CALLING ALL 15-18 YEAR-OLD PLAYERS!
It has always been the thought, in Forney, that there would be little interest in Recreation Baseball for kids of 15, 16 and 17 years of age … that the only kids playing ball at that age are doing so for the High School team… that if you’re not playing ball on the High School team, you should consider another sport or hobby. Well, not everyone can play High School baseball… for many reasons… not all high school aged players go to a Forney High School… there are many that go to Private Schools… there are many that are Home Schooled… there are some that don’t attend school… or come from families who are financially strapped and have to work a part-time job. Then, there are those kids who are interested and love baseball who did not make the Forney High School team or any other High School Team within the FYBA Little League Boundaries. These players were forced to go play in Mesquite or another town to play baseball… or not play baseball at all. This is a shame and shouldn’t be the case! Did you know that there are players currently in the Major Leagues that have never played High School Baseball?
This Spring Season, FYBA had a record number of players sign up in the 13-14 year-old age group (Junior League)… enough to form 5 teams! This is an encouraging sign! We have also had calls and emails asking if we had teams for older-aged children… regretfully, we had to say “NO”!
Beginning the 2010 Spring Season, FYBA would like to open up two Little League Affiliated Age Groups… SENIOR LEAGUE (15 & 16 Yr Olds) and BIG LEAGUE (17 & 18 Yr Olds). However, this is all up to you!
CREATE A TEAM WEBSITE!
A great way to communicate with your parents and players is thru a website... save yourself countless number of phone calls... now no one can say "I didn't get the message!"
Creating a website is easy thru League Lineup or Eteamz. You don't have to be a computer geek to do so... it is very user-friendly! Many teams in the league have already done so... check out these other team websites in the LINKS section. Also, the best thing is that it is FREE to do so... no cost... zilch... goose-egg... notta... you get the picture.
Once you get your website up, send us an email and let us know and we'll add your site to the LINKS section. There will be a vote at the end of the season for the Best Team Website!
"The one constant through all the years, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game – it’s a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again.”
