Welcome back everyone. I hope we all had a safe and fun holiday break. The New Year is upon us, and we have been fortunate to have good weather thus far. Mercy Street would also like to thank all those who helped make 2011 a huge success.
The sports department has an exciting year ahead, and we are looking for our biggest turnout yet for all of our sports programs. First up is baseball, starting in the beginning of April and running through the middle of June. We handed out registration forms to various schools in the West Dallas community before the holidays in an effort to get the word out early. We think this will help increase the numbers of kids playing baseball and help educate the people living in the community about Mercy Street. There will be tryouts held towards the end of February as well as a draft to follow, prior to the start of the season.
Soccer will be up next starting in early October and lasting through November. There will not be tryouts or a draft. We are hoping for an even bigger turnout for 2012. We believe that last season went smoothly but are always trying to improve. It is important to remember that the main goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment for the kids, while we help spread the message of the Gospel to those living in the West Dallas community and beyond.
We are in the process of making calendars for baseball and intend to have them ready in time to hand out during the tryouts. You can also go to www.quickscores.com/mercystreetdallas anytime to check practice and game schedules, rosters, coach information and general announcements. We will provide updated information on the website once we get closer to the start of the season.
We are excited for great things to happen this year and hope everyone enjoys the cool weather while it lasts. Additional information will be posted as needed, and we wish everyone a happy week and weekend.
