BATTING CLINIC UPDATE
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED-EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Due to an overwhelming response to the clinic, we must close registration but are starting a WAIT LIST. If you are registered and cannot attend please notify us by email ASAP so we can add someone from the time stamped wait list.
Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly to the survey regarding the batting clinic. As of this post all 221 registered members/players of WECSSO have received the survey or been contacted in person if no email existed.
To date 66 members have signed up to attend the batting clinic. The breakdown is as follows: Red – 20 players Blue – 23 players Green – 23 players
The batting instructors and pitchers for the clinic are our WECSSO players. The general idea is to have different batting stations and batting practice. This allows our pitchers to get some pre-season warmup as well.
Bats and balls will be provided but feel free to bring your own bat if you choose. Bring your glove to assist with fielding balls.
We are encouraging members to bring their cell phones for personal batting videos. Error detection, tips and corrections will improve batting success.
WECSSO is covering the cost of the clinic.
Any questions contact : Gord Hillman- inbiz@protonmail.com Aldo Bertucci – aldobertucci@gmail.com or Patti Mouland- pattimouland@gmail.com

Len Dupuis: He is Not Just a Slo-Pitch Player
Len Dupuis, our B Division convener, competed in a 5 km run on Aug 3, 2014 – a W.R.A.C.E. event – The Blue Heron Blitz. His time, as you can see was just over 28 minutes – very respectable. Way to go Len.
