  • Fall Ball Report: Erik and Andy reported that the program is over and that the umpire training was very effective. A total of 18 new umpires were trained. The program was the highest number of participants ever in the TCLL history.
  • Joe Wagner Improvements Report: Ted reported on the effect of the recent storm on the improvement projects and how it shrunk the scope of the job. The smaller project will be completed in time for opening day in March, 2022.  Also, the improvements along the left field line were discussed and will be implemented. Noted was the increased need for practice facilities, following the closing of LineDrive.
  • Player Evaluations Committee: A written report will be available shortly, but the BOD received an oral report from several committee members. Player evaluations will be restructured to include tryouts by age rather than division, tryout in groups of 20 to 30 players, and a make-up by video tryout for those that miss the January 22 date. The report will be supplied to the Rules Committee and the entire BOD. An e-mail outlining the new procedure will accompany the announcement later this week about registration.
