The stands are empty. No one is in the dugouts. And the fields are in need of a little TLC after the winter. But it will not be that way very much longer.

Registration is now going on for Tee Ball for ages 3 ½ to 6 and Coach Pitch for ages 6-10. Registration runs through Friday March 3rd.

Red River Elementary Coach Ginger Craig said “We’re planning to start the season in late March and finish mid to late May. Games will be played at City Park two evenings per week.”

Parents of Red River Elementary School students received a form last week. Parents of children not attending RRES may pick up a form at the school. Coach Craig emphasizes that all forms, fees and other required information must be turned in at the school by Friday.

For older children, ages 14 and up, co-ed registration registration begins next week. If co-ed registers 5 or more teams, they will start play in mid April.

And Craig asks “Please keep in mind we will need coaches and team sponsors for both Tee Ball and Coach Pitch.” And of course other volunteers are needed as well.
