03/15/10 - Update

• REGISTRATION IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.  We cannot add any more to the teams because uniforms have been ordered and most teams are full.

• Check the calender for the days and times coaches can turn in your raffle tickets and money along with any sponsor money, and get back your check for everything.

• Also, we had a very successful weekend with our tournament.  We netted almost $3,000 for ABC.  This will help offset the $15,000 loss of concessions now being taken over by the parish.

I did not appreciate the nasty attitude of 3 (out of 63) coaches who say they did not know about the tournament.  This tournament has been scheduled and published on the website since December, 2009.  League Reps were supposed to notify all coaches again this past week, and it was discussed at the coaches meetings.  How about attending the meetings?  You might actually learn something.

I started practice a week earlier for everyone, and I am trying to make up lost revenue.  These few nasty coaches acted in a very disrepectful manner to the volunteer ladies at the gate trying to help our league.  Not one of you spoke to me, even when the ladies said they would get me.  I hope you 3 coaches are adult enough to call me to discuss this matter and not whine and cry like a child to other people.

03/12/10 - Update

On Sunday, March 14th no more late registrations can be taken.  Ages 7, 8, and 9 are completely full now.  Age 10 has 1 remaining spot, and Age 11 has 4 remaining spots.  Age 12 has 1 remaining spot, and ages 13-14 have 2 remaining spots.  Plenty room in the 15-18 league.

Coaches, Stevens Park is closed for a tournament this weekend.  There will be open fields, but you will have to pay the entry fee if you want to use a field.  This has been on the calendar since December and was discussed at the Coaches meeting.

Also, check the League Calendar on Sunday because there will be 2 nights at Stevens Park and 1 night at St. Amant Park next week when the ABC President will be at the concession stand to collect sponsor and raffle money and write checks back to your team.

03/03/10 - Update

We are filling up quickly.  Please check your age group to see how many spots are still available.

We will have one more late registration time on Thursday 3/4 from 6pm - 7pm at the St. Amant Park Concession Stand.  Even if your age group is almost full, everyone should still sign up because we can try to add an additional team if we get enough registrants this week.  We are quickly approaching the end of what we can take because of ordering uniforms and practices.

The ABC would like to express our gratitude to the P.A.R.C. office.  When they learned how many 7 & 8-year old registrants we have, they starting working in the back of Stevens Park to add another field for that age group.  This will allow everyone who wants to play an opportunity to play.

03/02/10 - Update

Check your individual age group page to see if we have any room to accept more registrants.

Tuesday, 3/2/10 from 6pm-7pm, we will be at the concession stand taking more late registrations for the age groups that still have spots available.  Remember, these spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.  Age groups that are already filled, late registrants will be on a waiting list.  If we get enough late registrants, we will form another team.

03/01/10 - Update

We have had a very successful registration process.  Over 1100 boys will be in our program after we finish taking a limited number of late registrants.

8-year old PREVIEW will be held rain or shine tonight.

Monday 3/1/10 from 6pm - 7pm, we will be at the concession stand taking late registrations.  After we take this group, we will have to see if we can accept any more ball players because we already have 14 teams in some age groups.

02/14/10 - Update

The ABC is now a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation!  So any business that wants to sponsor a team or be a corporate sponsor of our league, can get a tax deduction.  In the left menu is a newly added ABC Sponsor Letter link that any coach can print and use to secure donations.  Remember to receive the tax deduction, the check must be made out to the Ascension Baseball Committee.

02/08/10 - Update

Registration for our Spring League begins Saturday, Feb 13th.  Click on the REGISTRATION LINK under League Info in the left menu for instructions.  Every player who registers at one of the scheduled registration dates is guaranteed placement on a team.  Late registrants will be accepted with a $10 late fee, and will be placed on teams in the order they are received until an age group is full.

11u & 12u USSSA registered teams can register online at www.usssa.org at any time to participate in this newly formed Spring league for tournament teams.  If we can make this league a success, we may add more age groups next season.  This league will play on the front field at St. Amant Park.
