LET'S PLAY BALL!

A Message From Our President...

Dear Friends and Families of Post Oak Little League,

Welcome to another exciting year of baseball at Post Oak Little League! This season we have over 600 players participating on 53 teams over 4 divisions in the league. Post Oak Little League (POLL) has been in existence for more than 53 years and is set up as a private non-profit corporation organized solely to provide opportunities for the children, within our Little League of America established boundaries, to learn and to participate in the game of baseball. Through volunteerism, support, and cooperation, Post Oak Little League not only focuses on providing our children a quality baseball education, but also prepares them for life challenges by setting examples and reinforcing strong family values.

As we head into our 54th season, I would like to thank all of the volunteers for their dedication to POLL. Much time and effort is required from many leaders, volunteers, coaches, parents, and players to make our league what it is today. Our league would not exist without the help of all of those that sacrifice their time on behalf of POLL. I would also like to especially thank T.H. Rogers School and the Trotter Family YMCA for their cooperation during the past year while we made a few upgrades to our facilities during the offseason. The upgrades to our facility this offseason included new batting cages for all divisions including new nets and new turf flooring in all cages, new power panel for the Pee Wee and Junior fields, various field upgrades, and most importantly a new rental bathroom facility for the Pee Wee and Junior fields. You will notice that all of the Port-a-Cans have been removed from the facility in order to make room for our temporary bathroom facility for this season. I am also happy to report that this season we will be launching a Capital Campaign for a permanent bathroom facility by the Junior and Pee Wee fields along with a new concessions building with new bathrooms for the Minors and Majors fields. We are currently estimating to start construction on this project this summer so it will be ready in time for the 2011 season. More information will be coming on this in the very near future.

2010 will also mark the third year that POLL has been affiliated with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). This national organization was created “to transform the culture of youth sports to give all athletes the opportunity for a positive, character-building experience.” There is no better opportunity to have such a positive impact on a young person’s life than during the impressionable years of little league baseball. For more information on this great organization, please visit their website at www.positivecoach.org. We are proud to be affiliated with such a fine organization.

Lastly, I would like to thank this year’s Board of Directors, Women’s Auxiliary, Committee Chairs, Sponsors, Donors, and countless number of volunteers who make POLL such a successful league. Very few leagues are as fortunate as ours. It is because of the tireless effort of all of those involved that make it such a wonderful experience for the kids.

I am honored to serve as POLL President this season and to have the opportunity to give back to a league that has given my family and I such great memories thru the years. I look forward to seeing you and yours at the ball park creating more of these memories. Let’s Play Ball!
