Mustang Parents and Players,

Don't forget about the Mustang League Evaluations that will be held this Saturday, March 20 at the Baierl Center on the North Allegheny Senior High School campus. In order to get a better look at the players and to avoid an excessive amount of idle time for the players, we will be splitting the players into two groups and evaluating them at different times.

Players whose last names start with A - J will be evaluated from 4:00-5:00.
Players whose last names start with K - Z will be evaluated from 5:00-6:00.

Please report to the Baierl Center 15 minutes before your scheduled time to allow time
for check-in, warming up, etc. so we are ready to begin on the hour.

We realize that these evaluations overlap a little with the Night at the Races, so we are going to do everything we can to stay on schedule to minimize any inconvenience.

Remember that the evaluations are taking place so that the coaches can attempt to form teams that are as equally balanced as possible. These are not tryouts - all players who register will be placed on a team. During the evaluations, we are going to run the players through a few stations to watch them field grounders, throw to bases, catch fly balls, pitch, hit, and run. Then sometime later in the weekend or early next week, the coaches will get together to draft fair teams. The coaches will then contact you next week to let you know to which team your son has been assigned. Practices will then start shortly thereafter.

Speaking of managers, I am pleased to announce that the same seven managers that managed last year will be returning again this year. These managers are Mike Blackburn, Jeff Catanzarite, Walt Frank, E.J. Heckert, Greg Potts, Lou Stanasolovich and Jerry Wall.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through email (djohnson@ifpaa.org).

Hello 2010 Mustang Players and Parents,

Although it may seem early to start thinking about baseball, the Spring season will be here before you know it. To start getting ready for the upcoming season, we will be holding a couple of clinics in February. These clinics will be held at Ingomar Middle School on Friday, February 5, from 8-10 PM and on Friday,
February 12, from 6-8 PM.

Players may attend one or both clinics, and there is no cost for the clinics. However, if you do plan to attend a clinic(s), please RSVP so that we can plan accordingly and have enough equipment and facilitators.

We are still finalizing the details, but we will most likely be covering basic fundamentals as well as introducing some more advanced skills in fielding, pitching, and baserunning. Check the Mustang page of the IFPAA web site as the date approaches to learn more about the topics that will be covered during the clinics.

And if you ever have any questions or concerns about the clinics or the baseball season in general, please do not hesitate to email or to give me a call at the number below. Hope to see you all in the gym and on the field!
