EMLL Families,
Welcome to our fall baseball season. Please read the following carefully as it contains a lot of important information.
GameChanger App:
If you are new to EMLL or have not played with us since last fall, please download the GameChanger app and sign in / create an account with the same email you used to register your player(s) with EMLL. You will see a team show up with your player after the draft on August 24th. This is where you will see the game schedule as well as list of players and coaches. The app also has a chat feature to everyone on the team and you can message coaches independently through the app by clicking on their name and selecting “Send Message”
Co-op Practices:
Start Wednesday, August 13.
Machine Pitch M & W 5:30-7:00 PM Skinned Field
Minors Tu & Th 5:30-7:00 PM Minors Field
Majors M & W 5:30-7:00 PM Majors Field
Juniors Tu & Th: 5:30-7:00 PM Juniors Field

Concession stand:
The Concession stand will be open starting August 18. We will make every effort to have a selection of drinks and food available during co-op practices but we are all volunteer run at this point so sometimes we may not have someone available to open. Parents will start to be able to put in their volunteer shifts during practices. Keep an eye out for the SignUp Genius info soon. Please also note, that toward the last few weeks of games, we will be running down inventory and will not continue to have everything in stock.
Concession Stand Volunteer Commitment
Unless you paid for the concession buy-out during registration for each of your registered players, each family is required to volunteer in the concession stand for one full game/practice or 2 half games/practice.

Clean Up Day:
Saturday October 18, 9 AM - 1 PM. EMLL is volunteer run and we need everyone to pitch in to get our park ready for winter. Even if you only have an hour to spare, it makes a big impact.
