The Shawano Youth Tournament Weekends Kick Off Friday Night at Memorial Park
Shawano Youth League is set to host three weekends of Little League Baseball and Softball tournaments.
“It also gives our kids a great chance to play in front of the hometown crowd” Shawano Youth League President Dustin Beyer said.
“Obviously it is one of our biggest fundraisers and it really supports our league. It really makes our kids better.”
Beyer said that comes with a lot of hard work and dedication to the program.
“Every parent in the league is working at least one of these three weekends, so it takes a large group to make it happen.”
Money is made mostly on concessions. Beyer said on a given weekend, that could bring in quite a bit.
“With the funds that we make, we can put it back into the program and it makes our kids better ball players.
Shawano Youth League is not the only one to benefit from the large groups of people. The Shawano Country Chamber said this many people in town and with time to kill in between games has been a benefit to the City of Shawano.
The month of July marks the final month for the Youth League.
“We just got done with our in house season, but now we hit the final stretch for the travel teams” Beyer said.
Weather is always a concern for the weekend. For the most part, the Youth Leauge will do everything possible to get all the games in. Last year, one of the Championship Sunday’s was rained out. Beyer said that was a financial hit, but they were able to recover.
“Hopefully the weather works out and mother nature is on our side. We have nine days of baseball and softball that we need to play this month.”
For those who enjoy watching ballgames, the month of July will offer plenty of opportunity.
“Anytime you stop by this weekend, there will probably be a Shawano team playing on one of the fields somewhere” Beyer said. “It is a great chance to stop by and cheer on Shawano baseball and softball.”
