THE HERALD THE WEEKEND OUTLOOK Friday April 12 11 Page Buying or Selling list With Success NRS BRAND REALTY INC Georgetown Sports and I Recreation ROB RISK Herald Sports Editor Coach Donohue 16 8772201 16 17 17 Recreation News 17 Baseball registration may be capped By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor The Georgetown Baseball Association faced with increas ing registration numbers is maintaining they must either cut back playing time for its house league teams or limit registra tion to children next year Jean president of the association said the groups teams have reached their capaci of players each and there is no more room left on the baseball diamond schedule With guys per team that means six will have to sit out every inning which isnt much fun for them I know there are other fields in town but you just cant use the smaller diamonds for the older kids and we only have one regulation sized one Aubin said the GBA had been counting on a new community park in Georgetown South to help handle the increased numbers but were dismayed to see that nothing has happened in that area recently Usually when you have development when the streets are paved and the sidewalks are in like they are in there now the parks are usually done as well which is not the case here Bryan Shynall superintendent of parks and cemeteries for the Town of Hills Recreation Rugby scrimmage Members of the North Rugby Club scrim mage at the Fairgrounds on Tuesday getting in shape for the upcoming season The club Is always looking for new players aged 14 and up forming two senior one under team and one under team this year Anyone wanting more information can call Sandy McKenzie a 1 Herald photo Parks Department said development of the fields is tied to the rate that Georgetown South is built since the money required comes from lot levies which has slowed down due to the present economy Part of the problem is that nobody foresaw the slowdown The parks could have been well on their way to being finished right now if things hadn fallen off Shynall pointed out the GBA house leagues dont play any games on the weekends or Friday evenings requiring the schedule to be squeezed into a four day week He also said the GBA had been floundering a few years ago with poor numbers and there was no guarantee registration wouldn t drop off again in a few years Aubin acknowledged there are no games on weekends but said that was to accommodate the parents so they would be able to go to the cottage or get away elsewhere He also predicted baseball registration would fall off if the children were required to play on weekdends because many parents would prefer not to give that up With our present schedule registration has grown by 50 every year for at least the last three years that Ive been with the GBA If we have to cut back on the number of games the long term scenario isn pretty House league is relative to how com your rep teams are and if we reduce their playing tune the quality of their play will suffer Tom Shepard director of parks and recreation for the Town of Hills said when the town looks at its master plan within the next year or so the numbers showing near capacity seven days a week for the fields will have to be there in order to justify the of building a regula tion sized field Money for such a project if justified hasnt been budgeted until 1994 Baseball group needs volunteers The Georgetown Baseball Association faced with the largest registration in its history is in need of coaches convenors and umpires to help its teams have another successful year Donna Blight of the associations house league said this year promises to be a challenging and exciting one for everyone involved especially with the increase of the Bon Juvenile house league from three to five teams We really need a convenor and more umpires especially for this league Last year saw this league operate without a con venor and again no volunteer has come forward to offer their help in this area Blight said there is an obvious interest among youths aged 14 and up in playing recreational baseball but without the support of parents in helping this league to operate those players are like ly to be disappointed While most of the jobs are on a volunteer basis the umpires are paid for each game behind the plate and for each one in the field The shortage last year for umpires was so severe at times that parents often had to be asked to be the second official something the GBA wants to avoid this season Blight also said the need for volunteers to help with orgamz the operation of the ding association is also growing She said Dave director of volunteers would be happy to have any person in teresed in assisting to give him a call at As a result of the increase in teams Blight said more sponsors are also needed at both the rep and house league levels Sponsors play an important role in the organization of baseball helping to keep player fees as low as possible Blight said the cost of sponsor ing a house league team is while a rep team is She assured that anyone helping out in this area would be given their due acknowledgement by making their support well known in the
