Friday, July 10
District All Stars tournament at Trenholm this week
This year's Little League All-Star district tournament runs through Sunday at Trenholm Park, with a possible playoff game Monday. Teams from Belvedere, Fairfield, Irmo, Newberry and Trenholm are competing. The winner will go to the state Little League tournament July 16 in Laurens.
Juniors program won't be held
Trenholm Little League regrets that it will not offer a Juniors baseball program this summer. The league was unable to organize two teams and lost the use of A.C. Flora High School's fields because of construction. Refunds will be sent soon. If you have not received a refund by June 15, contact Sabrina Lindemann at 779-6478.
Registration for the regular fall season will start in August. Check this site later for details.

Hallett coaches the coaches
 |
|
|
| AC Flora coach Andy Hallett demonstrates a drill for the Trenholm coaches.
|
Andy Hallett, head coach of the AC Flora varsity Baseball Team, spent two hours on Sunday, Feb. 22., explaining his team's workouts and drills to the Trenholm Little League coaches. Hallett covered a lot of ground - warmups, conditioning, fielding, throwing, catching and pitching. About a dozen AC Flora players were on hand for demonstrations.
Asked what coaches can do to improve young players' throwing, Hallett said the best way for players to get control of their arms is, paradoxically, to throw the ball as hard and as far as possible, without worrying about accuracy. Doing this -- but not overdoing it -- gives players a sense of what their arms can do, he said. As they develop muscles by throwing, accuracy will follow, he said.
About a dozen Trenholm coaches showed up, as well as a few parents and players.
