To The Players: Spring is Here and It's Time To Play!

You are a member of the Pelham Pirates Girls International Softball Team! This is very exciting!

I am your coach. My name is Blake Bell. You can call me Coach or Coach Blake or Coach Bell. We have five other coaches: Stephen Broege (Alexandra's Dad), Tom Roksvold (Kristina's Dad), Ed Petti (Bridget's Dad) and Gary and Kathleen Rothschild (Phoebe's Mom and Dad).

The great thing about this team is that everyone's Mom and Dad can be a coach or can be with us just to watch the fun! We are going to have lots of fun together. We are going to run and play. We will learn to throw balls the way the big ballplayers do. We will hit balls with our baseball bats the way Major League ballplayers do and will practice on batting tees also the way Major League ballplayers do. We will have our own uniforms and will learn to catch with our baseball gloves the way we are supposed to use those gloves.

Most importantly, we are going to make fnew riends while we play! We are going to learn lots of wonderful things together. I can hardly wait!
