Sunday Select Process
The top 22 kids based on evaluation scores are invited to participate in the SSP Sunday Select program. Where the most skilled players are given an opportunity to compete in representing SSP for end of season All-Stars. Please note, If your child is overlooked b/c of a bad day at evaluations, he may be recommended by his rec team Coach anytime prior to April 1st. Thus, giving all league players a fair opportunity to be observed and invited for Sunday Select/All-Star consideration. We anticipate having at least one All-Star team in the 9 year old age group and possibly 2 teams. The All-Star team(s )will be finalized NO earlier than April 1st.
Volunteers and Coaches:
Great parents and coaches are the key to providing our kids with the most rewarding experience possible. There will be plenty of opportunities to volunteer throughout the season.
If you are interested in COACHING, you must complete the application using the following link (Application for coaches). Coaches will be confirmed in mid-January.
A Coach Background form must also be turned in for ALL coaches Head and Assistant in BLUE ink with a legible copy of your driver's license to the Age Group Director – no scans or emails will be accepted. The Background forms will be notarized by a County official. You can bring these to the Coaches Meeting or e-mail me and I can give you an address to mail them to.
I'm looking forward to a fun season of spring baseball! Let me know if I can help answer any of your questions.
Thanks,
