Just a note to the 14 year olds from last year who see this newsletter: You won't be mailed a registration form at this time.
  Please pay close attention to announcements concerning baseball clinics at your high school.  This will be your first opportunity to meet with the high school coaches who will be furthering your baseball playing career.  If you have any questions concerning these clinics, contact your high school baseball coach or the athletic director at your high school.
  In February, you will be trying out for the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams at your high school.  If you are not placed on one of these teams, you will be eligible for the Level III program.  The Level III program in the Arvada/Westminster high school areas is administered by North Jefferson Junior Baseball.
  Later in the spring (late April - early May), all 14 year olds from last year, and eligible players from last years Seniors program will receive Seniors Registration material in the mail.  This program is open to all players who will be 17 or younger on July 31st of 2002.  If you did not participate in spring ball (Varsity, Junior Varsity or Level III) through your High School, this will be your opportunity to play baseball this year.
  For more information, contact: Ed Sauter at 303-422-4323.
