Batting Helmets Donated

The BIG Reds have an anonymous donor that would like to provide helmets to our players.  This is awesome!!!  The helmets will be white and will contain the WR All Star logo. 

Practice Jerseys

We have a sponsor for Practice Jerseys.  A new sports training business is being started by Kevin Dale (Lookouts' Head Coach), Josh Bloom (Thunder assistant coach) and a few others.  They will be sponsoring all the WR ML All Star teams this summer with practice jerseys.

First Team Meeting

The 2011 BIG Reds and parents met the the WR clubhouse to be introduced and go over some initial team items. After the meeting Coach Eric was even more excited about the team for this summer.  Coach Eric said "we have a good group of boys that I could tell are going to all get along.  Great talent, great personalities and just great boys (and parents)."


After the meeting, all the parents had to force the boys to try on the baseball pant and jersey samples. The new teammates were content to play tag together. The parents were left in the clubhouse to figure out all the uniform ordering.
