 Hello all,

We hope this email finds you well.  As we are about to enter a new season, we at the PVBA are thinking of what else... but the Spring 2010 season!!!

Before we look ahead to 2010 and the inception of our new Senior Division (ages 13-15), we would like to look back at 2009 for a retrospective of our accomplishments as an organization...

Year 5 of the PVBA was just incredible! Over 550 participants joined our PVBA leagues, including a second-year Majors Division and two Girls Softball Divisions (ages 6-12). Opening Day saw more than 1,000 attendees enjoy the barbecue and attractions. Overall approximately 42 teams played ball in PVBA leagues this past Spring!!! Overall play at all levels continued to get more and more competitive. 

The Spring Season was augmented by a hugely successful Fall season, which focused on instruction. We also established several more Summer travel team for kids that play in PVBA (in affiliation with the PV/C travel baseball organization), and ran a Summer Developmental baseball program as well!  All in all, 2009 was a very good year for the development of our program and 2010 promises to be better.

At the conclusion of the 2009 Fall season, the Putnam Valley Baseball Commission and the Putnam Valley Parks & Recreation Department have met several times to determine a course of action for the 2010 season.  Here are some highlights of what you all can expect in 2010:

*  Better and more frequent communications with member families via email as well as our web site www.PVPR.com Our previous site (pvball.org) has since been discontinued in an effort to save the league money and consolidate sties

*  Continued growth and enhancement of our programs (It is expected this 2010 Spring Season will bring close to 600 of Putnam Valley’s children to play baseball and softball in our Town Park)

* Enhanced instruction and guidance for our coaches

* Continued fund-raising to assist us in providing better facilities in the future for our kids, including our new batting cages and pitching machine, which will be ready when the weather breaks

* Continued growth of the Travel Baseball opportunities for our kids
