BUDDY DAYS ARE COMING UP!
SBLL Buddy Day is a tradition that all players love: we pair up a Majors (or AAA) team with its corresponding TBall team, and have the Majors players on the field with their TBall counterparts. Although we can't have our usual festivities that normally go along with this day (special food vendors, bounce houses, etc), we are going to have "Buddy Day" games this Saturday and next.
Buddy Day has been a big part of the SBLL experience over the years. We need your help to make this memorable for our players. Below are some of the details to consider to prep for the 5/15 and 5/22 Buddy Days. Pictures and treats are encouraged!
Who is Involved: All 6 T-Ball Teams, all 5 Majors Teams, 1 AAA Team
How will this impact the schedule: Changes to T-ball game times on 5/15 and 5/22; warm-ups for Majors games and one AAA game will be shortened to 30 minutes
Format: Majors Team arrives 15 minutes prior to T-Ball game, helps warm-up players, and then “buddies” up with T-Ball player while batting, running bases, and in the field. After game, Majors players leave for their game. T-Ball players and families are invited to watch their “buddies” play.
