Northern
Cal Ripken is happy to announce that we are
partnering with Champions Sports in order to
help develop the best baseball and softball
players in the city! In addition to hosting
try-outs for Rookie and Major baseball,
Champions has agreed to work with NCR in a
variety of ways. Champions has already
offered discounted camps for NCR players,
and more opportunities are on the way!
Champions offers a number of
services for your players:
Feel
free
to check them out. Every year more and more
NCR players are heading out to the
Champions, and it is starting to show.
Baseball and Softball have become a year
round sport, and Champions is helping our
players keep in playing shape every day of
the year.

Concessions Help
Needed!
One
of the biggest
services that we
offer at NCR is
also one of the
hardest to
maintain. The
concession stand
is open every
game day
serving food and
team drinks to
our NCR family.
While we enjoy
being
able to offer
this service to
everyone, it is
very tough on
our
concessions
coordinator to
keep it running
smoothly. We
usually have
games Mondays
through
Saturdays, and
when we start
having makeups
for
rain outs, we
have games on
Sunday, too.
This means our
concessions
coordinator is
up here every
day of the week
from April
through June.
We are looking
to help ease
that burden this
year.
If
you are looking
for a way to
help out the
park this year,
then this
could be a way
for you to step
up. We are
looking to find
a few
concession
assistants to
help run the
concession
stand. The
concession
coordinator
would still be
there to help
open the
concession stand
and help get
everything
ready. The
assistant would
then take over
and run the
concession stand
for the
coordinator. We
hope to have a
few people take
a regular night
during the week
and/or
a regular shift
on the weekend.
If we get enough
people to step
up,
this would be a
great help and
service to the
park and our
kids.
If
you either know you
can help out or want
more information
before
making a commitment,
then please contact
Tracy
Hobbs
at thobbs@northerncalripken.com
Thank
you for all that
you do for our
park. NCR has a
great family who
loves its kids
and loves it
park. This is a
way for you to
help make
it even better.
While the
concession stand
can be a bit
hectic at
times, it is
absolutely worth
it when you see
all the kids run
to the
window for a
team drink!

We did not raise prices this
year! Since everyone pitched
in and did their fund raising
last year, we are able to keep
the prices the same! Thanks to
everyone that pitched in!
Let's do it again this year!
CALLING ALL COACHES!!!!
It is time to
start thing about finding
the coaches that will lead
our teams next spring. The
past few years we
have had our teams go
farther and farther into
the post season, and one
of the reasons is
that the coaching in our
league has been getting
better on every level! We
are hoping to keep
that trend going for the
2012 season. If you are
interested in being a
coach at any of our
levels, there are a couple
of things you need to do.
First, please contact the
appropriate coordinator
and let them know of your
interest.
T-Ball (4 - 6) : Randy
Johnson :
rjohnson@northerncalripken.com
Rookie (7 - 8) : Rodney
Goodwin :
rgoodwin@northerncalripken.com
Minor (9 - 12) : William
Mack : wmack@northerncalripken.com
Major (9 - 12) : Brock
Powell : bpowell@northerncalripken.com
One of
the areas we really want
to concentrate on are
Minor league coaches.
Every year we have to
wait until after the
Major league draft to
see if we can get the
coaches lined up. This
year we are asking to
see if there is anyone
out there that knows
they want to coach a
Minor league team.
In order to make sure our
coaches have a good
foundation of baseball
knowledge, every coach is
required to pass a Cal
Ripken coaching
certification test. This
test may be found at the
following :
http://www.ripkencoaching.org/
The certification costs
between $20 - $25, but it
is good for your entire
coaching career in a Cal
Ripken / Babe Ruth park.
YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT A
COPY OF YOUR CERTIFICATION
WITH YOUR APPLICATION.
Once you have decided you
want to try to be a coach,
we need to get an
application form from you.
This form has the obvious
necessary contact
information, but it also
asks you for some private
information so we can
perform a background check
on every applicant. THIS
IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. You
will not be allowed to
coach a team, whether as
the head coach or an
assistant, if you do not
fill out this form.
Please fill out this form
and return it to Ronnie
Perry
1084 E. New Circle Road
Suite 300
Lexington, KY 40505
If you prefer to scan it
an email it to Ronnie,
please send it to
rperry@northerncalripken.com
Major, Minor, and Rookie
coaching applications are
due by December 9th.
Please do not delay and
get it in as soon as
possible. Coaches
interviews will be set up
the weekend of December
10th or 17th. You will be
called with your interview
time as we get closer to
the weekend.
T-Ball coaches will be
decided after the
beginning of the year.
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR
APPLICATION TURNED IN
BEFORE YOU WILL BE GIVEN
AN INTERVIEW! We
take the background check
VERY SERIOUSLY!
Please note that the form
also outlines the fund
raising responsibility
that every coach is going
to assume if given a team.
Sponsorship
Forms Online
Coaches : Go to the Coaches Corner
link on the left to download the
sponsorship form, or you can get
it here.
Sponsorships are due by May 15th.
If your sponsorship is not turned
in by that time, you will not be
allowed to coach your team until
you have fulfilled your
obligation. Let's get these in
ASAP so we don't have to worry
about it. Please contact Shannon
Penegor if you have any questions
or need to turn in your
sponsorship!
Attention
all Coaches, Assistant
Coaches,
and Team Moms!
Before the season begins, you
MUST fill out the Youth Leader
Request Form! You can
right click on the link and save
the file to your computer.
Please print off this form and
give it to your league
coordinator as soon as possible.
If this form is not completed by
the first game, you will not be
allowed to continue in your
current role.
Please only fill out the top
half of the form. The bottom
half needs to be filled out by a
Northern Cal Ripken official.
Also, ALL coaches and assistant
coaches must complete the certification
designated by Cal Ripken / Babe
Ruth baseball. This process must
be completed by the first game.
If it is not completed, then you
will not allow to be a coach for
the team until the certification
has been completed. The
certification is a 3 year
certification. Please see the
Coaches Corner for the link.
Please pass all forms on
to the head coach or to the league
Vice-President ,Ronnie Perry. Ronnie
can be reached at the following
