Sunday January 25th was a beautiful sunny day in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. We had another huge turnout for the clinics and the kids had a fine day as they prepared for the Spring 2010 youth baseball season. The Babe Ruth and  Cal Ripken tryouts are next week end February 6th and 7th and Pleasant Hill High School. Base on the clinics, this should be another great year for Billies baseball.

Sunday January 24th was another wet and rainy Oregon day but that did not stop the excellent turn out for the Babe Ruth youth baseball clinic held in Pleasant Hill. As I tried to count heads at the Pleasant Hill High School and Middle School gyms it looked as if at least 60 youngsters from Creswell, Cottage Grove, Pleasant Hill, Oakridge, Dexter and Lowell were participating in today’s clinic.

The coaching staff was well represents with Babe Ruth coaches, Pleasant Hill High School players and other guest coaches. The coaches and kids seemed to be working well together and things seemed to be going smoothly.

As the boys worked on the mechanics of pitching, batting and fielding you could see the excitement in their faces. There was no doubt that the kids are enthused about getting back into the game.

If you did not make this clinic you are still welcome to attend next Sunday’s clinic – January 31st. Rain or no rain this will be another great clinic as the players get ready for the Spring 2010 season.

Tryouts and registration for Pleasant Hill Babe Ruth will be held on February 6th and 7th at the Pleasant Hill High School gymnasium.  Players between the ages of 7 and 14 will register at that time. T-ball registration will be held at a later date. Youth from Lane County Oregon school districts of Pleasant Hill, Creswell, Oakridge, Cottage Grove play in the Pleasant Hill division of the Willamette Valley Babe Ruth Baseball League.
