The Opening Ceremony will take place Friday July 13 at
5:00PM. Players from all teams should be just outside Tim Raymond
Field (TRF) at 4:45, ready for the team-by-team, player parade onto the
perimeter arc of the TRF infield (including first and third base lines). Teams
will be announced alphabetically. All players and coaches must be present, in
full uniform. This will be followed by Opening Ceremonies with First Pitch.
There will be a Skills Competition for all teams on both
Minors TRF Field, Friday night, July 13, 2012 at approximately 6pm.
Each team will split into groups of players, comprised per coaches’
decision, and each player will compete in one of four events: Home Run Derby
(TRF), Base running (Minors), Around the Horn (TRF), and the Throwing
competition (Minors).
Batting cages will be available for use by Home Run Derby participants-only
(we ask that each player be kept to ~25 pitches each to ensure all players get
warm-up time).
The format will follow that which takes place at the Ripken World Series. Coaches and players can preview the format here.
The evening will end with the awarding of trophies for the skills
competition winners. Team trophies for the events will also be awarded.
