Little League Field Dedicated to Hunter Resch

2010-05-20T06:34:00.000-07:00

The name of a life cut very short will live on at a little league field in Charlotte.

The Charlotte Youth Athletic Associate Little League named one of its T-Ball fields "Hunter Resch Field." ***

Hunter's mother was on hand as a sign with his name and smiling picture was unveiled. He played two seasons with the league as a member of the Burlington Bees.

League members said that by dedicating the field in Hunter's name, he will always be a part of an extended family.

"This is a family-oriented league and as with any family member. You look after your family and we wanted to add his memory because he was part of our family and he will continue to be a part of our family, even if it's as a memory," said Brian Labigan, CYAA president.

In addition to the field dedication, Hunter's initials are printed on all player and coach uniforms across the league.

Are You Ready for Some Baseball???

2009-04-27T13:32:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the 2009 CYAA baseball season.

Please see the post below regarding the Mandatory Parent-Only Meeting.

We are asking that everyone bring in a non-perishable food item that will be
donated to a local food cupboard.

And, for those of you returning, I am sure that you may be finding out that your
kids have outgrown their uniform pants, cleats, and even mitts. I, myself have
2 or 3 pairs of cleats and a bunch of baseball mitts that my kids have outgrown.
Please do not throw them out. Bring them to the meeting and we will have a box
to collect those items that your kids have outgrown. And, if a family is having
some difficulty, we will be able to provide them some assistance. We don't want
to have any worries on the fields... only fun.

The CYAA Board looks forward to welcoming back our returning familes and to
meeting all the new families that are joining us this year.

We are also looking to fill some volunteer vacancies so please do not hesitate
to ask what you can do.

We will see you next week... Enjoy the great weather

Joan M. Gilman
CYAA League Secretary

Your Help Needed

2009-03-02T08:20:00.001-08:00

Changes to the CYAA Website are coming. Any ideas are welcome. What would you like to see on it? We have noticed a lot of cameras at the CYAA events and if you can forward any photos you'd like to share, we'll get them up. You can send them via an attachment to an email to cyaabaseballwebmaster@yahoo.com or send a message to me to request other arrangements. If you feel your team or individual player is under-represented, this is your chance to ensure that there are more photos to choose from. You can also, at any event, request that a photo be taken of you and your player or team.
