Dave Cassels Quotations

We're looking to start in mid to late February and run through March and all of April.

Basically, everything anyone needs to know about minor baseball will be there.

John is a really efficient guy when it comes to this kind of stuff, and he has been really good at helping out the association. He's been involved in all of the layout and planning for the website.

We need to hear from coaches and other volunteers as soon as possible, so we can start assigning them to teams.

We're still working on it, but we're hoping to have it up and running soon. We think it will be a great tool for players, coaches and parents, because it will help them access information. One of the things we have been trying to do over the past year is improve the lines of communication between the executive, parents, coaches and players, and we think the website will be a great way of helping with that communication.

With Christmas and all, it's a difficult time to be thinking about baseball, but we feel the earlier we can start planning for next season the better.

We're hoping to get 60 kids signed up, but if we get 120 I can tell you we won't turn them away. It will be a structured program, with coaches teaching the kids how to hit and field properly.

We tried to get one started a few years ago, but it never really got off the ground.

Besides throwing the ball around, it's also a good time for the players and coaches to meet each other and get to know each other better.

It is very important we get the players registered as early as possible.

It's the only way we can stay ahead of the other communities, when it comes to having competitive teams.

It's something we wanted to do last year as part of our two-year plan, but it kind of got left behind with other things. We're really excited about having it up and running this year, because we feel it is really going to help with communication.

The interest is there and we think we can make a good go of it.
