2014 Ahavas Yisroel Baseball Registration

Another year has passed, and it is time once again to prepare for AY Baseball (boys grades 3 - 8).  As a member of CAY and/ or returning AY Baseball player, you are entitled to first priority registration.  To do so, please note the following:

•	Registration:  Registration will be held on Wednesday, January 1, 2014, between 4:30 and 8:30 PM, at the home of Simcha and Adina Shapiro (75-04 Vleigh Place). The registration fee is the same as last year: $100 for AY members and $125.00 for non-members.  This includes all individual and team costs associated with AY’s participation in the 2014 Jewish Community Little League (JCLL) season, as well as all team equipment expenses.  Registration, liability waiver, and parent code conduct forms may be downloaded from the Ahavas Yisroel blogspot or obtained by sending an e-mail to baseball@caykgh.org.

•	Payment and Placement:  As a shul member and/or returning AY baseball player, you have first priority to register.  To properly do so and preserve your place, you must complete the registration, liability waiver, and parent code of conduct forms, along with a check payable to Cong. Ahavas Yisroel (members may alternatively elect to have it billed to your shul account) on January 1.  Sample uniforms will be available at that time for those who need.  In order for us to comply with all JCLL requirements and deadlines, it is imperative that you adhere to the registration deadline of January 1.  Anyone registering after January 1 will be accommodated on a first-come, first-serve basis only.  Note, however, that registration does NOT guarantee placement.  Placement is subject to team and coaching availability.  While requests for specific team placement and/or placement with friends will be considered and, if possible, accommodated.  Understand, however, that inevitably, not every request can be honored.

•	Commitment:  By registering, EVERY player is making a commitment to attend ALL games.  Parents are encouraged to attend and urged, if possible, to assist in managing/coaching duties.  When registering, please indicate whether you are available to manage, coach or supervise practices (to be determined by coaches but are usually held on Friday afternoons).  In the event a team does not have a manager/coach, that team will not be fielded.

•	Uniforms:  The uniforms will be the same as last year.  The jersey is a two-button pullover made of 100% polyester wicking knit that takes moisture away from the body.  The old style shirts may still be worn if desired.  Numbers and names will be included as in previous years.  A date(s) will be scheduled for fitting after registration has concluded.  The gray polyester baseball pants will remain a required part of the official AY uniform.  Please note that JCLL rules prohibit players from wearing shorts.  Denim or cotton trousers, although permitted, are highly discouraged.  They are not conducive to running and are very uncomfortable when wearing a protective cup, which is mandated by both the JCLL and the Williamsport Little League, with whom the JCLL is affiliated.  Players are permitted, but not required, to wear shoes with rubber cleats only. 

•	Uniform costs:
•	Jersey - $27.50 (includes last name and number; if you have a jersey from last year, please provide it on your registration form.  If you are entering a new division and have a jersey with a number that is already taken, you may be asked to purchase a new jersey)
•	Pants - $17.50
•	Hat - $12.00 
•	Sweatshirt (crew neck) - $18.00
