Now the Norsemen blog
I'm converting the Dodgers blog to the Norsemen blog. Here you will find emails and updates about our Iowa Games 14U team. Here is the email I sent out to the parents.
We are officially entered into the Iowa Games. For now there are 9 teams in the 14 and Under, and they will take up to 12 teams. I expect we will play 2 games on Saturday, and 1 or 2 on Sunday.
Despite what I may have told you previously, we are not going to use the Dodgers uniforms. I forgot the players keep their Norsemen shirts, so we will be playing under the banner of the Roland-Story Norsemen with the Jr Hi shirts and hats. We have one player, Alex Good outside of Roland-Story, and I have secured a shirt for him. Alex will just have to come up with a black hat of some kind, and that will be close enough.
The players are CJ Arnold, Michael Finley, Jerald Fritz, Alex Good, Logan Greiner, Ryan Hadaway, Sam Mathis, Will McGraw, Nick Moore, Tyler Rivers, Landon Stalzer, and Parker Witthuhn. Kent Arnold and I will be coaching.
So I will need $15 from each of you to cover our $190 entry fee. That can be in cash or check. I also need to get your signature on a waiver form no later than July 16.
Our first practice is tentatively Saturday July 9 at 9:30AM at the East Diamond, and will run 2 hours. I realize it is vacay time, and if you are on vacay, or have the wrestling events I know about, that is fine, just let me know if your son can't make it. Then I'm guessing we will have 2 practices the following week, and 2 more the week leading into game.
For the past couple years, I have done a blog for my North Story teams. I don't want to do another one, so I will just continue on with my Dodgers blog of this year. I post my emails there, as well as additional commentary about games and practices. Also updates if rain looks like it might wash us out. So save this link

As a reminder, the rules are pretty much the same as Jr.Hi/HS, bat 9 with substitution. My goal is to get everybody at least 1 at bat a game, with 2 innings in the field, though that may change due to opponent and game situation. I ran a pretty loose ship on my North Story teams, but we are going to tighten that up on this team. And as always, I have 4 rules on my teams
1. Be safe (no swinging bats and throwing balls around unprepared people)
2. Have fun (I expect positive attitudes with no hovering black clouds)
3. Good sportsmanship (support your teammates, no running the mouth at umpires, no smack to opponents)
4. Look like a ballplayer (hats forward, shirts tucked in, hustle to and from your position between innings)
I'm looking forward to this. Not sure whether we will roll, or get rolled by our opponents, but I like our chances.
