I just realized that I put the wrong date in the system for tonight's game.

We are at Gladiator part at 6PM.  Columbia Jersey.

Make sure the boys drink at least a 16 ounce glass of water tonight before bed.

After the last two late nights of ball, it will be easy to neglect proper hydration.  Make sure they get at least 16 ounces of water in the morning and another 16 ounces before the game. 

This is a critical part of protecting muscles, tissue and joints while they grow and put strain on them.

There will be no practice tonight. The Dragons found an opponent for tonight, so, we will not have access to the Sandlot tonight.

We still have a game Wednesday against the Dragons at 6PM at Anderson.  Please be there at 5:15PM in full uniform.

The Titans played great today.  Make sure the boys get enough rest tonight and drink lots of water.

Our first game will be at Noon tomorrow.  We will be playing the NBA Titans again.

Be prepared to play 3 games in a row.  Bring water, Gatorade, a couple candy bars and maybe a sandwich.  Looking at the brackets, the team with the most endurance will win this thing.

Go Titans!

The forecast looks great for tomorrow morning.  It will be cool 45-55 degrees for our games and 15-20 mph winds.  Make sure to dress appropriately.

The wind today and tomorrow will take a lot out of the boys.  Make sure they drink lots of water tonight to get hydrated for the games in the morning.

See everyone there, ready to go, at 7AM!

GO TITANS!!!

We will be having indoor practice Thursday night 8PM at Wheeler.  Make sure to bring your bat, we will be hitting Wiffle balls.

I would like to start practice Friday as close to 4:30 as possible.  I know some boys have track at school, so, please let me know if you will be late.

The brackets are out for the tournament next weekend.  We drew the first games of the pool, so, the boys will need to get to bed early Friday, April 29th.

The bracket can be downloaded at http://www.nebraskausssa.com/forms/form1406.pdf.  I have posted our first two games on the website.

Great week of baseball, keep it up!

We have 2 games this Saturday.

Please note the schedule change.

Mother nature decided to give us the weekend off.  Let's hope for some sun and wind so we will be able to get our game in on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

We will have batting practice at UBA (120th & I) at 5pm tonight.  We have 2 tunnels, so please be on time so we can get everyone through twice.

It looks like we may have rain on Friday.  In case we are rained out, we have scheduled batting practice at UBA from 5-6pm.  Jason and I will be in touch as we get closer to practice and let everyone know where we will have our workout.

Please plan on practicing Friday, regardless of the weather.

We will not have practice tonight.  Wheeler is closed due to spring break.

Let's plan on wearing our Columbia Jersey tonight with Navy Hat.

Always bring both jerseys and both hats to all games.  Just in case one player forgets an article of clothing, I know, never happens with 13 year old boys, but, just in case.

See you at Anderson batting cages at 7:00PM Sharp!

Don't forget we have DQ night tonight.  Jason and I can transport some boys from DQ to practice.  However, parents will still need to sign waiver form for The Center.

We have practice tonight from 7:15pm - 9:00pm at The Center (147th & Giles).  Please make sure you sign your son's waiver to practice before you leave.

We have practice Thursday night at Wheeler 8:00pm-9:00pm.

If weather permits, we will have practice 5:00pm-6:00pm Friday at Hawthorne.  This is our regular practice slot, so, please make sure you have it available throughout the season.

We have games scheduled Saturday and Sunday.  Please stay close to your phone or internet for updates.

We will be having practice tonight at Wheeler School in Millard tonight at 8PM.  We will have access to this gym every Thursday.  (View Map)

Practice is cancelled Saturday night due to the fact that the facility is being used by the University.  I don't expect this to be a regular issue.

We will continue to work out on Monday nights at the School of Rock gym.

Please let me know if your son will not be able to make it to practice. 

We will not be able to have practice tonight due to weather.  Millard has cancelled all after school activities.

Since we were unable to practice Saturday, I will be adding an additional workout on Wednesday for the boys who are not in another sport right now.  I will have details at practice tomorrow night.

Please have your son bring the baseball bat he plans on using this season to Monday night's workout.  We will be using it in drills.  If he does not have a bat chosen yet, please bring the heaviest bat you have.

These workouts are very important to the comradery of the team, please let me know in advance if your son can not make it.

We have a change of plans for our indoor practice facility.  We were able to secure a larger facility for less money.  We will be practicing at the UNO Dome near 68th & Spring on Saturdays at 7:30AM - 9:30AM, yes, in the morning.  View Map  These practices will start next saturday (January 22nd).

Please remember to RSVP to Cori Barnes for tonight's party.  Also, feel free to let Coach Jason or me know if your boy needs a ride.

I'll add our season schedule to the website this weekend.  Please watch the site for changes and updates to the season.

Looking forward to a fun 2011!

We will be having a team fitting today at 3PM.  I know a few of you will not be able to make it and I will let you know when you can go to Lawlor's to get fitted.

I am also putting together an offseason workout for those who are not in another sport right now.

Please email me your son's current workout/practice schedule so I can put a plan together as soon as possible.

Our team fitting will be on December 11th at 3PM.  The fittings will be done at Lawlor's on 84th St.  View Map

This will also be the time when we can order stocking caps, hoodies and other clothing items.  See Items

Hawthorne Park Location

Nudge Nudge... Fall Ball registration is open until Sunday July 25th, after that, fall ball registration will have a late fee.

We will start voluntary workouts soon to help keep the boys in the game.
 

Fall ball is going to start in mid August and the registration process will be online at http://www.active.com.  The cost is $129 for our age group.  Please let me know as soon as you have registered.

It looks like our families are vacationing between now and the end of the month, so, let's plan to get together for Saturday, August 7th.  Please send me times that work for you and  I'm open to ideas.  I think a cookout would be nice and we can let the boys play sandlot ball while the parents discuss plans.

We play Wahoo again on Field 4 at 8:30 AM.  WHEN we win that game, we will play at 12:30 on Field 3 against the winner of the Millard Outlaws vs Millard Cardinals.

Let's bring our "A" game tomorrow and send them home!

Go Titans!

Today's games are on Field 4 at 10:30 and Field 3 at 12:30.

See you at Anderson 8:30.

We will not be able to practice tonight.  The fields are too wet and the weather is a bit to unpredictable.

If you are coming to Cade's birthday party, we will meet at the CWS statue in front of Rosenblatt at 6PM Thursday.

We will have batting practice and warm-up at Anderson on Friday at 8:30 AM.  Let me know if your son needs a ride to Kelley Field from Anderson.

I'm going to check on the practice field to see if we will have practice tonight.

We have not received any rain in our neighborhood yet, but I understand other parts of the city have.

I'll be in touch.

I'm going to move batting practice to 8AM Saturday at Anderson #2. 

The AA State tournament moved games to Anderson, so we will be fighting for cage time at 9AM.

The Brackets have been posted.  There are quite a few late arrivals to the tournament.

We will be playing O'Neill Irish and Wahoo in pool play.  The Blaze are seeded #2 and also play the same teams in pool play.

The Papillion Monarchs won the 12 yr old AAA state title on Sunday.  They went 7-0 in their tournament and won the championship game 16-5.  They also went 21-2 in tournament play against other AAA teams this year.  I think our little Single A team held up pretty well against them.

We finished the year with a tough run of competition, don't let the boys hang their heads and let's get ready for state.

After looking at the weather and since we only have 9 boys that can play today, I have decided to cancel the 4PM game and only play the 6PM game.

Please make sure the boys get plenty of fluids today and do not go swimming.  This kind of heat can be dangerous if we are not prepared.

So, we will only be playing the La Vista Panters at 6PM, please have the boys at Rockwell by 5PM for warmups.

We are moving practice to Hawthorn Park at 7:30. 

There will still be a parent meeting during practice, please let me know if you can't make it.

** The Johnson's have graciously opened their pool to the team after practice.  Swimming for everyone!

Practice will be as follows this week:

Wednesday - 7:30PM Rockwell

Friday - 5:00 PM Armburst

I would like to have a parents meeting Wednesday while the boys have their workout.  We will be discussing plans for this fall and next season.

The Consolation games today have been cancelled.  We will not be playing baseball today. :(

Have a wonderful Father's Day!

Looks like the game that will decide if we play at 4PM or 8PM is going on right now.

It it's a high scoring game, we will play at 8pm.  If it's a low scoring game, we will play at 4pm.

We will be having practice on Wednesday this week as follows:

Our first game is Friday at 2:00PM!  I'm sure this will cause quite a few problems for transportation.  Please let me know if you need me to transport your son to the game.

The field at Armburst is still a mess.

We will have batting practice tonight at Anderson at 6PM.

Tonight's game at Sandlot Ridge is ON!
 

Make sure to bring jackets for the players so they can keep warm between innings.  It sounds like it's going to be windy tonight.

No Practice tonight.  The field is too wet.

Hopefully, we will see some wind and sun tomorrow so we can play on Thursday.

Titan aluminum was hot today.  Great hitting!

I have added another game with the to our schedule for Thursday night at 8PM.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you can not make it.

We will be having practice Wednesday and Friday at 5PM at Armburst field.  I am working on a secondary practice location because this field gets rained out easily.

There will be no practice tonight.

We'll meet Sunday at 9AM at Sandlot Ridge.  Let's give the moms a good Mother's Day with a win!

There is a chance of rain tonight around game time and the temperature is going to be quite cool.

Great squeeze bunt by Mitch to win today!  The boys did great under pressure and came through when the going got tough.

Please take note of a couple small items:  Sammy misplaced his Red and Black Titianium necklace.  If anyone picked it up please bring it to tomorrow's game.  I think I have Ray's warmup donut for his bat.  So, don't go out an buy another one, I'll bring that to the game tomorrow. :)

I'll see you all at Rockwell (except Jayden) at 11AM Sunday.

Armburst field is a sloppy mess, so we won't be able to practice down there.

Let's get together at 5:30 tonight at Anderson #2 Batting Cage.  In case we have a game tomorrow, I would like to have the boys at least play catch and hit some balls.

I picked up our pictures today.  I will bring them to practice Friday night.

I am trying to figure out a day we can make up yesterday's game.  It looks like Anderson and Rockwell are booked solid until July.  We may have to play it at another location if we can work out the logistics.

The Boys played a solid game tonight. Not only did we hit the ball, run the bases and field well, Carson pitched a complete game and only gave up 1 hit! And that hit came in the last inning, none the less.

Our next game is Wednesday. Since our next game is at Rockwell, I would like to have batting practice Tuesday night - 6PM at Anderson #2. Please let me know if you are unable to make it or if you need a ride. We will have our regularly scheduled practice Friday night - 5PM at Armburst

I have placed the Jersey color on our website for each game.  However, please bring both jerseys to every game just in case our opponent is wearing the same colors.

See you at the Trendwood Park at 4:30pm today.

Go Titans!

Heartbreaker of a game last night.  We will have an opportunity on Saturday to square the series up!

Make sure the players get plenty of sleep Friday night.  We will need everyone fresh for Saturday and Sunday!

Go Titans!
