• Maintain Positive Attitude
• Treat players, parents, umpires, spectators and opposing coaches with respect.

In three months, we will begin playing summer travel ball.  It will be here before you know it!   It is time to get ready.   Everyone should take advantage of playing on a league team.   Each of our pitchers should make sure they get an opportunity to pitch.   If your team has more than one pitcher, ask to be on a team that does not have a pitcher.   All of you need to work on throwing mechanics and basic hitting skills.   MWC will have a couple of hitting clinics for our team in the next two months.   Watch the web site for details.  IT IS TIME TO PLAY BALL!!!

Over the next months, MWC will be seeking additional sponsors to help defray team costs for entry fees and equipment. MWC will sell spots on a team banner that will be displayed on the field where the team plays. Contact Shane Shaw or Greg Trenary for information. Details as to what a place on the banner will cost will be forthcoming soon. In addition to Rizor Sports, Collision Pros has already committed to sponsoring the teams for the summer.
