All,

   The November FNLL Monthly Coaches meeting will take place this Thursday, November 8^th starting at 7PM in the Fairfield Woods Middle School cafeteria.  As part of the November agenda, we will be voting on the 2019 Board of Directors.  All are welcome to attend.

FNLL Families,

    Due to the inclement weather this week, the evaluations for Fairfield Travel Baseball have been rescheduled to Saturday, November 10th and Sunday, November 11th.  Evaluations will still take place at FWMS between 10-2pm each day.  Players only need to attend one of the two dates.  Each player can come anywhere during this window, complete their evaluation measurements and then leave. They are not required to be at the field for the entire 4 hours.  Once they warm up and then complete their measurements, they have completed their evalutation requirements and are free to go.   For those families who cannot make either date, Coach Catapano is trying to secure indoor space to complete evaluations.  Please note that dates/times for this option will be limited. 

Interested families should go back to their registration and select the new date which their player will attend evaluations.
