NOTICE FOR CURRENT EVENTS

Michiana,

Registrations for Winter Workouts are open! This is our program where your child can work indoors during the winter months on conditioning, hitting, fielding, and pitching. It is led by East Side coaches and volunteers that have passed our background checks and the Babe Ruth coaching certifications. This program is separate from our Elite hybrid-travel program.

Also,

It is election season at East Side. We are a volunteer run organization. Nominations occur for our Executive Board, then that group appoints the remainder of the operational positions. No Executive Board member is paid for their time. 

Nominations occurred at our September board meeting on 9-9-24. At our October board meeting, which will be on 10-14-24, we will be accepting further nominations. Elections will happen on November 11th.  We always meet on the second Monday of the month, in the meeting room in the upstairs of the clubhouse. Time is 7:30PM. If you are able and willing to get more involved in this amazing organization, you will need to attend the October meeting to find out more information. 

 

They are champions in our book!

East Side Families,

 We are very proud of Coach Blasko and his 10U-Red All Star Team. They played very well in the 2024 Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth World Series! They won a game in pool play, then moved on to the Ironman bracket, and won another game! 

 There were 24 other teams vying for the prestigious title, coming from all over the globe. Coach Blasko's team represented East Side and Michiana with dignity and fortitude. The Board of Directors is extremely proud of their accomplishments!

UPDATE:

 In addition, Rodney Hubbard was one of ten players selected to the All Tournament Team! What a great distinction! Congrats Rodney!

 

There is a YouTube channel called "Region Sports Network" that aired all of the World Series games. For a limited time, I believe that you can go to their channel, and rewatch most of the games.

Here is the team roster, who made forever type memories:

 Zane Barber, Baylen Blasko, Jackson Garrett, Brady Heatherly, Rowan Holderread, Rodney Hubbard Jr., Cooper Kranenburg, Luke Sollmann, Ryder Stackman, Roland Troiola, Landen Vail, & Easton White. 

GO EAST SIDE!!

  • Show respect and demonstrate sportsmanship towards their teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, parents, and league volunteers at all times
  • Put in a high level of effort to practice new baseball and softball skills learned while embracing a growth mindset in which errors and strikeouts are an opportunity to learn and not something to be feared
  • Have fun learning while making new friends and celebrating improvement and achievements
