100 Inning Game: The players play 100 “innings”, with the innings being divided equally between the 3 teams. Each player is asked to get “pledges” for the 100 inning game. Family, friends and neighbors can donate money for every inning played(a donation of 10 cents per inning = $10.00 total). Players should inform donors that 25% of all donations go to the Jed Morris Victory Fund. Collected donations should beplaced in an envelope with the players name and turned in to Chuck Moss by Saturday, Feb. 2. For new players, money can be turned in at February 13 booster club meeting to allow more time to collect pledges.

Mini-Camp: This is the 4th year that we have hosted a “mini-camp” for children ages 5-12. The two-hour camp is run by our players and coaches. Each child is given a t-shirt and a hot dog lunch at the end of the camp.

Alumni Game: This is the 2nd year for the Alumni game which was a big hit last year. Everyone is encouraged to come and watch our former Falcons show their stuff – it will be fun! The alumni players are paying $25.00 to play with the full amount being donated to the Jed Morris Victory Fund.

Carrabbas Lunch: Carrabbas will be serving a delicious lunch from 11:30 – 2:30 on Saturday. The cost for the lunch is $8.00, which includes a drink.

Player Pictures and Profiles: Each player will be photographed before or after their scheduled playing time. They will also need to go to the Website and fill out the “player profile” form. The photos will be used in the program for the entire year, soplease make sure they shave prior to Saturday morning!

Program Ads: Program ads are one of the biggest ways we collect money for our baseball program. Every year we produce a beautiful baseball program with players’ pictures and information in it. We ask the parents and community to help us by placing ads in the program. Each player is requested to sell a targeted $400 worth of ads. Ads must be turned in to Kim Warren by February 13 to make the program deadline. If you have any questions or need more forms, call Kim at 281-488-7908 or email .

Merchandise Sales: Each new player should have received a spirit merchandise sales brochure from Coach Jaso. (Returning players sold merchandise in the fall). This is the only way for you, your son and your family to get t-shirts, hats and other spirit merchandise to support the team. It is not mandatory that your son sell anything, but we do get a nice monetary return from the company on the items sold. All money and forms must be turned in to Coach Jaso by February 14th.
