Congratulations to one of Kennesaw Baseball’s own.  Pete Derkay won the National Title, for his age group (13-14), in the annual Punt Pass and Kick contest sponsored by the NFL.  He won the area title in Acworth, won the regional title in Atlanta and then traveled to Baltimore Friday for the finals.  Pete competed on Saturday at the Ravens indoor training facility against kids from all over the country.  Pete went to Baltimore as a representative of the Falcons.  After winning the National Title he and the other winners were announced to a National television audience at the Ravens-Texans game.  Pete is the catcher for the 14U Kennesaw General’s travel ball team.

Please help keep our park clean by throwing away any trash in the dugouts or surrounding areas around the park. The KBA Board thanks you in advance for helping us keep our park clean and safe for the players and association members.

It has come to attention of the Board of Directors that there have been several occasions of parents dropping off their young players at the park without parental supervision during team practices. Full parental responsibility is mandatory when your child is on the Adams Park grounds during practices and games. There have been several reported cases from other local area parks of young children being approached by individuals not directly related to the stipulated program. Head Coaches and the Coaching staff are there to teach baseball to our young players, and with as many players per team, there responsibilities are spread to several individuals and not just one. We are requiring that at least 1 parent must accompany their child when participating in baseball activities at Adams Park facility. If your child is un-accompanied and your coach is unaware of no parental presence, parents will be notified to pick up their children immediately. Please help enforce park safety to keep our children and your park safe.
