I know the boys will bring their A-game and do well !!

We will keep you updated as we go along.

Wish us luck .....

GO WILDCATS !!!! WOO-HOO !!!

Hello ... its been awhile

Well, it has been awhile. I do apologize. The Wildcats are having a great summer in so many ways. First of all they are laying low and learning to gel with each other. It is working !! Our new players, Liam, Patrick, Alex and Nick are fitting in terrifically !! They have become a nice addition to our group. The boys have been in a couple of tournaments and are doing pretty good.

Practices are happening and they are enjoying their time together getting to know each other, its been a long road.

In our last tournament, the Long Island

Wildcats played a team that was superior, definately. The Wildcats did AWESOME !!! I was so proud and happy as a parent to watch how well they did. We wound up losing, but we scored seven runs against a team that no one had ever scored more than two runs against !! Some of the "boys" on that team were the size of the Wildcats fathers !! Wow !!

It was great day for baseball. The fields were nice, the weather was beautiful and the company was GREAT ! We have an incredible bunch of parents, kids, coaches and friends.

So, until next time ... enjoy the rest of your summer !!!

Happy Memorial Day !!

The Wildcats Family wants to wish everyone a very happy and safe Memorial Day holiday. The pools are open, the bar-b-ques are hot - but let's not forget the real reason for Memorial Day. Thank you to all our Veterans, past and present. Thank you !

New Uniforms ...

I have only seen one uniform, on my son, and it is SWEET !! The new and improved Long Island Wildcats have gotten new uniforms. Still the same great colors, light blue and dark blue, but a new design. Once they are all together and looking so sharp, they have to win !!! Thanks for putting it all together Coach Anthony - I am sure they will look amazing !

No games this weekend, but there will be practice.

Until next week ....

Last two games ...

Well, its been a rough Spring season so far. The boys are working hard but they just can't seem to catch a break. It seems like they are working hard and not getting anywhere. The games have been very good - exciting games. We have only lost by a few runs in each game, so we are hanging in there. This past weekend the Wildcats lost their two Sunday games against the Rocks, from East Rockaway.

Oh well, better luck next time. The "new" Wildcats are gelling and we seem to have some good fits !!

Stay tuned for the next update .... we still LOVE our Wildcats !!!

Next weeks games to be announced ....

Sunday's Results ...

Well, we had a terrific Sunday on the baseball field. The Mom's had a lot of fun on the sidelines cheering for our Wildcats.

Unfortunately, the baseball wasn't all that yesterday. The boys played very well in both games, but the other team played just a bit better and we lost both games. :(

The weather was spectacular yesterday and we had a nice smorgasboard of things to eat. Coach Lisa made phenomenal cupcakes that were DELICIOUS !!! Thanks to all the Mom's who helped out - we appreciate all your help and support, even on Mother's Day !! We know the boys have it in them, so we know they will practice hard this week and this coming Saturday will be our day - Go Wildcats !!!

Next week's games are on SATURDAY. Bay Park, East Rockaway at 6:00pm. The boys will be playing "under the lights" - how exciting !!! Should be fun, something new.

Thanks as usual to our great Coaches, without them we would not be. They teach our kids much more than baseball. As a parent I appreciate that !

Until next week ....

Happy Mother's Day !!

To all our Wildcats mothers, from the bottom of our hearts we wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day !! That includes Mom's, Aunt's, Grandmother's, Godmother's and friends who help along the way. We all know how much the "Mom's" do for us each and everyday, we do appreciate it. Although we have an early game Sunday, we know as many of you who can come will be there. Last year on Mother's Day we were in Randall's Island playing those GINORMOUS "kids", we had a great day. I can't make any promises but I know we ALWAYS have fun. So, we will see everyone bright eyed and bushy-tailed early Sunday morning - Mother's Day.

Until Sunday ...

What a day ...

Well, I have to say today was one GREAT day for baseball !!! The Wildcats did awesome. Unfortunately, they did lose the first game to the Aces, but they played well. The second game they won and played amazingly ! Ray-Ray Close had two incredible games and went on to receive the game ball after game 2. Nick P. "Block" had a great hit in game two, shot right down intoright field. Alex played a terrific defensive second base for both games today. Patrick hit very well in both games as well today. Welcome back Joey Duszak, we've missed you !! Once again fabulous pitching by Matt Kurta and Joey Nicoletti. Two incredible games by everybody , its been a long time coming. I unfortunately missed the first game, but the second game was amazing !!

We are so glad to have ALL our new Wildcats. The new and the old are meshing very nicely and are quickly becoming "The Wildcats".

As always, thank you to all our coaches, without you guys (and girl) we would have nothing. Sure, the boys could play baseball anywhere, but we are all part of

"something" because of the coaches. To the Wildcats fans ... the best around, what can be said - the fans are terrific and we love that we always have so much support from family and friends alike.

I know that I am not alone in saying that all the parents are so proud of ALL the

boys. They go out week after week and give it their best shot, sometimes a little harder than others, but they do it. Today was an example of what can be accomplished. Keep up the good work Wildcats and the Coaches.

We will see everyone next week for the doubleheader - let's not forget it is Mother's Day ... we all know how much our moms do for us !! Have a good week.

Game on ...

Games are on for today. Looks like we will have a beautiful day for some baseball, thank goodness, finally !! First game starts at 9am in East Meadow (Salisbury Fields).

Sign in later for updates from both games.

Sun is shining, birds are chirpin', let's play some ball !!

Let's go Wildcats !! Woo-Hoo ...

FIELD CHANGE ...

This Sunday's game location has been changed !!! PLEASE NOTE ... the game will now be played at Salisbury Fields in East Meadow. (It is near the jail over there, corner of Salisbury Park Drive & Carman Avenue) Be warned, however, there is a marathon being held Sunday down Hempstead Turnpike. I am being told if you go before 7:45am you can go thru the Hempstead Turnpike way, if not go from Old Country Road. The Coaches would like the boys to be there by 8am anyway !! I know its early, send them to bed early Saturday night !! LOL

See everyone there Sunday.

Let's go Wildcats !!

We're back ....

So we hope everyone had a great Holiday. Now onto baseball, we resume this weekend with practice Saturday at 6pm at Carey HS field, you should have received and e-mail in regards from Coach Anthony. If you have not, bring it to his attention. Our next game is Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 9 am at Oceanside Field #3. The schedule is posted on the league website (www.ncyaa.org) or on here. Looks like some good games are coming up and should be a lot of fun. I know the boys will bring their "A" games and do what we KNOW they are capable of doing !!! Now that we are back in the swing of things and spring has definitely shown its face, let's play some ball !!

While on this past vacation, my family went to a Long Island Aquarium, while there we saw a Wildcats frog. Really ? Yes. Look at the picture and tell me no. He was dark and light blue and we could not believe our eyes. Sure enough, a Wildcat frog does exist on Long Island !

Let's go Wildcats !!

Game #1 and #2

Well, we are off to a not so great start. First two games we lost. But as they say, you win some and you lose some - that's the name of the game. Hopefully we have it out of our system. So, from here on in we will do the winning. The boys have a few kinks to work out and will do so by next week, we hope !!!

The new Wildcats held their own and hope they are as happy to be here, as we are to have them !

Anyway we are all happy to be back at the baseball diamond cheering on our favorite team. It was a little bit chilly, but that too should get better.

Stay tuned for further Wildcats information ....

Welcome ...

So tomorrow is our Spring 2011 opener at Rath Park - come on down and see some baseball !! The Wildcats had a practice today and are looking fierce ! We would like to welcome our new players into the Wildcats Family. Welcome to Liam, Nick, Alex and Patrick !! So far so good, they are a nice addition to our already wonderful family.

I know the boys are bringing their "A" game to Rath Park tomorrow. Let's

"PLAY BALL" !!!

Thanks as always to Coach Anthony, Coach Lisa, Coach Steve and Coach Charlie for all you do !!! We wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for all of you. To the parents, as usual, it is a pleasure to spend Sunday mornings and afternoons together.

Its official -

The first game of the Spring 2011 season is scheduled for Sunday, April 10 at 1:15pm at Newbridge Rd. Field #1.

Its officially baseball season, the Yankees are playing, the Mets are playing and now the Wildcats will be playing !!

Woo - Hoo !!

Let's go Wildcats !!!

Its coming ....

OK, so I hear practice is going well and the boys are doing great. The season is quickly approaching and our first game is Sunday, April 10, 2011 (details to follow).

The coaches seem to be happy with the ways things are working out. We did have a few kids at the end of the year last year decided to end their Wildcats career early, that's OK, once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat and we wish them all well. BUT, we are very happy to welcome some new Wildcats and their families to our "Wildcat Family", because that is what it is. Yes, it is about baseball, but that is what brought us all together and we made it bigger and BETTER than baseball alone !! So, welcome to the new families - we are all looking forward to making new memories. Our past memories are wonderful and will never be taken away, but we can add new, fabulous ones !!! Bring it on Wildcats !!

Practice Today ......

Today, Sunday April 3, 2011, the Long Island WIldcats have practice at 11:00am at Carey High School. They will be scrimmaging the junior boys from Garden City South Little League. Should be fun. Nice weather, finally, and a little baseball makes for a great Sunday !!

Enjoy everybody and let's go Wildcats !!
