Good morning HYAA Families!

Happy Opening Day! We hope you are as excited as we are! Some things we want to share with you.

D Bat will have a table at Collins Field near the concession stand with all of your baseball and softball gear needs for sale! 10% of sales will be donated by D Bat back to HYAA!

New First Aid kits have been stocked at every field. Whether in the storage area or concession stand area, we want to make sure you knew we are ready in the unfortunate event of an injury.

And lastly, HYAA has a new Executive Board. We want to thank our outgoing Executive Board of Patrick Cummings, Nick Schumacher, Alex Stanford, and Ben Meyers who have served HYAA for many years in these roles. Their leadership, service, and passion for the league have made a lasting impact on our players and community and we are thankful!

New Executive Board members are:

President - Travis Allen
Vice President - Adam Walker
Treasurer - Levi Beneville
Secretary - Eric Reese

We are excited about the new changes and opportunities ahead for HYAA and our new Executive Board.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the ball field today!

Play Ball!

Hello HYAA Families!

As we get closer to the start of the Fall Season, we need to gather for a quick clean up day at all of our fields!

**When? TOMORROW! Saturday August 15

**What time? 9am (we won't stop anyone from going earlier to beat the heat)

**Where should you go?
T-Ball, MP30, Rookie, 8u and Softball, 8u hawks --> Collins Field
Exchange, 9u & 10u hawks --> Exchange
Schely & 11u hawks --> Schley
10u and 14u Softball --> Efland Cheeks
Diamond --> Cedar Grove
12u & 13u hawks --> Cedar Grove Ruritan

**What should I do?
Biggest needs are:
-W**d eating/whacking
-Site Clean up and over growth cut back (maybe a pole saw for low hanging branches)
-Conex box/Storage Sheds clean out and organizing
-Equipment checks (catchers gear, helmets, bats, Tees, machines)
-Concession Stand cleaning (wipe down, check machines and operation)
-Trash Can organizing
-Fence and dug out inspection

**What if I can't help Saturday?
We always need help mowing! Ask your head coach or division commissioner for more info! This needs to happen throughout the season and at least once a week. Right now you can hear the grass grow so maybe more often if needed!

We look forward to seeing y'all again and we appreciate the efforts!
