I will be holding a Fall Baseball camp for those going to and those in Rookie /  Mosquito and Pee Wee / Bantam at the Sackville Heights Junior High School on Friday nights.
The purpose of the camp is to provide the fundamentals of the game and more importantly having fun. Each session is 1.5 hours long and we will do 1 skill set, agility exercises and we always end the session with a fun wiffle ball game.
I have over 10 years coaching experience and have coached both recreation and competitive and most recently coached the LWF Mystics all girls team.
The cost is $50.00 for 6 sessions and the camps have been filling up quicker every year. Due to problems in the past, your child is not registered until payment is received. I just want to ensure all kids have a chance to participate in the camp. Cheques are to be written out to Tri-County Rangers and sent to the mailing address above.
 
The sessions are as follows:
Rookie/Mosquito–October 30, November 6, 13, 20, 27 and December 4–6:15 pm–7:45 pm
Pee Wee/Bantam–October 30, November 6,13, 20, 27 and December 4–8:00 pm–9:30 pm
NOTE:  If the school is closed due to storms or other reasons then the gym session is also cancelled.
MAKE UP DATES:  The following dates are make up dates due to cancellations – Dec 11 and 18
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me any time and I look forward to this years camps.

2009 SPECIAL RECOGNITION

Over the past several years Sackville Minor Baseball has recognized two people each year for the great jobs they have done.                                                                             David Turnbull was chosen for our 2009 Volunteer of the Year. David has coached at different age levels for many years, this year in the Bantam division. When David has started the season with a bottom placed team by the end of the season you can always find his team somewhere at the top of the standings. David always has the respect of his players and parents for his great coaching abilities.   CONGRATULATIONS DAVID TURNBULL!
Stephen Luciano was chosen for our 2009 Behind the Scenes Volunteer. For many, many, years Stephen has been a member of Sackville Minor Baseball and Riverview Community Center Association. He volunteered for many years at our Monday night bingo. Stephen has coached all ages in minor baseball and has even coached the Junior level. He is well known in the baseball community. For the past few years Stephen has coached our Little League team that plays in an invitational tournament each Labour Day weekend in Amherst against teams from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the USA. This year our Little League team advanced to the championship game for the first time in 27 years.   CONGRATULATIONS STEPHEN LUCIANO! 

Sackville Minor Baseball would like to thank all our coaches and other volunteers. We appreciate all the time and effort that everyone has put forth to make our 2009 baseball season a success. Thank-you very much and we hope to see you next season.

KIDSPORT

Baseball is a team sport that teaches children coordination, dicipline, how to win or lose gracefully, how to play together, plus many more things. Unfortunately, sometimes certain circumstances prevent children from participating in baseball. Kidsport is an organization that helps families with the financial aspect of registering their child for baseball. (there are certain qualifications and deadlines) So if finances are preventing your child from playing baseball please contact Kidsport at
