Wow, where did the time go?
As we approach the end of our first month of play in SunCreek LL's 2010 season, I am thankful for the coaches and volunteers that are the structure and backbone of baseball and t-ball for 400 kids in our community. 400 kids! That's bigger than some schools! We could not do it without volunteers who make the baseball and t-ball games a reality...from organization and equipment, to uniforms and safety, to field reservations and on-field teaching and coaching.
SunCreek currently has 32 teams, with kids aged 5-12. Our Majors level has two teams, the Giants and the Mariners, competing in a District 4 league with teams from Wolf Creek LL, Beaverton Area LL, Forest Grove LL, and Murrayhill LL. In addition, they are currently playing in the D4 "Jugs Pitching Machine" Tournament at Sunset Park.
The AAA level has six teams, all named after current minor-league ballclubs: Scrappers, Volcanoes, Bulls, Muck Dogs, Storm and Bats. They compete within SCLL, but have two weekends of playing other D4 teams. At the annual AAA "Jugs Pitching Machine" Tournament earlier this month, five of those teams advanced out of pool play.
Our six AA teams are named after National League clubs: Mets, Cardinals, Dodgers, Giants, Phillies and Cubs. They compete within SCLL and is our first level of kid pitch.
Single A baseball is our coach-pitch level, and features all American League club names: Angels, Rangers, Mariners, Athletics,Yankees, Red Sox, Royals and Orioles.
Finally, our ten T-Ball teams are named after National League teams: Marlins, Cubs, Reds, Phillies, Braves, Nationals, Cardinals, Brewers, Astros and Pirates.
Game schedules are available for all the teams under "Divisions/Teams" tab on the SunCreek Little League website. We are finding more and more volunteers contributing to the SCLL Facebook page with photos and game highlights; check it out at www.facebook.com/SunCreekLL.
Thanks again for playing SunCreek Little League!
