*** BAT-A-THON(R) TEAM COORDINATORS MEETING ***

There is an important and mandatory Bat-a-Thon meeting tomorrow, Monday, April 16 at the Herndon Middle School. All leagues (Machine Pitch and above) must have a team coordinator in attendance. It is also highly advisable that the team manager be in attendance if possible.

If Machine Pitch games are canceled tomorrow, it is requested that MP team manager make a special effort to attend this important Bat-a-Thon kickoff meeting.

If the HOYB league and/or Fairfax County has not closed the field(s) then it is up to the home team manger to determine if the field in question is in playable condition. He should arrive early to the field to make that determination.

If you have not been contacted and told the game or practice is canceled, please arrive at the field on-time and ready to play. Sometimes it is necessary to cancel after players have arrived at the field because the coaches feel that playing would damage the field or that a late arriving rain makes it impossible / unsafe to play.

Our Calendar of Events has been updated for the upcoming spring season, check it out!

Early tomorrow (Saturday) a determination will be made regarding the weather and Saturday baseball games.
