Well, now we all know where these guys take batting practice! From left,
Shaun Profeta, Steven Rodriguez, Steven Moon and B.J. Bensoua
Welcome Back Everyone, It's that time of year again when dedication and commitment stand out among many parents, players and the people of our community. In preparation for this millennium season we have gone to great lengths to provide upgrades to our facility, involve our community more in our endeavors and plan a variety of upcoming events to highlight our baseball season here at Lomita Little League.
We have and will keep striving for the goals we have set forth for this season and many more to come. For some of our children it will be their last year in Little League and for others they are just starting out. Therefore, it is our plan to make this a good memory for the seniors and something to look forward to next year for the returning players and their families.
We ask you as parents and participants to help us provide a clean and safe environment for our children. Everything we do reflects on our children in some way. Little League is a place where people can come no matter what religion, race or background; watch their children in a good game of baseball and for a little while forget about the animosities of the world. Parents walk away with smiles on their faces and know in their hearts this is what it's all about; THE KIDS! We might not always see eye to eye but we all have the responsibility of teaching our kids good sportsmanship, and the value of friendship.
We have a "stay positive rule" around Lomita Little League, even though it's hard sometimes. But we have seen many good things come about because of perseverance and staying positive. I hope all of you will join us in our philosophy. It makes for a better environment for our kids.Thanks to all for your time and commitment.
Sunnie Taylor
President
