| Dear
friends and associates, It is with great sadness that I report the passing of our commissioner and friend, Jason Jewell, on April 8, 2012. Jason succumbed to pancreatic cancer which was just recently diagnosed. We grieve and offer our prayers and thoughts to the Jewell family. Jason loved the game of baseball and made just a tremendous contribution to the sport, the kids and certainty to our organization. As we move forward to carry on Jason’s work, it is appropriate to stop and reflect on the remarkable impact he made on the lives of youth around the community. Jason will be sadly and profoundly missed, but never forgotten. Sincerely, Dave Huss Cal Ripken President |
Our goal, as an organization, is to nurture children and young adults in their development both as athletes and as people. We provide a firm and supportive environment, which encourages learning while building self-confidence and self-esteem. We stress throughout the league the teaching of fundamentals, sportsmanship, and express the fun of the great game of baseball.
In the younger age groups we de-emphasize winning and losing and really concentrate on teaching the game. In the older age groups, we introduce individual position instruction, team work, and we keep winning and losing in perspective.
We understand that one can get caught up in the competition aspect of the sport. But, the first law of sports participation is that it is supposed to be a fun, rewarding and a learning experience. We want our children to get the most from their baseball experience. A happy, confident child can look forward to a rewarding and successful adulthood.
Everything we as the Board, and hopefully everything that you do will support these goals and the mission statement of BJLBA Baseball. So on behalf of the BJLBA, we look forward to the opportunity to provide your child with a quality baseball experience. See you at the ballpark.
