Reminder to all members that work the Pancake Breakfasts(our first one is Saturday, January 14th starting at 8:00 AM) – you must have a current food handlers card to work with food. They cost $7.99, but after passing the test( efoodcard.com ) and receiving your Arizona food handlers card, you can get reimbursed by Roberts Resort.
If you have any questions, contact Larry Mullen at 319-610-5976 for assistance.
Meet at the parking lot at 9 AM and travel to the ballfields in Apache Junction, Prospector Park.

For all the softball players including any newbies, the batting cage is up and ready for use! If anyone wants to try it, and needs assistance with the pitching machine, text me(Kevin Wike) at 717-926-4325. Play ball!!
To all members who are currently at GCRV – we need volunteers to help put the batting cage net up. We are doing this at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, October 19th! We can use the help!
Recently a new page was added to our website. It’s titled “Videos”, and consists of instructional and “drill” videos on hitting, pitching/throwing and fielding. The direct link to the page is thegcsa.org/videos-2 .
Take a quick look, and you might be amazed at how much these can help your playing if you’re willing to put in a little extra time in the cage, etc.
From time to time we’ll change and add more videos. If you have any suggestions of videos to put on to our “Videos” page, please send an email to [email protected] .
