"The Summer of 2009"

As always, we went into this season with three goals for this team: to learn more about baseball, to have fun and to develop a positive attitude and respect for the game and all of its participants. This group of players not only accomplished these initial goals--they went beyond them. They developed a sense of confidence and poise.

There was an overriding goal which went unstated, but which helped set the tone for this season. That goal was to create an environment where players can create lasting memories--memories that they can draw back upon in the future that instill a sense of confidence and help build character.

In the end, I like to think of the whole approach as "The Summer of 2009". By that I mean that this is a special period in the lives of our players that only comes around once--and will never be repeated. There will only be one Summer of 2009. Coaches and parents are fortunate to be a part of it. I'm pleased that all of our coaches shared this philosophy and always acted in a positive manner to maximize each player's experience.

I want to thank all of our players, parents and coaches for your support during this season. Everyone came together to make this a special season--and it is one that I will never forget.
