Volunteerism is Our Key to Success Please Treat Our Young Umpires with Patience and Respect Recreational Play versus Competitive Play Volunteerism is Our Key to Success If our Association is to achieve excellence, we all must "step to the plate" and give some of our time. We can pledge that "We are committed to excellence," however, we can only achieve excellence with the support of more than a core group of volunteers. Many others must become more involved. I have been most pleased with the support of a number of volunteers in the months since I've assumed the President's position, and look forward to receiving support from others as this season evolves. There have been a number of noticeable improvements in the last few months, and it could not have been accomplished without the time and effort of volunteers. I will call upon others to volunteer their time as the season gets underway. Don't be surprised to receive a phone call in the coming months. Please make the call to me (412-714-0212) to offer your services, even if it is only a couple of hours per season. Thank you!! top of page Please Treat Our Young Umpires with Patience and Respect I ask each and everyone (i.e., Managers, Players, and Parents) to treat our young umpires with patience and respect. Remember, these young men are doing a service for our Association, and are doing their best. There is no doubt that mistakes will be made; they are only human. There will be zero tolerance of any disrespect to any of our young umpires. Managers and players, remember to say thank you to our umpires after the game. Thank you. top of page Recreational Play versus Competitive Play It is my strong desire to make our Association one that affords all of our players an opportunity to get the most of their experience. Recognizing that our players are of all talent levels, we will offer a program that appeals to all. For those who want to participate for the recreation and fun of baseball, we will offer a program that meets their needs. And for those who take the game a bit more serious, and who have dreams of playing at the high school level or beyond, we will offer a program that allows them to develop their skills to the fullest. We will not only have an excellent in-house program, we will also emphasize and sponsor tournament play, and always look to be part of the best leagues available in the area. It is my intention to develop our Association into one that others recognize as a quality program.
