Welcome to the 2015 Minor Rookie Ball season!
This year will have 6 Lucan-Ilderton Minor Rookie teams, 3 from Lucan and 3 from Ilderton, that will be playing in our in-house league. Our season will begin on Wednesday May 20 and finish with a year end BBQ on Saturday July 25. All games will be played on Wednesday nights in Lucan and Ilderton. 6pm will be the start time for a 30 minute practice followed by a three inning game beginning at approximately 6:30pm.
A reminder of important dates to book into your calendar:

A few house keeping things regarding uniforms and equipment.
The Lucan-Ilderton Baseball Association will provide each team with an equipment bag with balls, catching equipment and helmets for pitchers. Each child or family, if they do not already own one, is expected to purchase their own batting helmet for use during the season. Home Run Sports in London offers a 10% discount when you purchase equipment through them when you mention that you are apart of Lucan-Ilderton Minor Baseball. We also strongly encourage all kids to purchase a bat for their use during the season. Each child should also have their own ball glove.
A ball hat and team jersey will be provided by the organization for your kids to keep.
For footwear, running shoes will suffice. Ball cleats are optional.
I think this covers everything.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks and have a great ball season.
