It is time once again to sign up children for the Summer Baseball Program in Stewardson.
The Summer Baseball Program will have at least two divisions of play. Coaches are needed at the T-Ball, and Coaches Pitch age groups–please help!!!!! It appears that there is not enough interest this year for a Little League team. If you are interested in forming a Little League team (11 and 12) or a Pony League team (13-15), please contact Mark Wascher. If you have a son or daughter that would like to play on a Stewardson Little League or Pony League team—please sign the child up, but do not pay a fee at this time.
T-Ball League for 5-7 year olds
Coaches Pitch League for 8-10 year olds
Most games will begin immediately after Memorial Day.
Although Stewardson Lions Club is sponsoring the program, the Club asks that children in the T-Ball and Coaches Pitch League pay $5.00 for participation. PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE PAYMENT WITH THE REGISTRATION FORM.
ANY FORM RECEIVED AFTER THE April 8th DEADLINE MUST INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OF $5.00.
Please call 217-682-3378 should you have any questions.
I believe that we will be getting tickets for a Cardinals’ game for early-June—perhaps June 5.
