Meeting Announcement and other
Important Information for 2013
There are several pieces of important information in this message. Please read the entire message.
Registration Meeting
A meeting for new managers at 3&2 to go over the registration process and other important information will be held at 6:30pm on Tuesday, January 15 at the SM Northwest cafeteria, located at 12701 W. 67th St. in Shawnee.
League Seeding
Check to see where we have preliminarily seeded your team for league play in 2013. (Grades 3-8 only.) Your feedback is necessary to make sure your team is placed in a league that is appropriate. Check this listing often as changes are constantly being made. February 28, 2013 is the last day to change where your team is seeded for league play for the 2013 season. You will have at least two more notifications to weigh in on league division placement as your team settles on a roster for next season. This seeding list is the second version based on your results from last season and/or placement preferences many of you have already logged with us. Note: 1st/2nd Grade Machine Pitch Managers - if you want to play Metro or 1st division MP ball in 2013, please indicate that preference. Check this listing often as changes are constantly being made.
Team Champion Program
How many baseball teams have a team leader or "champion" already assisting a team manager so they can focus on instruction and the line-up rather than administration and event coordination? Both roles are vital to efficiently running any team and 3&2 recognizes that. 3&2's Team Champion program recognizes and appreciates team moms and dads willing to step up and coordinate things like registration, team pictures, uniforms, and events. If you are the Champion for your 3&2 team, click here to learn more and register officially with the league. In addition to information, you'll receive gifts and incentives throughout the season to recognize your contribution to youth baseball through the league team you champion.
Practice Field Info
Practice fields are distributed to teams based on the order that complete roster information (roster, waiver & fees) are turned in. Each team will receive one practice slot; a second slot will be available after all teams have had an opportunity. Click here to register your preference for a practice field. The time slots shown at this time are from last year. Field availability for 2012 will be gathered in early February. Teams based in Shawnee, Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe and elsewhere may also request practices fields from various cities and parks and recreation departments.
