Jaguars Upcoming Practices

Hello Jags –

We will NOT have practice this Friday – enjoy your long Memorial Day Weekend!

Our next practice will be Tuesday, May 26^th at Powderhorn from 6-8pm.

After that we will not have another team practice until Friday, June 5^th from 4-6PM at Westridge. I will send out an email reminder before that practice along with game info for that weekend.

 

Thx, Karen Parker 303 904 2075

 

Practice 5/15/09 Change

All,

 

Sorry, we need to change our practice time back to our original start time and ending at 5:30pm.  Westridge Elem. is having their annual PTA carnival.  The carnival starts at 5:30pm and that way we can be done before it starts.

 

Sorry for the bouncing around!

 

Coach John

 

 

 

Dakota Ridge Baseball Camp

Great game tonight Jags!!!

The email below was sent out by the Dakota Ridge League President to the coaches about an upcoming baseball camp. You should have received a newsletter with this information, but I thought I would forward Shane’s email for your review. They are offering a discount if teams have 6 or more players register. Let me know if you are interested.

 

Thx, Karen

In one of our coaches meetings we discussed this camp, and how significant it can be for the players in DRBA, but also our coaches.  The College of Southern Nevada and it's coaching staff is one of the premier Junior College programs in the nation.  In 2008, the College of Southern Nevada had nine (9) players placed with Division I scholarships and two (2) players taken in the Major League draft.  The coaches for Southern Nevada will be here June 8th through the 10th to help instruct our DRBA players, along with our Dakota Ridge High School baseball coaches.

 

This camp will be ideal for our youth to learn the fundamentals of baseball.  It will also be a great opportunity for our coaches to attend and learn as well.  ALL DRBA COACHES CAN ATTEND THE CAMP FOR FREE.  It will be a great time to get out on the field and learn; take notes and ask questions.  Please talk to your parents with regard to sending their player to the camp.  It will make a huge difference in their skills and abilities.  I understand that times are tough for some families, so I have discounted the price of the summer camp from $160.00 per player to $125.00 per player for any team who sends 6 or more players from their roster.

 

I think it is important for you to know, that all the money that is collected from this camp goes to take care of the coaches expenses to come here and to teach our kids, as well as any expenses that DRBA and the high school incur.  In fact, we find sponsors who will help us to offset some of the expenses we will incur. 

 

The camp runs from 9 am to 2 pm, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so there should be no conflict with baseball schedules for your players.  And, if your players want some extra work, they can pay extra for a 1 hour session from 8 am to 9 am on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I would highly encourage your attendance and your players attendance.  If you are wondering if the camp is worth it, you should know that almost every player in the high school varsity program has attended one or more of these camps before.  I would also encourage you to talk Coach Jeff Legault and Coach Gerry Valerio who both have attended the camp either last year or in Las Vegas. 

 

Thank you coaches for all you do for the youth in our program, and I hope you will attend the camp and encourage your players to attend.

 

For America's Game,

 

Shane Fugita

President, DRBA
