Myrtle Grove Optimist Baseball Youth Day at a UNCW Baseball game, May 6th
On behalf of UNCW Sports Marketing, we would like to invite Myrtle Grove teams to a youth baseball day on Sunday, May 6th for our game against Towson University. The game begins at 2:00 pm at Brooks Field on UNCW campus. All players from Myrtle Grove Optimist that wear their jerseys will be admitted free. Parents can purchase a ticket for $5 ahead of time or at the gate.
We would also like to offer the opportunity on this day to participate in our "Teams of Tomorrow" program. For $6 a player, your team can run out on the field during player introductions with the UNCW baseball team and each player will receive a meal consisting of a drink, a hot dog, popcorn and candy. We will be able to take 2 teams from your league on this day to participate in Teams of Tomorrow. Players wearing their jersey will be admitted free into this game regardless if they participate in Teams of Tomorrow!
If your team is interested in participating in the "Teams of Tomorrow"
program on another day other than April 1st, you may do so, however it will be $10 a player which will include a ticket, running on the field during player introductions and a meal. Any game is available to you except the NCSU and ECU game. Please let me know a week in advance of the game that your team is interested in. The schedule can be found on the UNCW website
here: http://www.uncwsports.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=19800&SPID=11329&SPSID=92915
We would love to have you in attendance with us every game, but on May 6th especially! Please let me know if you would like to participate in this opportunity on May 6th, or if you are interested in the Teams of Tomorrow.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
