Will you be posting the results after each week?

[old-timer]

I will post scores of teams after the second week. Still have teams that are signing up. Had 8 more girls sign up today,
the league is up to about 17 teams(3 players per team). Has really taken off to be a good thing for players.

As for able to hit on Sunday, I am checking on availability. Should have an answer by Monday Night.

MD,

If you have a few players that would like to be in the league, they could hit on Sunday Mornings if they can't at any other time.
Let me know!

Possibly, we have had a great turnout for this first session (17 teams of 3 members each) I will give these players first opportunities to return. Our schedule will limit us to how many teams we can open it up to. There will be info on SEOP about mid Dec.

Also, hope to have some of the hitting leaders in each league posted by Monday night for anyone interested.
I believe the majority of the players have enjoyed the league and find it very beneficial.
Players seem to enjoy hitting more in the cages with a bit of competition with the scoring aspect.
