Image result for Host a baseball player

Interested in becoming a Host Family -
As a club we have decided we may need to have an import for the 2015/16 season. For this to be possible we need to have a host family or families willing to open up their home.
The duration of their stay would be from approx. September 2015 through to March 2016, we know this is a lot to ask of just one family so we are open to the idea of splitting this between 2-3 families with a minimum of 8 weeks in one home, as not to disrupt the player to much.

During this time host families are asked to provide a bedroom with a bed and easy access to a bathroom facilities, access to your home with their own keys and to provide meals as required. Beyond that we only ask that you provide a welcoming environment and simply make them feel like they are at home. Of course if this is something you are interested in there would be finer details to be agreed upon between the player and host family.

The benefits for you and your family are many, if you have a son or daughter who plays baseball the mentor-ship will be invaluable. These imports have played competitive baseball for most of their life and have the skills and knowledge that I am sure can only benefit your family and also a bond that will last many years to come.

If this is something you would be interested in please drop us an email.

Thanks

U16s Eagles Summer Series Sydney

Last weekend our Vikings U16 boys, along with “friendlies” Matty Gaughran and Josh Murray participated in the Eagles Summer Series competition held by Sydney Diamond Sports.

It was a beautiful weekend of baseball, the weather was amazing and the Aquatic Centre had some lovely playing fields.  As a club team playing against Association sides it was great to see how competitive our boys were.  Of the four games we had a win, a draw and 2 losses, but were in a position to win each game and definitely showed that we had the right stuff.

It was particularly impressive to see that when the team was behind the boys didn’t give up but persevered and on two occasions were unlucky to run out of game time in the middle of remarkable comebacks.

Canteen assistance needed this Sunday 12th October
This weekend marks the commencement of all senior games. On Sunday we host games at Viking Park, and as such we will need to open our canteen. As many of you know, our very-hard-working Sharon Cappello has recently had a knee replacement and desperately needs support to run the canteen while she is rehabilitating. Obviously we can't have her standing in there all day! If you think you can help out even for as little as half an hour, can you please let us know what time and for how long, by email tvikingsbaseballtuggeranong@gmail.com

Game times on Sunday are as follows:

3rd Grade 10am start
2nd grade 12:30 start
1st grade 3pm start
Apologies for the short notice on this, but we hadn't expected our first games of the season to be at home ground.
