​Hello Gage Park,

  It is time to pack up the gear after another excellent season of Softball.
On behalf of myself, Laurel and the rest of the park, I’d like to take this time to thank our volunteers.
Special thanks to Arlene who had the concession hut open every night and Shane, Cheryl and Nathalie
who fed all of our kids and parents at the BBQ tirelessly.

We had seven full teams of Tballers, with one team each week at a scheduled practice. This let us gather
all the best ideas, and there were lots, from our coaches. This made practices and games for the
smallest ones fun and worthwhile for everyone.

The Junior division improved the skills of its players by miles this season. Progressing from a sort of Tball
match, to a real game. Thanks to all the coaches that staffed our weekly open practices, your effort was
apparent in the exciting final games and the smiles on the players.

The intermediate Division had an influx of energetic new coaches (and one rather old one). We also had
weekly open practices so no one who wanted to learn and practice had to go without help. This made
for an exciting season and playoff tournament.

The young adults in the senior division impressed with their dedication to their teams and competition
as usual, but especially this year, to the Gage Park Community. A big hand for our student coaches,
umpires and helpers that give such hope and promise for the future.

Next year we will continue to revive the select softball program, revise the registration system and have
a fund raiser for some new gear. All of these things will require us to work together more closely.

Sounds Great, Let’s look forward to next Season,
Can’t wait to see everyone again,
So long, for now,
Coach Mark
