We would like to thank Kevin MacDonald for coordinating the Basketball Program for the last several years. He has done a wonderful job and we are sad to report that Kevin is stepping down as director.
We are in need of a new director for this program. Yes, it is a lot of work but it is also very rewarding. Please come forward to help save this program. If we do not have parents/volunteers step up to help as coordinators we could lose this important skills building program. Talk to a few of your friends and share the job. Kevin is happy to help get you set up and continue to be involved in a supporting role.
If you are able to help, please contact Kevin at kevin@raymondbaseballsoftball.com by September 1st so we can get plans in place for a great program this winter!
