Astros

Lets plan to meet at the KC Field batting cages ~6:00 - 7:30pm on Thursday, 9/04 night. Even though we don't officially have them, no one else should be there as all either have a practice game scheduled or have a field. Pitchers should be ready to throw a little. It is OK to wear shorts to batting practices only.

Congratulations to all for being selected to play on the ASTROS at KC for the Fall Season of 2003. I will be sending periodic updates via email so please verify if any thing is not correct or send comments whenever needed. I have attached an excel workbook that contains: - Roster - Preliminary schedule - Signup for Volunteers - Rules at KC for fallball Schedule for wk beginning 8/25: 8/26 Tuesday Practice at Rassimus 6:00 - 8:00pm Parents meeting - 7:45pm 8/28 Thursday Practice at Levy Field 8:00 - 9:30pm Once the season starts, we will have limited practices, mostly batting. We are expecting to get 1 more late registration person assigned to the team. We will be practicing at any of the locations listed with attached maps. Rassimus Field - Fondren and Westpark area Levy Field - Richmond and Eastside Strake High School - Bellaire and Gessner Strake High School is on Bellaire, about 2 blocks past the corner of Gessner and Bellaire. Coming down Gessner from 59, take a left at Bellaire. Go past the Fiesta grocery store about 2 blocks and take a right into Strake High School. Go down several hundred yards through the parking lot where it dead ends in to a field house. The football field is straight ahead and the baseball field is on the left. You have to go through the gate to the to the baseball cages. We are looking for help in several areas to support our league. Look at the list of positions in volunteer list and find a #1 and #2 choice. Any items that are missing, will get assigned. We DO NOT have to do any concession stand duty this Fall. Get your choice in now. 1) Team parent - general support of coach as needed Need 1 plus backup 2) Scorekeeper and announcer - each team will provide 1 person to the scoring booth each game to do one of those functions. 3) Duty officer - will be responsible for opening and closing of the field and be available for any general items per night. Need 1 plus backup 4) Field Maintenance - responsible for racking field before and after each game, 5-10 minutes, and be available to help prepare field if rain conditions. Normally need 2 per game 5) Sponsor - seek out sponsor from team people or other, need 1 - $300-$500 sponsor or can split with others. Looking forward to a great fall season.
