Baxter Springs League??

Hello. The Mo-Kan team we played in the last game of the tournament has contacted me letting me know they are wanting to start a Fall league in Baxter Springs starting the week after Labor Day. I know it will be a little further than driving to Four Seasons but I think there will be a few benefits to this. He could not tell me an exact amount for the league yet but said it wouldn't be $300 like what we will be paying at Four Seasons. I'm all for cheaper! He also said he didn't think there was an entry fee into the gate and as those of you know who have played at Four Seasons it's $5 a head to get into there. Makes it a little tough for a lot to come watch and cheer on our players. He said the games would be on Saturdays, maybe every other, and we could play them round robin style or however everyone thought was best. I suggested later in the day as I know pee wee football is coming up and a lot of us will be busy with that on Saturday mornings. He didn't have a lot of definite answers but was just trying to see if he could get a few teams that were just starting out, to play each other for a better way of learning rather than going out there and getting slaughtered by teams that have been playing together for a long time. He did say the Seneca team we played first wouldn't be in the league. He wanted us and the mix matched team to join. I am not going to bad mouth Four Season's as I have never personally played there and I am grateful we have a place for the girls to play softball at for so many months out of the year, but I have heard a lot of negative from area coaches like not getting to take any food or drinks into the park. I told him I would let him know by Friday so if anyone definitely does NOT want to please let me know ASAP by calling or e-mailing me. We could still play in a few tournaments at Four Seasons. They have them until the end of October.
Don't forget practice on Thursday at 6:00 at Morse Park. If you have not paid for your uniform and socks ($21) I need that Thursday. Thanks guys!
