Sandlot Fun Day

We are excited to present our first Sandlot Fun Day for players ages 8 and up! Join us July 31 for a fun, relaxed game of baseball where the kids make the rules, lineups, and the calls.

How does it work?
Players should arrive around 5:30. There will be sign-in tables at the upper and lower fields. BLL volunteers will help direct players to the appropriate age group. We will have fields set up for:

- 8-10 Baseball
- 8-10 softball
- 11-12 Baseball
- 11-12 Softball
- 60/90 field for older players
- 8:00 PM - Softball for 13+ players
- 8:00 PM - Baseball for players 15+

Why are you having a Sandlot day?
We want to get more kids out and playing ball. When coaches and officials are removed kids can get back to having fun and learning the game. We will have BLL staff onsite, but they will not be providing instruction to the players. We encourage parents to cheer, but avoid coaching or influencing the game from the sidelines.

How much does it cost?
FREE!!! We will not charge to sign up, but our concessions stands will be open in a limited capacity and we will be offering BBQ plates for our summer fundraiser. We encourage you to support BLL and get a plate.

What should my player bring?
Players should have a glove, bat, and batting helmet. Catchers should provide their own gear if possible. We will have gear available in case some players do not have it. Why is it limited to players 8 and up? The games will be entirely player driven. We will not have coaches and parents on the field with the players (but we will have staff present to ensure safety). We encourage parents with younger kids to come out as well to share in the fun.
