Kids are quite happy practicing on a dirt field with adult supervision. The county really shouldn’t have let this happen. The parents buy the glove, their kid a bat and a ball. Most of the coaches and sponsors pay for the extras like shirts and again the patrents money goes towards that to. All the county has to do is keep up the field, and I feel relatively sure that a simple ad in the paper would provide volunteers if their just too dang lame, too busy with navy federal I should say, to mow a field! Heaven forbid they do something for our children or for the public, NOT related to navy federal Well, if it costs $85 to play t-ball on a church field, I can’t imagine what the “rich” kid leagues are paying.

If anyone is looking for a place that will welcome your child/children to play, Olive Baptist has their registration open for their BST (Baseball, Softball, T-ball) leagues. Registration is $85 for tee ball (ages 4-5 year olds) and $100 for their other divisions.

This is an 8 game season with a tournament for the minor league, major league, and softball divisions. Practice and game schedules will be set before first week of practice and will not change unless weather creates an issue. Practice will begin the week of Feb. 24th and opening day will be on Saturday, March 21st. Please visit: olivebaptist.org/baseball to register your child/children for the league.

It was poor leadership that killed that park. The park was just not kept up the bathrooms and concession was in terrible shape. You only seen one or two guys try to keep the fields up with a lawnmower is sad. I hope the county closed it for a year and fix the park the way it needs to be If you went through last year softball you could have seen this coming, They had one team that played well there but it was not due to the coaches they had what we all come to know as daddy ball coaches, And the baseball side was like a runaway train had a coach that lost his temper at every game and they throw him out of the park.

This could very well contribute to why no one signed up.

I was there when the park reopened a few years ago and we all want to blame the park president and the county for the lack quality and upkeep but let’s not forget to run a park it takes parent involvement. It takes people getting out there and doing the work to maintain the fields to get donations to do upgrades to run concession to make money. That wasn’t happening period. Parents didn’t want to do the work that was involved then they wanted to complain to the powers that be that their fields weren’t ready and the concessions weren’t open when you have a handful of people doing all the work it’s hard to make a difference. Unfortunately that park is sitting in an area where it’s not going to pull in the kids and families it needs to help it run. This isn’t surprising.

I stopped going to games due to the way the parents treated their children.I have seen parents go onto the field and scream at their kid when he failed to make a play. This travel ball is all about money they tell the parents the only way their kid is going to make it is play travel ball and they shell out the big bucks so their child can play. There are only 750 professional baseball players in the big league so only a few will ever make it. Most will be drafted and play on a minor league making little money.
