Hello…..
January 2012
A message from the President…..
HHYBS in the News!!!!!
Just incase you missed the article in the local Newspaper a few weeks ago I wanted to make sure you had a chance to read it here. Below is the actual article from that edition. Enjoy!
I wanted to introduce myself to any family unfamiliar with my previous involvement with the Hickory Hills Youth Baseball & Softball Program. My name is Melissa Stiegal & I’ve been assisting with the instruction of our kids over the past ten years. This year I have accepted the position of Softball Director & am excited to get things started in the right direction. The 2012 HHYBS Registration will be held on January 19, 2012 & February 16, 2012 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Hickory Hills Community Center. We will be offering a Winter Softball Camp starting Saturday, January 21, 2012, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns. Please pass this invitation along to any family interested in a quality, low cost & competitive organization. I am looking forward to seeing you at the registrations. Sincerely, Melissa Stiegal HHYBS Softball Director
Merry Christmas to road-weary ballplayers

So, moms and dads, perhaps you’re reading this while Junior and Missy are out in the driveway, seeing how far a $50 Fijit can fly off the barrel of a $300 BBCOR bat. Maybe, if you’re really blessed this holiday season, one of the little darlings is sliding in right now for a close play at the $100 Leap pad that’s doubling for home plate. Or maybe you’re just wondering how you can pay off all this holly and jolly by the time you have to pony up registration fees for travel baseball. If that sounds like you, and if you happen to live in Hickory Hills, Worth, Bedford Park, Bridgeview, Orland Hills, Crestwood, Blue Island, Hometown or Country Club Hills, I have one thing to say to you: (continued on page 2)

Message from the President & Melissa Stiegal Message from the President (continued) Winter Camp Info. 2012 Registration flier Sponsorship info.
(Message from the President continued from page 1) Merry Christmas! The price of playing lots of ballgames against a wide variety of competition just took a big cut in the above communities, all of which will be part of the expanded Southwest Interleague baseball and softball programs in 2012. Why am I telling you this now, months before opening day? Joe Marrotta asked. “We want word to get out there fast, before all these kids sign up to play with these watered-down travel teams,” Marrotta said. Marrotta, 38, is a deputy with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, the president of Hickory Hills Youth Baseball, the 4th Ward Alderman in Palos Hills, and not shy with his opinions. To hear him tell it, travel ball is killing community-based, or “in-house” leagues — and while it grows bigger, it’s also growing weaker. “When I was a kid, (travel) was the elite of the elite,” he said. “Nowadays, every father that gets mad at a league starts a travel team.” Watered down or not, travel leagues are indisputably pricey. It’s easy to spend well into four figures per child for a travel season. “You can go to a travel team and pay $2,000,” Marrotta said, “or you can come to Hickory Hills and pay $100.” For that $100, kids can expect to play about 40 games over a season. The league’s longest drive will be from Bedford Park to Country Club Hills — less than 20 miles. Last year, the Southwest Interleague had teams from four towns — Hickory Hills, Bridgeview, Bedford Park and Worth. This year, the group is adding at least six communities — three others are weighing whether to sign on. Jim Gutierrez, the vice president of the Orland Hills Youth Association, helped his league dip a toe into interleague play last year. This year? “We’re jumping in,” the 42-year-old Lockport firefighter said. “We have experienced the benefits of it. We’ve gone from five or six communities and now we’re in with 10. We think we knocked this one out of the park.” Certainly, the OHYA had to take a hack at something. Two years ago, Gutierrez said, it had three or four teams in each of its six age divisions and played a strictly in-house schedule. Last year, the numbers dropped, leaving two teams in most divisions. “We reached out to other communities to see what they had to offer,” he said. “They were running into the same problems.” Nobody likes to play an entire schedule against one or two opponents. But then, not everyone wants the financial commitment of travel ball, or some of its grander pretensions. “Are they all elite players? I don’t know,” Gutierrez said. “I just know my boys love to play baseball. “We’re trying to avoid extinction of local programs. ... If you can’t afford $2,000, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to play.” No doubt, the towns new and old to the Southwest Interleague haven’t thought of everything. Though they’ve agreed on the rule book they’ll use, inevitably there will be differing interpretations. Each league has one representative on the interleague board, and they’ll elect a chairman at their next meeting — which will no doubt test egos and patience. And wherever money is involved, even small amounts, arguments follow. But, listening to Gutierrez talk about fees ranging from $60 to $110 for kids ages 5 to 16, it’s easy to root for the league’s success. “That includes everything from registration to uniforms,” he said. Sounds like a good deal to me.

In the past your business has been a proud sponsor of Hickory Hills Youth Baseball/Softball and for the upcoming season, we are looking for your generosity once again.
With today’s economy we are seeing more of our families struggling. The economic problem is trickling down and we have many children who can’t afford to play. In order to keep our children interested in the sport and also to keep them involved in an organized activity, we are asking for your help. We do not receive outside funding from any park districts, cities, counties or state entities. We are fully funded by registration fees, fundraising activities, and generous donations from businesses like you. We are a non for profit organization so all donations are tax deductible. HHYBS will never turn a child away whose family can’t afford the fees. This is why we have come to you for support. Attached is a sponsorship sheet that outlines our 8 different levels of sponsorship. Youth Baseball programs impact the lives and development of many children in our communities, and this year especially we want to make sure our children have the opportunity again to play.

Please look over the attached sponsorships, and know that your donation will be greatly appreciated by many players in the present as well as the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at anytime by calling (708) 277-4562 or by email at [email protected]. Thank you for your support,

Dear Friend:
In the past your business has been a proud sponsor of Hickory Hills Youth Baseball/Softball and for the upcoming season, we are looking for your generosity once again.
With today’s economy we are seeing more of our families struggling. The economic problem is trickling down and we have many children who can’t afford to play. In order to keep our children interested in the sport and also to keep them involved in an organized activity, we are asking for your help. We do not receive outside funding from any park districts, cities, counties or state entities. We are fully funded by registration fees, fundraising activities, and generous donations from businesses like you. We are a non for profit organization so all donations are tax deductible. HHYBS will never turn a child away whose family can’t afford the fees. This is why we have come to you for support. Attached is a sponsorship sheet that outlines our 8 different levels of sponsorship. Youth Baseball programs impact the lives and development of many children in our communities, and this year especially we want to make sure our children have the opportunity again to play. Your donation will help compensate children’s registration fees, buy new equipment, and assist with day to day upkeep of our fields. Please look over the attached sponsorships, and know that your donation will be greatly appreciated by many players in the present as well as the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at anytime by calling (708) 277-4562 or by email at [email protected]. Thank you for your support,
Joe Marrotta
