Cloverdale Minor Baseball is happy to announce that we will be able to offer our New Year Training Program once again. Unfortunately this year we have had to put some additional measures in place due to the current situation. In addition to our current protocols, we are having to limit the number of players for each session, parents will not be allowed to watch the sessions in the batting cage.
This year we are excited to have three coaches running the New Year Clinics for us. Joe Germaine is an accomplished coach who has coached professional teams around the world and runs high-level youth programs. John Parker is with our College Prep Program. He has
extensive experience coaching in the PBL League with multiple Provincial, National, and International accomplishments. As well, we will have Nick Palmer running the Catchers Clinics for our PeeWee and Bantam catchers. Nick is the Catchers Coach for our College Prep
Program.
In addition to our clinics, current CMBA Coaches or parents interested in coaching will have the opportunity to participate in the clinics. Shadowing these high level and accomplished coaches is an excellent way to develop and expand your coaching knowledge
and skills.
The clinics will begin on January 9 and run until February 19. The cost for each clinic is $120. Please make cheques payable to Cloverdale Minor Baseball and bring them to your first session.
To register for the clinics, please email Chris Semak at csemak@telus.net. Please include your clinic, level of play, and preference of times.
NOTE: Masks must be worn in the cage during the training sessions.

Dear Sports Association Representative,
Due to the ongoing hot and dry weather, city parks have reached a point in which the danger of fire is critically high. Many of the fires in BC have apparently been started by discarded cigarettes.
Smoking is prohibited in all Surrey Parks including all sportfields, open spaces, paths, driveways and parking lots and is subject to a $200 fine per occurrence (Park By-law #13480).
Your co-operation in this matter is compulsory. By-law Enforcement will be patrolling City Parks for compliance. If individuals are ticketed for smoking, who can be linked to a team and league; facility use permits may be immediately revoked, in order to better protect public property.
Sincerely,
Sonja Boston
Athletic Services Coordinator
City of Surrey
Coaches, please make sure that you understand all rules and policies governing the use of the batting cage, as they are there to both promote high utilization of the facility while ensuring player safety.
