Clinic Requirements I would like to address the clinic requirements for this year's TOC. All coaches and managers in our District are required to attend both a Coaches and Emergency Management clinic every three years in order to participate in the TOC. However, since we have only kept records for two years the requirement this year is that in the past two years at least each clinic has been attended by two members of a team's coaching staff. That can be two individual attending both clinics and two of the individuals attending one clinic and a combination of two individuals attending the second clinic. Also during the current year each clinic needs to be attended by one individual. In the following examples, I have created a coaching staff made up of Bob, Sam and Terry. I hope that these examples can give all the coaches and managers a better understanding of what we are requiring. Example 1 - Terry has not attended any clinics. Bob attended both clinics in 2007; Sam attended both clinics in 2008.... They qualify. Example 2 - Sam attended both clinics in 2007 and Bob attended both clinics in 2007.... They don't qualify. Example 3 - Sam attended the coaching clinic in 2007 and the emergency management clinic in 2008, Bob attended the emergency management clinic in 2008 and the coaching clinic in 2008.... Their team qualifies. Example 4 - Sam attended the emergency management clinic in 2007 and the coaching clinic in 2007. Bob attended the coaching clinic in 2007 and the emergency management clinic in 2008....This team is not qualified. We are requiring for 2008 that at least one coach or manager be current in each clinic or two individuals being current in separate clinics. Due to the fact that we have only tracked this the last two years this year we are not holding the third coach to the standard only two. If you have any questions on these requirements, please email me at llcad33@yahoo.com Clay Berry District Administrator Ca District 33 Player Agent All Star Meeting Friday May 16th, 2008: 7:30pm Location: Sam Griffiths' Office Sean Tucker and Ed Kirkpatrick (District 33 Player Agents) will be conducting a meeting for player agents or any league reps. who will be involved in the affidavit process for this year's All-Star Tournament.

The Clay Berry Invitational Baseball Tournament Re-Cap The Clay Berry Invitational Tournament at Western Region was held on the March 28th thru March 30th. This was the first time that D33 used the Western Region facilities to host a tournament. While we hoped it would be a good time and a success, what took place far exceeded any expectations that we possibly had.We would like to thank all the managers, coaches, parents and players for representing their league and our District with such class. The standard of excellence we strive for in this District was clearly upheld at this tournament. Jim Gerstenslager, Western Region Director, complimented the conduct of our players in and around the facility. He was impressed with the attention to detail in regards to safety and believed it was the first time he had hosted and not spotted a safety violation regarding, catcher equipment, on-deck-batters, helmets or other issues. Needless to say he was very much impressed with the way our leagues conducted their business as well as themselves. A special "Thank You" goes out to Tom Stoddard, President of Mid City Little League, for the great work that he did organizing this inaugural tournament at Western Region. We are glad that Tom paid attention to Jim Gerstenslager's speech at last year's District Dinner. What a tremendous asset he is to our District. One area of concern we had going into this tournament was getting umpires. As it turned out we had so many great umpire volunteer we were able to use 4 umpires on each game. It ended up being a great experience for all the umpires that attended. All the games were well played and a few with some exciting endings. We had one young man from Mid City pitch a 6-inning perfect game only to lose in extra innings. We had an exciting game between Lake Murray and La Mesa National that was won on a late two run home run. Take a look at the CBI Brackets for the final results of the tournament. We also would like to thank Riddell for providing all the balls for the tournament and Powerade for providing sports drinks for every team. We hope that everyone who attended the CBI Tournament had a great time and can't wait to do this again. Congratulations to all the teams that participated and to La Mesa National White Sox for bringing home the flag.
