Colt League Workouts

Voluntary workouts will begin this Saturday and continuing for the next few weeks. These workouts will be held at the All-Star Baseball Training Center which is located at 1646 Butler Plank Road in Glenshaw, PA 15116. The dates as times are as follows:

The cost of these workouts will be $15.00 per session or $60.00 for all 5. These are open to all boys within the league, however anyone making one of the school teams cannot work out due to school rules. They will, however, be required to attend the tryout on the 27th.

The tryouts for the select Colt teams will be held on Saturday 3/27 from 1:00p - 4:00p. The location of the workout will be determined closer to the date. They may be held outside or at All-Star depending on the weather. Only players interested in participating on one of the select teams must attend the tryout session. Once the tryouts are completed and the teams formed the balance of the players will be rostered.

Girls Slow Pitch Pitching Clinic

The CTAA has set up a Slow Pitch pitching clinic that will conducted by David Pritchard and assisted by Jeff Schwartz. Sessions will be held in the gym at Haine Elementary at the following times:

There is a $1 donation for each player attending that will be used to cover the cost of the gym. Players should bring a glove and wear tennis shoes, NO spikes. Please arrive about 5 minutes before your scheduled start time.

Questions should be directed to Dave Prichard

Girls Fastpitch Pitching Clinic

CTAA will once again be conducting a girls Fastpitch pitching clinic to be held at the Rowan Elementary School gym.

Sessions will be every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning March 9, 2010 and continuing until April 8, 2009. The clinic will not be held April 1st (school holiday) or any time school is closed due to weather or regularly scheduled day off.

This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of how to pitch Fastpitch or to practice what you've already learned.

Seneca Valley has instituted a fee for use of the gym. We will need to collect a nominal $10 fee for each pitcher to help defer some of the costs. There will be no refund if a pitcher drops out. Payment is due at the first session. Only registered CTAA players may attend due to limited gym space.

First week schedule is:
Beginners 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM (never pitched before)
Intermediate 6:30 PM to 7:10 PM
Experienced 7:10 PM to 8:00 PM

If you are not sure which group you are in, or you have other questions, please contact Mike O'Reilly .

McDonald's Dollars

Earlier this year the CTAA became part of a fund raising program with local McDonald's. The way the program works is people purchase McDonald's Dollars from the CTAA and redeem them at the local McDonald's. McDonald's Dollars are sold AT NO MARKUP by the CTAA, a $1 McDonald's Dollar costs you $1. When you redeem those dollars they have the exact same value as the purchase price. The difference is for every McDonald's Dollar redeemed the CTAA will receive 50 cents in return!

McDonald's Dollars are available at all CTAA board and general meetings. If you would like more information or to make a purchase please contact either Anthony Storti or P.J. Lynd

Sign and Team Sponsors

If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring a CTAA team or purchasing a Sign Sponsorship for one of the Fields at Cranberry or Graham Park please contact Lori Tuite
