Colchester Summer Ball

05/22/2026

Tee ball shirts will be handed out to coaches in the next couple of days.

I will be at Friendway Park tomorrow from 9-10am hanging business banners, dumping trash cans, and doing some field maintenance items if anyone is willing to volunteer to help.

For any parent that still needs to pay their registration fees, you can turn them in to your coach or to the concession stand this week. If you’re writing a check, put your player(s) name in the memo line of the check. If paying cash, someone will write the player(s) name and team on the big envelope so we can enter it correctly on our spreadsheet.

The ball park will be extremely busy the next several weeks so please talk about safety to your children when on the park grounds.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Tonight’s boys junior game between Beck Pest Control & Lewistown has been postponed as Lewistown won’t have enough players. Reschedule date is TBD.

A great first week, tee ball starts next week and Friendway Park will be busy. Please drive safe and be aware of your surroundings when entering/exiting the park. Help us keep the grounds clean by throwing away trash, cleaning out dugouts after games, & dumping trash cans in the dumpster if possible.

Please post any good photos in the comments if you have any.

A huge thank you to Shawney Knowles, Alex Ruebush, Kelsey Broadhead, and anyone else that helped finish get the fields prepped/set up for the games so I could go watch the WP Cyclones play in Peoria! If you would like to volunteer to help in any capacity, please send me a message. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Update:
Games will be starting at Friendway this week, we’d like to announce our partnership with Trail’s End Concessions, they will be setting up over the next few days and have a selection of items this coming week before adding a whole bunch of items for the rest of the season. If you have a teenager looking for some money this summer, please reach out to us and we’ll put you in contact with Trail’s End Concessions.

Umpire meeting went well, we have some youth umpires that will be in charge of the younger divisions and also helping our patched umpires for the older divisions. Please encourage all umpires positively!

There was a delay in business banners as I had to switch companies early this past week. They should arrive later next week, if you would like a couple volunteer hours (looks great on scholarship applications), please message us and we’ll give you details on when we hang them.

Have a great weekend!!

Looking for help on a decision about concessions:

Option 1: find a vendor with a food license to run concessions on their own, this has been done in the past and has taken the workload and scheduling difficulty off my shoulders. If you are interested, please message me.

Option 2: we run our own concessions and hire HS students to work it. We would ask for donations from the public for 20oz bottles of pop/Gatorade/water, candy bars, ice cream, etc. if you are someone that would be willing to work, please message me. Would be needed from 5pm-9pm on most nights.

Our games at Friendway start 5/19 and go thru July 6th. Please comment with ideas, feedback, or if you’re willing to donate items.

Tee ball team rosters were sent to coaches recently so you should hear from a coach in the next few days. We have a record breaking amount of tee ball teams, 8!

We are in need of 3 more team sponsors, please reach out if you are a business willing to sponsor a team.

All 3 scoreboards are up, the new lights are on the north and south field, and things are looking to be ready for us to start hosting home games starting the week of 5/18.

Please stay away from the fallen light pole on the north field. I hope that will be taken care of asap! This is out of my control!

Have a great weekend!
