5 Organize your team finances (This is only an example) It is recommended that you try to figure out what each parent s portion of the team expenses are at the beginning of the season. This way you are not always asking for money to cover items. I have given you an example of the common team expenses that occur during the baseball season. Give each player an envelope with their name on it and details of how much is owed. Team Expenses: (these expenses are only an example)» LAST name Only on jersey/first or last on hat $8.00 $10.00» Pennants or banner (if team decides to purchase) $5.00 $10.00» Snack Bar buy out (per volunteer) $30.00» Coaches gifts/volunteer gifts for end of season $ $20.00» Snack Bar ticket for after the games (see below) $20.00 **You do not give snack bar tickets for the exhibition games on February 20th.** If you are unable to get sponsorships, then you must split the cost between all the parents to cover the sponsorship requirements. Each team is responsible for 2 sponsorships of $300.00» Sponsorship divided among players $ divided by 12 players = $50.00**** Try to get Businesses & Corporations to sponsor the team!! SNACK BAR TICKETS **There is no Opt out for Teams this Year** Snack bar tickets are a simple way to handle after the game snack and are loved by all kids!! The tickets are redeemable for a drink, candy, chips, hot dog, corn dog, cup-osoup or any $1.00 item. Parents are asked to pay $1.00 per ticket per game. The Team Parent will collect and purchase Snack Bar Tickets for the ENTIRE team PRIOR to Opening Day. Tickets will be discounted to $.75 per ticket if bought on time. If bought after February 20 th, Opening day, tickets will be $1.00 per ticket. For reference 12 players X 18 games X $1.00 = $ For reference 12 players X 18 games X $.75 = $ Please make checks payable to Seaview Little League. It helps to put the player s names on the back of the tickets, and then you will know who has received a ticket and who missed the game that day. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ALL THE UPCOMING SEASON S SNACK BAR TICKETS OUT TO EACH PLAYER. If needed, designate a parent to bring snack tickets to each game to be distributed after the game. The kids really look forward to getting their tickets after playing their hearts out.

6 Remember that all volunteers need to have a completed volunteer application turned in. **Please put Division & Team Name on each Volunteer Application and attach a copy of driver s license please** All forms can be found on the Seaview Little League Website!

9 SEAVIEW LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM PARENT MEETING Hello My name is Jonna Eastham and I am your 2016 Safety Officer. For your information please review the following. 1. Managers have received, after attending Basic 1 st Aid Training, First Aid Bags. Inside of the bags is a list of Contents and on the reverse side Basic First Aid instructions. Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with what is in the bags. Also, please help your manager by periodically checking the bags to see if any supplies need restocking. Check to make sure that the bandages and ice packs have not been depleted. If you notice that any supplies need restocking, please contact me ASAP and I will make sure that you get replacements. If during a game you need ice, please have a parent or coach go to the snack bar for an ice pack. Please remember to never apply ice directly on the skin. Please make sure there is some type of barrier between the ice and the child s skin! 2. Please review SVLL s Safety Manual that is inside of the 1 st Aid Bag so that you are familiar with it. 3. Please make sure that players, coaches, and managers always bring or have enough water or other fluids to drink during practices and games. Especially on HOT days. We want to make sure no one gets dehydrated. 4. Per Williamsport Rules please know that your managers/coaches must report any incident/injury that requires medical treatment and or first aid to me within 24 hours. You can find a copy of this report in the back of the Safety Manual, at the snack bar and in the Manager s bin. 5. Remind parents and all other spectators NO DOGS are allowed at SVLL fields. 6. Please help us to reduce injuries by keeping kids from climbing and sitting on top of the fences. Our focus is to make this a safe and fun year for our kids to play ball!! If you have any needs or questions, please don t hesitate to contact me. Jonna Eastham, RN, BSN, PHN Seaview Little League Safety Officer JonnaRN@gmail.com
