The Post 757 Colts winterball activities officially ended yesterday as the Mannino Grand Slam USA High School Winter League comes to an end. The end of winterball is always a bittersweet time of year for me. It's very sad in some ways because it means that the window I have to work with my guys officially closes until summer baseball begins...of course it's sweet too because that means we are that much closer to baseball season!

This year adds something a little different as it will be the first time I have coached school baseball since the spring of 2011. Of course we had our customary hug and best of luck wishes during the spring season.... and this year brought back the "do everything you can to beat me on the field because I will do that to you!" and the "we are competitors on the field and all one team after the game".

I already know the hardest part of coaching the Adena Warriors baseball team this year and it won't be the time commitment, the x's an o's, or the parents....it will definitely be coaching against my guys during the high school season!

We will be scheduling a parent meeting for the the Senior and Junior teams in the coming weeks to discuss travel plans, scheduling, fundraising and logistics for the upcoming summer baseball season. I want to wish all of our guys the best of luck this spring season!!
