Awesome, we filled that last 16u spot!!! Now lets fill the last 14u spot. Therefore Greg can make the schedules and get them to their respective coaches. Fall ball is a very enjoyable time of the year to play fastpitch. If you haven't played before and your are wondering whether to do it or not, it is a good chance to see your newly formed team, or even for your returning team, play and enjoy themselves. Please feel free to contact Greg, Bruce or myself with any questions.

Thanks, and hopefully we get your team to sign up.

Convenient how Greg scheduled Fall Ball to end the weekend before the Buckeyes travel one state to their East for a show down at "Happy Valley".

Harp
you should have seen the day when his girls gave him a 3rd place finish at pony nationals, and in return he had to sing along with them the buckeyes fight song, seeing the big guy chanting o-h-i-o had to be a bittersweet moment for him, we just wish we could have captured it on film

Is Greg a Penn St. fan? Here the whole time, I thought he bought that truck used and the sticker had been already on it.

We have a video of this classic moment. What do you think it is worth!!! Remember, you will probably have to out bid Greg for this. LOL ;D

Hey.....wait one minute!!!! ? ? This was a special team moment, they caught me when I was weak. ? ? ?Don't forget about our last 16U practice when I was singing one of PSU's fight sounds while it was playing on the PA system.

WE ARE.........PENN STATE!!!!!!

18U Teams:

I just had a team drop out of Fall Ball, so we need a replacement ASAP. ? Are there any 18U teams out there that would like to play Fall Ball.

If we do not find a team I'll need to rotate one team having one week off, since we are playing seven weeks I'll need to rotate the last seven teams that contacted us. ? ? These teams will be refunded $25.
