Tuesday, May 7th, 6-8 pm
 Roc-Star Ice Cream and Eatery
All Children present at Roc Star registration receive a free small ice cream compliments of Roc Star Ice Cream!

Additional Sign Up Date: Saturday, May 11th, 2019 from 12-130PM @ Waterville Library in Children's Room.

Age Limits:
TEE BALL: Players (all genders) must be 4 years old before Sept 1, 2019 and not older than 8 on or before Aug 31, 2019.

COACH PITCH AND MINOR: Players (all genders) must be 7 years old before Sept 1, 2019 and not older than 13 on or before August 31, 2019.
(***5 and 6 year olds who have played 1 year of tee ball are eligible to play coach pitch although parents should use discretion with their child's skill level/ability)

VOLUNTEERS: We need parents with any knowledge levels about baseball to assist with coaching, supervising, and assisting in various ways. These players are young and need help with putting on helmets, being supervised in dug out, so they are not climbing fences or swinging bats, assistance with putting on gloves between innings. No adults are allowed on the field or in the dug out without a volunteer form being filled out. More volunteers helps our teams remain smaller which helps the players have more times to bat and run which is their favorite part at that age. When teams get large, the kids becomes less patient in the dug out. The goal of baseball at this level is to help gain their interest and learn the most basic skills to play, so they will want to continue at higher levels.
GAME DAYS: Tee ball games are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting in the end of June.
Coach pitch and minor league games are on Mondays and Thursdays starting in the end of June.
Please contact me with questions or if the available sign up dates do not work in your schedule.
Thanks,
Courtney Spatto

More flowering bushes and flowers are beginning to show off their colors.




With the break in rain, all who can be outside seem to be making reason to do so. Spring reading. Spring walks. Spring cleaning.

As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice.      The prism effect of light passing through these six-sided ice crystals separates the light in...
