Vipers Parents,

Welcome to the Vipers Season!  I wanted to throw out a little important information as we enter into tournament season.

All our teams are about to step into what we say, the “Big Pond” of baseball. Some teams are heading to Manteca where all the top tier teams play. It’s a great experience for our kids to see what it takes to compete with this level of play. As well playing in some stadium type atmospheres. Turf fields, lights, you name it.

But I want everyone to realize, we are a neighborhood club comprised of 1 little league. (Not many clubs do what we are doing). In 2022, of our teams played a top Major Level team (For the 5th time in a year and had gone 0-5 against), pulls from a 5 hour radius to play on this one top tier team in our area. Our players love the challenge and believe one day we will beat them.

From a parents side, enjoy the weekends and encourage the boys to do their best.  Soak up this time.

Lastly, there could be tournaments that can have as many as 84 teams in total over all divisions, so it will likely be the biggest tournament the boys ever play in.  Take it all in!

Any questions, please direct at your coach and they can route to me if they are unsure!

Take care

Mark Douglas & the Rincon Vipers Board
