Sports Reports
Baseball – No UpdatesMinor Baseball – No Updates
Fall Baseball – Ray, 97 teams up from 89 the year before, and 64 the year before that. Estimated to bring in $20K net. Sch
Schaefer all fields in use for practice, 5 fields from City of Lakewood. Big draw for program.
Basketball –. David - Registration is open. Met with HS coach and build that relationship. He would like to build the girls
Program. Working well with AYL for the competitive teams. If we have some rec teams, should we go to Jeffco with
Those teams. Little ballers will be back from SJeff next year. 60% of the teams in SJeff are rec. Competitve teams are
Staying with AYL. Tryouts will be important to get the right kids in the right levels, but we need to figure out how to align
Competitive and rec. There needs to be more communication between the high school and ensure we are developing
A good feeder program, and that goes to what the HS program. Leuders has stated that we need to move to Jeffco,
However it is difficult to insist our program doesn’t use AYL, when Jeffco does not offer the competitive programs.
Parents love the AYL program, but it is a lot of driving. Facilities – has an in with DPS, can use Henry three days per week
Lincoln is a maybe. He is bringing a coach over from YMCA and has an “in” with the gym at Henry. Hepner, and a couple
Other schools that we can use. Practices start November 1st. Felipe will work on a couple other facilities that we have used
Before. Brady HS. Ft Logan school is a strong option also. Box of merchandise that was purchased last year – what was
It for – but we cannot sell it on line. We can sell on the sidelines. There is only one box – and there is some debate about
How many there should be left. The invoice was for a lot more, and the box was never opened. David will sell them at
Games as quickly as possible. David is meeting with Brandon from Dicks to get some equipment and coaches stuff.

For sending out all details. Weigh ins went smoothly. Implemented re-weighs later until after the first game, helped with the delays.

Uniforms coming in Friday, coming close to the deadline. JMFA is going to Blue Sombrero. We will need training, the webinar was cancelled. Vote will be tomorrow at JMFA to get next training.
