FGSA & SOFTBALL NEWS  

 

We are starting the 2nd quarter of Season 2010. We are preparing for registration, banners, flyers and newspaper ads will start appearing in the next few months. The Board still needs a number of spots filled to make this a successful season.

 

Early Registration is January 23, 2010 and February 6, 2010 at Irvington Community Center or Los Cerritos Community Center. If your daughter is new to the league you will need to have her birth certificate for verification of age. We accept cash or checks for the registration cost of $100. If you are signing up siblings the cost of the all other siblings is $80. We offer a buyout option of $50, this will pay for 4 pancake breakfast tickets, 4 gift cards and the minimum fee for the hit-a-thon.

 

Last year we had gift cards that purchased one pizza and the second pizza was free. This year our fundraising director is hard at work trying to obtain a gift card with multiple vendors. These could include buy one get one free or a precentage off your meal. She needs to go to each vendor and sign them up with the program but we are excited by the possibilities.

 

We gave away great gifts (DS and IPOD) to the girls in each division that raised the most money for the hit-a-thon. This program will continue for the new season and our fundraising director is working on providing some exciting prizes for those hard working girls who obtain the most sponsors.

 

Watch for our banners and ads in the paper. Watch for flyers to be coming home in your daughters school notices. (The flyer is in the Handout/Forms section of the website) And as always look at the website often.

Tim is going through our roster of managers and coaches to determine who might be willing and able to coach 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U tournament teams and we thank Tim for taking on this exciting position. Tim also generously donates his conference room at Bayside Interiors for the Board to meet. Thank-you to Tim for bringing excitement and fresh ideas to the Board.
