This spring marks the 71st season of Dilworth Little League and we’d like to invite all of you to the Opening Ceremony on Friday, March 22nd at 6:00pm.
Being at the field is often a family affair. Siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and beloved friends often come out to support our athletes. In a blink of an eye, our athletes go from cute little teeball players to on the cusp of their teenage years looking like real baseball and softball players.
It’s so special to mark each year of growth of our players, so please, plan on bringing the family out to recognize each team. Please have your player dressed in their uniform ready to represent.
Most importantly, all parents and players will complete the Little League parents and players pledges. As adults, we want to positively support all players – whether they are on our team or not. Our goal for our players is that they learn a lifelong sport and try their best at each practice and game.
Help us set the tone for the season by showing up for opening ceremonies and participating in this pledge.
Plan to arrive by 5:45 and send your to player to meet their team in the following spot on Field 2:
Tee Ball: Right Field
Coach Pitch/ Machine Pitch: Right-Center Field
Minors/Majors: Left-Center Field
Softball: Left Field
Parking: Mecklenburg County Park and Rec does not currently allow parking on the grass, so please use all available paved spots, including ones toward the playground. Additional parking is available at the tennis courts and the Mahlon Adams pavilion, but walking and/or carpooling as you are able would be greatly appreciated.
Stay to watch some games: After opening ceremonies, we’ll be kicking off the season with both Minors and Majors games.
Food: Food will be available for purchase at our concession stand (yes, we take cards and ApplePay) and we’ll have Roman’s All Star Café in attendance. For early arrivals, Roman’s should be open for business around 5pm..
I look forward to seeing everyone at Freedom Park on March 22nd!
Sincerely,
Chris Pineno
DYSA President
