RECREATION CORNER
Sportsmanship challenges should never arise
By Denise Senosk
Basketball is going well, however I do need to stress the importance
of good sportsmanship on and off the court. Parents, please portray
this at all times as this is what our children follow. We did
have an incident of misconduct where disciplinary action is being
taken between the team members involved. This is not something
we take lightly. Players will be disciplined, and parents will
be ejected from the gym. Please remember this is a recreational
league and it is suppose to be FUN as well as instructional. When
traveling to other towns, remember we (coaches, players and families)
represent our town. We should only portray positive attitudes.
Any and all problems should be brought to the attention of the
Trybil committee after the games—not during. Again, let’s
all remember to have fun.
Baseball/Softball
Dave Proulx has set up registration dates which have already taken
place. Information was sent home through the schools. Please,
if you missed the signups you need to call Dave ASAP at 508-867-5419.
Placement on teams at this time is going to be difficult, as rosters
need to be turned in. Anyone wishing to help with coaching also
needs to contact Dave.
Annual Coaches Banquet
All recreation coaches, mark your calendars for Saturday, March
5, the tentative date for an evening of music, dancing, adult
conversation, food and just plain fun. Watch your mail for your
invitation.
Cub Scouts
Sorry folks, it’s not looking good. We haven't had anyone
step up as of yet. This may be the end of the Pack. Some of our
boys have already moved to the pack in East Brookfield. If you
would like information on who to call, please let me know. I would
like to thank Rob and Judy Snyder for leading our boys to their
victory last year in the Chuck Wagon and for their time with the
Pack. You will be missed.
Adult Volleyball and Men’s Basketball
With the basketball season here, there may be some Friday evenings
when the games run late. Your time will begin once the game is
over. Please be patient; the program only runs through February.
Also, if you miss your night for any reason—weather, school
cancellations, holidays—the schedule will stay the same.
We will not bump the men’s basketball for volleyball or
volleyball for basketball.
