PRACTICE SCHEDULES (Jan - March 2010)
Say it ain't so Tony Tocco! We were sad to hear that Tony and his family will be moving back to Ketchikan. It's been a pleasure to get the opportunity to coach Tony over the past year and we want to wish him the best. His strong work ethic, dedication, effort and desire to become a better ballplayer will be missed. Good luck Tony!

CONGRATS TO THE 12U TEAM Congratulations are in order to the Suns 12 & Under team on their 2009 Labor Day trip to the Budd Bay Bash Tournament in Lacey, Washington! Although the boys did not place as high as they would have liked (5th place) they finished very strong with a record of 2-3 against some very tough competition from Washington. They played hard, had lots of fun, and met some new friends from the Sports Unlimited team, who hosted a great BBQ and Dodge Ball at their indoor training facility. Good job!
