Many Flock To Register Early For Tri Boro Little League
Many would-be little league baseball players turned up at Anderson Field to register early this past Friday and Saturday, many no doubt taking advantage of the Frozen Ropes Gift Card give-away. Nearly 100 players turned out and in turn are being mailed their $20.00 gift card, thanks to our partnership with Frozen Ropes. The promotion is ongoing, with "early-Signups" taking place until 1/15/10, when the early signup period will end. Registrations will still be open until 2/19/10 but will only be available online after the next in-person signup dates of 1/8 & 1/9 so in essense, these two dates will be the absolute LAST of the in-person registration dates. After 2/19, only T-Ball (5-year-old) and Instructional (6 & 7 year-olds) will remain open for registration. Tri Boro will NOT accept any further registrations for the 2010 Baseball/softball season after the hard cut-off date of 2/19/10 to allow for evaluations, which are beginning on Feb 20th.
Opening Day For 2010 Set
At this past general meeting for Tri Boro April 10th was picked as the date of the 2010 Opening Day ceremonies that traditionally take place at Anderson Field every year. April 11th was selected and will be the rain-out date. It was also decided by the executive board that in the event of a washout weekend, the season's games would start and the ceremonies would be held on April 17th.
Frozen Ropes and Tri Boro pick Evaluation dates
As has been stated earlier, Frozen Ropes of PineBrook will be conducting Tri Boro's evaluations for both Baseball and Softball in 2010. The dates of the evaluations will be 2/20/10 and 2/21 for Minor's and Major's Baseball and 2/27 for Minors and Majors softball.

Help URGENTLY needed!
Tri Boro needs volunteers urgently to help close Anderson Field. A date was set up to do the cleanup for this past Friday and Saaturday and the turnout was almost nil, with some notable exceptions who removed the fence signs from the outfield, took down the batting cage nets and stowed away the outdoor tools but there is still much work to be done and we are I guess at the point where we are imploring ANYONE who can give us a few hours on Sunday 12/13/10, from 10:00am to 2:00pm to please do so so we can properly close up this field. Did we mention that we REALLY need you???
Frozen Ropes Of PineBrook comes to Tri Boro Little League!!
The Fall is over and as the long winter ahead starts to seep into our thoughts, most little league organizations have an eye on tarping the field before turning their attention to the looming basketball, wrestling and skiing seasons. In our organization baseball is a year-round-sport and while the other leagues around our area have boarded up the doors ahead of the snow, Tri Boro has put the finishing touches on an agreement with Frozen Ropes Of PineBrook that will bring professional baseball and softball instruction to all of the boys and girls that play in our league for this upcoming season.
The highlight of the Frozen Ropes program is the reorganization of the T-Ball and Instructional leagues to allow for a larger amount of instruction for our players and coaches followed by competitive games. Some of the other features coming from Frozen Ropes to Tri Boro this coming Spring are player clinics, Healthy Arm Clinics and League batting nights at the PineBrook training center.
In the past, Tri Boro has held their Minors and Majors Baseball and Softball evaluations in a gym under the watchful eye of our volunteer coaches. Starting this year, those same evaluations will be held at the Frozen Ropes Training center in Pinebrook, conducted by professional baseball and softball instructors who will provide a thorough, objective evaluation of each player. This will lead to a more fair method of spreading the kids throughout the teams and allowing for a more level playing field from team to team.
Frozen Ropes has also announced that it will provide a $20.00 Gift Card to all players that register for Tri Boro Little League prior to January 15th, 2010. These gift cards are free of charge and reloadable. They are also good for any service that Frozen Ropes provides from use of the batting tunnels to instruction lessons to birthday parties which the center holds upon request.
The agreement between Tri Boro and Frozen Ropes serves as a reminder of the level of commitment that our league has to improving the play of our players in every level of the program. By bringing this fine baseball institution into our program to professionally instruct the players is completely above and beyond what other traditional little league programs offer to their players, which makes Tri Boro an easy decision when compared to the others.
To see a listing of all of the services that Frozen Ropes will be providing to Tri Boro for this upcoming season, please click on the Frozen Ropes link 4 down on the left hand tool bar. Our first “in-Person” signups of the upcoming season will be held at Anderson Field on Friday December 4th from 7 to 9pm and on Saturday December 5th from 10am to 1pm.
Please sign up your player as early as possible! See you all in the Spring.
