Had a meeting with the incoming City Of Dayton Mayor, Nan Whaley yesterday. She was very receptive to our suggestions and needs for the Dayton Metro tournament. I am very hopeful that most if not all will be taken care of for this year.

Fences being the one that has the highest cost of course. We asked that they determine how many of the plastic fences the city still has that we can use. Our goal would be to get fences in place for the 9 Kettering field 16/18u diamonds.

Fences would be great as all big tournaments should have them. It really changes the game when you do not have fences. Clean potties is always nice to.

I think the best goal would to be to get fences at all of the fields. It has been talked about for years. Time to make it happen.

Fields on the main complex are nice, but I cannot stand the fields away from the complex. Poor condition and poorly maintained; not the fault of the TD or staff - it is the City of Dayton.

Doug... Our check was cashed but don't see our team listed in 12u, for tournament planning purposes are we in or on a waiting list?

Wizards-Blackswamp 12u

Got you! I apologize, I thought I had updated and added you.. .last team in at 12u!

What I do know from the meeting is that the city will properly prepare ALL the fields, have proper staff on hand (4-6 workers instead of 2), and have the porta potties emptied Sat and Sun morning... they are going to 'look' and see how many fences they have in good shape. Nan Whaley was very receptive to helping us.

Quick update: the city has committed to standing up their poly vinyl fences on the 4 fields in the middle, we purchased 5 fences for the 5 field complex as shown below giving us 9 fenced in fields.

These are just going into the main complex used by 16/18u? Good start. Thanks for listening to the requests. Hopefully you can get more each year.

 

[default]

Good start and nice to hear that. Now lets hope it happens, from the city end of things

 

[default]

We will purchase 5 more fences next year - goal to have them on all fields at Kettering. Next year we will be holding the 10u and 12u a week earlier - as they do not have school ball conflicts - they will be able to use the 9 lighted fields. We can also open it up to non-ohio teams - not sure we are going to do that yet - still debating. The 14u-18u will be this same weekend in June but we can handle 96 teams in those age groups. College coaches will appreciate that.
