Don't forget about the 2010 winter conditioning program that started last week.

DAYAA has scheduled the 2010 winter conditioning program for boys and girls at the Derry Area High School gymnasium.  The program will start this Sunday, January 10.  Girls softball conditioning is for girls ages 7 through 14 and will run from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.  Baseball conditioning for ages 7, 8 and 9 will be from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM followed by conditionign for 10, 11, and 12 year olds from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.  Registration cost is $30 per child or $50 per family for each respective program.  Winter conditioning will run every Sunday through March 7th with the exception of February 7th.  Please bring gym shoes, a ball glove, and a favorite bat.

Please do not wear your gym shoes to and from conditioning.  The winter weather makes for a big mess in the gym if we do not carry our gym shoes to practice.

It is always a great idea to get the cob webs out and and get ready for the upcoming 2010 ball seasons.  Hope to see you all there.
