Baseball/softball season starts this week in the state of Alabama. To help you keep up with the fast changing world of Elkmont gloves and bats (very unpredictable due to weather), the Elkmont Baseball Blog is part of the family of blogs dedicated to all things Elkmont. Of course, the high school and middle school teams are the heart of the blog but it has a special place to highlight our youth leagues as well.
If you are a parent or coach of a youth league team, please send in pictures, articles, announcements or schedules dealing with your team. We love our young Red Devils or Lady Red Devils too. Please submit information to the blog at elkmont1@charter.net or facebook message Hill Spirit.
They are already getting ready to host the Athens Bible
School Lady Trojans @ 5 pm today. The varsity boys are hosting West
Morgan @ 5 pm as well. Will be on the cold side but no rain for diamond watchers.
The Red Devils have already starting throwing the baseball to get ready for the 2013 season. The baseball season is short in Alabama. Games will start the middle of February and wind down the middle of April as state playoffs begin.
Elkmont has three teams, middle school, JV and varsity. If you would like to play this year, contact Coach Sean Holt for more information and necessary forms.
February 8 - Team Meeting
Thoughts from Coach Holt:
- I cannot and will not guarantee playing time. I can only promise to be fair when considering your talent and how much you play. Playing time will be based upon attitude, effort, ability and attendance.
- You will need to have a pair of black cleats and black sleeves for this season (long sleeved shirt to wear under uniform such as UnderArmour or Nike, etc.)
- The program will continue to buy many things to help provide the nicest and best for our baseball program. Because of this, I need you to sell at least $175 worth of chicken stew. This is our only fundraiser and it is important to the financial well-being of our baseball program.
- Please sign up to work the chicken stew on February 18. Once again, this is important to our program and we need workers to make this a success. Go to fundraiser tab for more information Chairwoman: Heather Hobbs
- I have given you an order sheet if you want to order any items at this time. I plan on calling in the first order on Friday. Please visit our team store page on this blog for items and prices.
- I need to create a list of emails and phone numbers so I can have a way to contact parents and players during the season. Send your information in as soon as possible: COACH HOLT
- There will be a workday this Saturday, February 11, to make final preparations for the season. Please come around 10 a.m. and dress warmly. It is supposed to be sunny but cool.
If you have any questions, you can reach me by email at sean.holt@lcsk12.org or by phone at 256-777-8005.
