Hi Everyone!

 

The 2014 Harris Baseball Softball season is just around the corner. It’s been a long winter and we are hopeful you are looking forward to spending the warm summer months at the park. Currently Harris is accepting online player registrations. Please visit www.harrisbaseballsoftball.com to register your son or daughter. When doing so, please verify their shirt size as well as their preferred number. Also, if you are interested in coaching a team or just wanting to help out at practice, be sure to mention that as well.

 

 

This year, included in the player registration fee, is a $50.00 fundraiser. When uniforms are issued in April, each player will receive five, $10.00 discount cards to local area businesses. The intent is for each player to sell the discount cards to family, neighbors, and friends. When the cards are sold, you may keep the proceeds. Ultimately, the sale of the discount cards will reduce your registration cost as well as generate revenue needed to improve our park. This is our only fundraiser of the year.

 

The Harris Board is excited about the upcoming 2014 season. We are working hard to make sure this is a fun and exciting baseball / softball season for you and your family.  

Thanks,

Shaun

Volunteer Background Checks
by posted 02/04/2014
 
Beginning with the 2014 season, Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken Leagues are required to conduct background checks on all adult volunteers/employees.  This includes all Board Members, sub-commissioners, grounds crew, umpires, managers, coaches, team mom/dad and concession stand employees and any other adults that have repetitive access to or contact with the players or teams.

HTJBSA will conduct a nationwide search of ​the applicable government sex offender registry data to ensure that those individuals registered as volunteers are not a part of those databases.

The search will be done via the US Department of Justice site which uses first and last name.  This may cause false positives as other people with that first and last name may show up.  This will require further investigation from the HTJBSA board and will probably require more information from the volunteer.

HTJBSA has set up a registration for those people interested in volunteering or working at the park. Registration does not mean that HTJBSA will have a volunteer or work opportunity for you (although we will certainly consider it). Registration is required to be a volunteer or work at the park, however.
 
You can register by going through the Association, Harris Player Registration or by clicking on this link:  ​http://assn.la/Reg/?r=4:74070

Who this message is for: You may be a parent of a girl who would like to play 7U/8U/9U/10U/11U/12U/13U/14U/15U or 16U travel softball. You may be a coach who knows a girl who is looking for a different team or would like to begin playing travel softball. You maybe be someone who knows others who would benefit from this information…please forward it on.

Levels of Play: For the 2013-2014 Softball Season we will field teams in the 7U/8U/9U/10U/11U/12U/13U/14U/15U/16U divisions. Within these divisions we will be offering two different levels of travel softball:

Travel Priority: These teams will strive to play and compete with the best teams in the Midwest. Fields of potential play will be in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and to qualify and to play in a “World Series”. A Travel Priority team will play in 10+ Tournaments per year. While these teams are still Little League friendly, the Travel games are priority over any Little League function.

Local Travel: These teams will be learning to compete with other Michiana teams in the fundamentals and the development of quality players. These teams will primarily stay within the greater Michiana area for the bulk of their 5-6 tournaments. This team is Little League friendly with Little League as a priority.
