The BCBL Times - Presidential Fieldside Chat - March Edition

Hello ballers!

To get people fired up for the season and keep everyone in the loop, I'll be giving everyone a monthly update on the league going forward.

REGISTRATION:  Just a reminder to all of you to get your early registration in and take advantage of the uniform perks.  Registering early also helps us start to plan for the season.  But just like last year, the registration fee is completely refundable and non-binding.


FIELD RESURFACING:  Good news and bad news on this front...  Good news is that this is currently scheduled to begin in September, so summer season won't be affected!  Bad news is that means we won't have the new turf field until next year and we may have to consider alternatives for the fall league.


OFFICER ELECTION:  Appreciate the feedback we received and the nominations.  We are still looking for Northrup Grumman employees to step up for the Treasurer and Communications Officer position.  Nominations close this Wednesday and voting will be open for the following week, so it's not too late to get involved!


GET YOUR GEAR!  Sports Authority has fallen on some tough times, and they're closing some stores.  Liquidation sales are going starting as early as this weekend at those stores, so keep your eyes out for some great deals to replace those cracking bats, ailing cleats and reeking cups.


IMPORTANT DATES:
New BCBL Officers Announced:  3/18
Early Bird Registration Ends & General Registration Opens: 3/23/2016
Full Board Meeting:  Tentatively sometime in the last 2 weeks in March.
Uniform Design Voting:  3/23-3/30

PS. Here's a little preview of some uniform designs I'm working on.  If you have any design ideas or logos, send them in!  I plan on offering at least 3 designs for each team.  I've been mainly using the LogoSportsWear.com site to prototype these designs.  Only rule is that the final price for 15 jerseys should be around $50 per jersey.
