Crazy Sock Night, Player Clinic and Other Key Dates

01.24.13

Wow – Spring 2013 Softball Season is right around the corner! Here are a few dates to mark on the calendar.
Our first league-wide event of the season is Crazy Sock Night, next Wednesday, 30 Jan, in the BIS Auditorium. This is big night when all the girls finally get to meet their teammates and coaches for the upcoming 2013 season (plus, as the name suggests, the coaches will hand out the Crazy Socks)! Please try to arrive no later than 6:30, so that we can start the program at 6:45 sharp.
BIS is located at 1715 Queseda Way, one block south of Trousdale, and a couple of blocks west of El Camino – click here for a map. Parking can be an issue around BIS, so leave a couple of extra minutes to walk from down the block.

Other key upcoming dates to note:
• PLAYER CLINIC FEB 3 SUNDAY - For 6U, 8U and 10U players (and their coaches) – Clinic with the Cal Gamers (Burlingame-based A-ball team) on Sunday, 3 Feb 2013 at 8:30 AM – please see attached flyer for all the details (and save $10 by registering in advance). This is a great chance for our younger girls to come out and start their season off with some professional training from the Gamers coaching staff, and work directly with the Gamer players (high school age), several whom are former Burlingame Flames. To sign up go to www.burlingamer.com and sign up!
• COACH CLINIC JAN 27 SUNDAY – Franklin Field 2:00-4:30 - this is free for all coaches and assistant coaches - sharpen your coaching skills before the season starts with professional instruction by Cutting Edge Softball!
