Yankees Win

As a wholly volunteer organization, the Northeast Baseball and Softball Association continues to grow and is striving to become a champion.  Both in our league size and tournament experience we are making progress towards our goal of being a unified entity in significant size and scope to address the issue of new complex development.  Again we are honored to have hosted the 13 under NBC "Hap" Dumont Youth Baseball State Tournament and pleased to present the 2009 Champion Westurban Yankees. 

FIELD LOCATION AND GENERAL CONDITIONS

South Lakes Park might perhaps be the closest candidate in the City of Wichita that qualifies as a modern regional facility.  Though designed for softball use it has been found that certain age groups can adequately play baseball.  13 year olds put that to the test. Though the infield dirt is just large enough to accomodate the basepaths the outfield fences provide distances that are legitimate.  The elevated seating, shaded areas, playgrounds, concessions, and restrooms are also more amenable for everyone else involved.

GATE FEES
     
A $200 pre-paid team gate fee will be required.  Checks can be made payable to Northeast Baseball and Softball Association and presented at team check-in.  Parents, grandparents, siblings, and all visitors are allowed full and unrestricted entry.   

UMPIRES

Northeast Baseball and Softball Association umpires will be handling the officiating under the supervision of Robert Sinks.  Don't be surprised to see three or four man crews even in the early rounds. 

STAFF

If experiences from 2008 taught us anything it was that large numbers of volunteers and staff members are necessary to host.   With daily rain the previous year, the actions of parents, players, and coaches assisting when necessary made much of the slightly delayed schedule possible.  Also the participation of many visiting college athletes kept the scorekeeping and game announcing duties exciting.         

AWARDS

Another pleasant surprise of 2008 was that the hardware handed out was well liked.  Many of the teams making the advanced circuit had become accustomed to minimal trophies or none at all when competing at the higher levels.

T-SHIRTS

Commemorative t-shirts will be available.  The best prices on shirts for players, parents, and coaches will be attained by purchasing as a group.  Team names and or logos will be incorporated into the design as best as possible to make a cherished momento.

PARKING

Please enter the park from S. Meridian.  Access from 47th St. through the soccer complex is not possible.  If there is a drawback to the complex it is the distance from the parking lot to the grandstands.  Please take this fact into consideration.
