It is hard to believe that the regular season will be over in less than two weeks - Closing Ceremonies will be Friday evening, May 9, 2003 at 6 PM Players should be dressed in uniforms. The ceremony should last about one hour and all players will receive their trophies and our coveted Scott Carrigan Award will be announced as well.

Park Ball Tournament: Will be played the week of Monday, May 12, 2003. Games will be played at 5:45 PM and 7:30 PM at Carrigan and Tuscawilla Parks, It will be a single elimination tournament and your child's coach will be notified of your first game time by Wednesday, May 7, 2003. Please remember this year's tournament fees were included in your original registration fees, so all you need to do is show up and have a good time!

All-star Update: In order to develop a competitive team capable of participating in a state wide tournament, each coach has taken time to nominate a player or players from his team that statistically supports being ready to compete at this high level. From there, the 1st place coach at each age group is given the first opportunity to coach the team. A meeting of all head coaches takes place as soon as the season is completed and they vote on each child nominated for the team. Each year there are children who do not make the final cut; that Moms, Dads, and even Head Coaches think should have.
This is, has been and will always be a part of children's athletics. "Scott Carrigan'' will do its utmost to uphold the integrity of this process in hopes of fielding District 7 and State Championship caliber teams.
If your child is selected to represent Scott Carrigan Baseball League in the 2003 State All-Stars, please be prepared to commit 3 to 5 days of practice a week between May 19, 2003 and June 22, 2003 (approx.), preparing the kids for tournament play. There will also be fundraising activities associated with participation.

Pre-registration 2004 Spring Baseball: This year we were blessed with a great overall turnout for registration. In first, in the Rookie and Minor age groups, we were forced to turn away over 60 children.
Therefore, we would like to extend an opportunity to all of this year's eligible players to reserve their spot for the 2004 Spring baseball season, before we fill up. Each coach or team mom will have a 2004 Spring Registration Roster available for you to sign up at Closing Ceremonies. There will be no upfront cost to do so, just your basic information so we may contact you in December and announce when and where to come out and pay your registration fees.

Batting Facility Update: Our Blueprints have been finalized and we are currently working out the final details with the City to begin permitting. On April 15th, the Board of County Commissioners voted in favor of a $7,500 grant from the P.E.L.A.K. Committee, and our Board also voted in favor of allocating $7,500 in matching funds. Anyone interested in helping with this project this summer and fall, please let Michael Mazzurco know as soon as possible.
