CELEBRATING OUR 19th ANNIVERSARY

JUNE 26-JULY 2, 2023
Just as when you paid your team entry fee online, your team gate fee which is paid at the coaches meetings on Sunday will have a 3% service charge on all credit card payments. Please remember, CASH or CREDIT CARD ONLY for your Team Gate Fee Payment, NO CHECKS accepted and NO exceptions!
Coaches & Team Administrators,
A couple of final last minute reminders for all of you.....13U & 14U Schedules have been changed due a team having to drop down form 14U 60/90 to 13U 54/80. Please check these schedules often for any further changes that may have to be made!
ONE COACHES MEETING FOR ALL TEAMS at Rockit Lanes on Sunday morning from 8:30 AM-10:00 AM!
1. We have advertised the Coaches meetings from day #1 on our website and in emails. A number of you have text, emailed or called saying that you would not be in attendance. IF you are NOT going to attend, make sure you are well versed in the rules, your outstanding fees have to be paid before you take the field for your fist game, your economic impact must be completely filled out and turned in prior to you taking the field for your first game, you will NOT be able to sign up for skills competition and your merchandise pre-orders will need to be picked up at pin trading on Sunday evening. As you can see, it is really imperative you have a team representative at the coaches meetings to handle all of these things.
2. NO team can take the field until you have your FINAL ROSTER uploaded online, Team Gate fee is paid and Economic Impact form has been filled out entirely and turned in.....NO exceptions!
3. For your Outstanding fees, NO CHECKS PERIOD! NO EXCEPTIONS! Cash or Card only. Remember all card transactions have a 3% service charged added in just as it was for your team entry fee. Gate fees can ONLY be paid at the Coaches meetings and NOT online!
4. Grand Slam WILL provide TWO NEW MIZUNO baseballs per game. As long as both teams do a good job in shagging foul balls you should be fine. We will be selling baseballs at the merchandise tents if you need any.
5. Live Streaming is available for games at the Publix Sports Park ONLY! A link to subscribe by the day or the week is available at http://www.publix.sportschannel.media/
6. TURF shoes or TENNIS SHOWS ONLY for pitchers on the brand new mounds at the Publix Sports Park. NO molded or cleats of ANY KIND allowed! NO Steel spikes for ANY players at the Publix Sports Park.
