Yea,I knew about the morning football practices,but I'm just worried about game times conflicting on Thursdays,I talked with some people that said last years fall ball season was over before the boys started playing any football games....O'well, we'll just have to make it work........ :-\

FYI...I was able to get a 2011 7th & 8th football schedule from the athletic office today,and 9 of the 12 games will be on either Tues or Thurs and in that Aug-Oct time frame,so that is gonna make it very difficult for the boys that play Jr. High football to participate in fall ball also...just thought this info would be helpful for those who have a baseball/football player to deal with...lol

August 27th is a Saturday. October 14th is a friday. That is 49 days or 7 weeks. "Games will be Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday." 7 weeks at 3 games a week is 21 games. "Teams will play a 10-12 game schedule." I am confused? Also is there going to be any practices or just games?

We will have games on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  That does not mean that every team will play every night.  You will have 1-2 games per week to make the 10-12 game schedule.  This is all dependent on how many teams that we have.

Last year, practices took place before the season started, then once the games started, there were not any practices.

I heard a rumor that Big Barrell bats can be used. Is that correct?

We are looking at our Major Boys playing in the Little League pilot program of 50' mound and 70' bases, which would include leadoffs, running on dropped 3rd strike and big barrel bats.

Do you know of any kids from Lumberton area (Pee Wee Boys) coming to play? Curious for car pool possibilities.

I have not heard of any, but we will know more once we have registration.  However, if you know of 10 or so boys then you can bring a team over.  :-)

Do you have all of your coaching spots filled for Jr. Boys (13 - 15)?

No.  Just go to the website (bcll.org) and download an application and turn it in at registration.

Is it too late to still get in at this point. Had a dad ask me if I knew of any places to play fallball and told him I knew BC was doing one. His kid is currently 11 but would play as a 12 next year during spring. They are from the LC area. Please PM me if you have an answer for me and maybe a contact
