Dear Parents:

The St. Catherine of Siena Men's Club is pleased to announce the return of its CABBAGEBALL

SUMMER PROGRAM for all kids between the ages of 4 and 12. A child does not have to be a

student or parishioner of St. Catherine’s to participate. Team play will be Monday and Wednesday

nights, with games approximately one (1) hour in duration. The Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten

teams start play at 6:00 PM, the 1st and 2nd graders start at 7:00 PM, and the 3rd graders and older at

8:00 PM. If enough diamonds are available, the last group could play one hour earlier. All games

are played in the SCS schoolyard. Grade level will determine placement in a group.

The purpose of the program is to provide a non-competitive, fun league that teaches the children

team sportsmanship and the fundamentals of cabbageball. There are no formal practice sessions

outside of the game times listed, and since the program is for fun, there are no standings, playoffs, or

championships. Children are placed on teams according to age and experience. If your child has a

friend that you would like to be on the same team, please indicate the friend's name on the notes

section of the registration form and every effort will be made to place the children together. This is

not always possible, however, since every effort is made not to "stack" the teams. The coordinators

have final decision as to team placement. There will be no more than fifteen(15) players to a team.

The program will start on Wednesday, June 4, 2007 with a coach’s meeting. At this meeting the coaches will

be able to make changes to the roster if necessary. No games are scheduled for the 4th. The meeting times

are the same as the game times. Hopefully, we will have team jerseys at that time. Team pictures

will be taken during the second week of play with a make up date in the third week should games get

rained out. Players will receive their trophies after the last games on Wednesday, July 23rd.

The concession stand will serve hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, popcorn, candy, pickles,

potato chips, freeze pops, soft drinks, water, and beer. We also hope to have local restaurants cook

up special delicacies this summer to offer on a rotating basis. We are always looking for help to

cook and serve food, so if you are interested, please call John Chryssoverges at 738-2478 or 453-1643

or Fred Prange at 908-7825. E-mail your questions to scsmcsummerprogram@cox.net.

Team sponsors are also needed. The cost to sponsor a team is $125.00 ($100.00 per team if you

sponsor more than one). Your company logo or personal design will be printed on the back of your

team's T-shirts. Please attach a copy of your logo to the registration form. We will also sell sponsopships for the

cabbageball diamonds .The cost is $ 125.00 and the sponsor logo will be displayed for one game.

.If anyone is interested in coaching, please acknowledge so on the registration form or contact a

coordinator. You do not have to have a child participating and there is no age limit.

We are looking forward to being back in action this summer. We will have two Registration Nights

– Thursday May 1st and Thursday May 8th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the SCS cafeteria– so mark your

calendars.

Registration deadline is May 20th, 2008. The cost to participate in the 2008 program will be $20.00

per child ($25.00 per child after May 20th). A family of three or more children is $50.00 for the

entire family.

NOTE: If you know someone who is interested in playing who might not be contacted through

church or school regarding registration, please have them fill out a registration form or contact one

of the coordinators. Additional registration forms can be picked up at the Parish Office.
