Do you WISH you were a better ballplayer? Are you tired of going 0-for-4? Are you embarrassed by your on-base percentage? Are you sick of pulling muscles? Well HERE IS YOUR CHANCE to finally step-up your game.

Alan Tanner and Bob O’Brien are two of the best players and coaches in North America. A number of our CSMS League members have benefited greatly from their annual 2-1/2 day Softball Spring Training camp in Vero Beach, Florida.

Alan and Bob have started taking their camp ‘on the road’ to such places as Colorado Springs and Tacoma. Now WE have the chance to bring them to Calgary this summer so our southern Alberta leagues can benefit from their great teaching. All it takes is a minimum of 18 committed players, (men 50+, women 40+).

Expressions of interest are all that are needed right now. Women’s league, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Kelowna, are all welcome. Cost will be US$299.00. Here is a link to their brochure:

If interested, drop me an email at garyw@thepaukerts.net.

Time to kick it up a notch, everyone!

Hey Everyone,

Now that the Long Weekend is over, I thought I would send out another reminder
about our upcoming Pub Night.

CSMS 55+ has booked JT’s for a private gathering. Essentially, they are opening JT’s for us that night so we can enjoy a get together for a pub night and watch the game. See some friends and share notes about your individual winter training program! We plan on ordering in some pizzas so if you think you will attend, please send in an email so we have some idea of expected number of guests. There will be a few door prizes (not a new bat, more like a hat or a chocolate bar)

Please Email, Chris Tucker
president@grandslamslopitch.com

The game starts at 8 pm but we have JT’s booked from 6pm until 11pm.

We are expecting between 40-50 people, so please RSVP asap.

SEND YOUR RSVP’s TO THE PREZCHRIS TUCKER (not me)

Cheers Everyone,
