2023 Season Just Around the Corner

Hey Everyone,

Just an update for Everyone.

Our 2023 Registration is well under way, and as of 4:00 pm this afternoon, we have 119 Players Registered
including 15 New Players.

Looks like another Great Season Ahead for Everyone !!

There are only 75 days left until May 1st and our new Season will commence shortly after that date.
I know lots of the Diehards have been busy getting ready for the new season !!
I’ve heard reports of many guys already visiting the Batting Cages, playing winter-ball (here and down south) guys smashing balls into nets in their Garages (I’m guilty of that one), participating in some indoor HitTrax Tournaments. Bats have been flying off the shelves as well as new gloves, cleats and misc softball gear as guys start Gearing up for a New Season.
Be sure to have a look inside your bag to see if there was something you needed to pick up or get repaired before the New Season Gets underway.

For you not yet registered players, let’s pick up the pace. Our Registrar is feeling neglected (not really). But with all the work that has to be done behind the scenes please don’t leave registration until the last Day.

And How About a Great Quote for Everyone to Enjoy,

“In playing ball, and in life, a person occasionally gets the opportunity to do something great. When that time comes, only two things matter: being prepared to seize the moment and having the courage to take your best swing.”
– Hank Aaron.

Cheers Everyone,
Paul M

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to remind everyone that we created a registration Video last year, that can be found on
the Home Page of our website, under LINKS.
“How to Register Video”

Here is a copy of the Link directly below that will take you right to the video.

https://youtu.be/7hHQuLbIyOQ

This video was made last year, so don’t get hung up on any Dates or any Pricing shown.

And here is the Direct Link to our CSMS 55+ Website, where you can also view the Video.
https://www.grandslamslopitch.com/

The Video is almost 11 minutes long but it is worth the watch.
And the Actor that was hired is exceptional in his performance.
I still can’t believe he didn’t receive an Oscar !!

Cheers Everyone,

Hey Everyone,

We are off to a good but ROUGH Start to registration today !!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Take your time and READ the instructions !!
If you don’t get to the payment page, you have more than likely made a mistake.
Such as under the Heading,
What are you Registering For ?
If you mean to select Regular but select Alumni by Mistake, when you get to the Payment Page
you end up being Done, because Alumni don’t pay. (Sorry Kevin)

This is not a race. Take YOUR TIME.

Also if you see a sentence above the Any Box that says,
(Please use this Format)
Example, (Please use 123-456-7890 format) then PLEASE use that Format
Do Not enter 1234567890 or (123) 4567890 USE THE HYPHENS AS SHOWN !!
Phone numbers must be in the Format Shown IN THE Discription Above not what is pictured inside the little Box.
Every wrong Entry has to be manually changed !! Sorry John and Gary !!

And under Your Birthdate: (not todays date)
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO ENTER YOUR BIRTHDATE.
Don’t skip that and just leave the Date that shows up. We know that you were not born Today !!

Many have registered today with no issues, but many have had issues that could have been resolved by reading
the Instructions and taking your time to ensure all the Answers are filled in Correctly.

Thanks for Helping Out Everyone.
And for taking the Time to Read my little Rant, I will make a Point of Taking Your Picture during this
Upcoming Season and Posting it on Facebook.

Cheers Everyone,
Paul M
