CLIPPERS BASEBALL CLUB BOARD MEETING
Opening: Clippers Baseball Club Board Meeting was held Monday April 4 (no March meeting) in person at Middle School Commons at 6:00pm.
02/21/2022 Meeting Minutes
- Open discussion
Jim Thompson talking about Clipper Classic Tournament- 88 teams signed up so far. Needing fields for 14U. Remind Clipper team to sign up because space is getting limited.
Baseballs- they will supply baseballs and bill out for them (around $36 dozen) and the leftover balls will go back to the club.
Site directors- if TBT supplies them its around $25 an hour per person, but the club can provide to save money. Collecting gate fees, sending pitch cards, “babysitting fields”, maybe have to rake/prep fields pending complex, etc… Voted to have TBT to hire site directors.
Concession stand at Penn Meadows- North Liberty Youth Baseball
Kona Ice? HS clubs rake fields
Schedules won’t be released until 1-2 weeks before, but can change up to a few days before
Umpires: $75 behind the plate/ $60 for bases per game was paid last year. In the past have paid $450 Brent to hire and schedule umps and be on site to help. Voted to leave it the same as last year. Umps get paid when they are done (after day 1 OR after day 2 pending what they’re scheduled for- directors pay umps.) 8 U one ump, 9 U & up 2 umps. 8 U ump behind the plate.
Portables- Penn meadows might need a few more.
