OCEANSIDE NATIONAL LITTLE LEAGUE: Hit-A-Thon

Oceanside National Little League will be holding its second annual Hit-A-Thon on Saturday, March 21, 2009. The registration fees you pay only cover a portion of our operating costs. We rely on donations from our generous sponsors, revenue from the snack bar, and fundraisers such as this to help cover our costs and provide new supplies and equipment for our children. The success and growth of our league depends on your support! 

Who should participate?We encourage every player in all divisions to participate in the Hit-A-Thon. All participants will receive a medal and a free hot dog. To participant you must obtain pledges from friends and family members. Distant relatives such as Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles make great sponsors. Pledge amounts should be based on a per foot amount or a fixed pledge. A minimum recommended pledge is $15. Example: If the participant’s longest hit is 150 feet and the pledge is $.10 per foot, the total pledge amount is $15. Please be honest to your sponsors about how far you think you can hit the ball.  

How will it work?Each player will get 3 hits. Coaches will pitch to their own players. T-ball will use a tee. The longest hit will be measured and recorded on your pledge sheet. For the majors division and below, the measured distance will include the roll of the ball. For the juniors division, the point where the fly ball lands will be used to determine the distance.  

How is money collected?Fixed contributions may be brought with you the day of the Hit-A-Thon. After the event, you need to contact your sponsors and let them know how much they need to donate based on your greatest distance hit. All money should be collected the week after the event and brought with you to opening day, Saturday, March 1. For distant sponsors, we will provide you with a collection invoice and thank you letter that you can send to your sponsor by mail. 

Prizes?Prizes will be awarded to individuals and teams that collect the most donations and achieve the greatest distance hit. Prizes will be awarded for the following catagories:

·         Longest hit by individual per team *
·         Longest hit by individual per division *
·         Longest total distance by team for each division
