2024 Baseball Season Information
Friday, April 26th - Youth Baseball Night at the Varsity game at Noble Sports Park
Fundraisers & Events
Each year the baseball program raises money to help with the costs of the player pack items listed above as well as equipment, gear, field, etc. upkeep. This cannot be done with just a few, it takes all of us to help raise these funds. Please add the following fundraiser & event dates on your calendar.
Salt Sales
Each player will receive a paper copy of the order sheet at the player/parent meeting. Please reach out to friends, coworkers, and neighbors to sell them some bags for their home and support their local baseball team.
Order sheets and all payments are due by Wednesday, April 17th to a board member at each team’s respective game location that day (details to come).
Exact pickup is TBD, the beginning of May at the Knutson/Courchane residences on Orchard Trl N in Brooklyn Park.
**BONUS: For every 12 bags sold, players receive 1 paid ticket to the end of season banquet/dinner. (24 bags = 2 paid tickets, etc. Limit to player’s RSVP for the banquet)***
Online Team Fundraising
New this year, we will have an online fundraising option. If you have a lot of family and friends who live out of town or out of state and would love to support your team, this will be a great option for you to help raise money. More details will be shared at the meeting and watch for more information.
**BONUS: For every $100 donated in your player’s name you receive 1 paid ticket to the end of season banquet/dinner. ($200 = 2 paid tickets, etc. Limit to player’s RSVP for the banquet)***
MYAS tournament
This tournament is our largest fundraiser and requires everyone to volunteer. Mark your calendars for the weekend of July 26-28. Be prepared to provide your availability for your volunteer shift at the player/parent meeting. More details will be shared at the meeting.
