Dear members of the ALLBB family,

We the board wish you and your families a happy New Year and hope you will have a great start in 2020!

Another year has passed another season has passed. The 2019 season has been characterized by great weather and exciting games. It was a pleasure to see our kids play, compete and enjoying the days at the ballpark. I hope you enjoyed these days as we did and will participate again in 2020.

We want to invite you to our annual General Membership Meeting (GMM) of the ALLBB division of the SC-JFKS:

Where: at the JFK school in the film room (GR117)

When: at 6:30 p.m. on January 21st. 2020.

This invitation is valid for all current ALLBB members. All registered and paid members, for the 2020 regular season, shall be eligible to vote if they have turned 16 years of age by the date of the meeting. The legal guardian(s) vote for the youth that have not reached their sixteenth birthday. Voting shall only be done in person.

Many of the current members of the board are standing for reelection. However, we need to elect board members for all positions and some are open. We would appreciate it if as many of our members as possible could attend and vote as we need to have the members engaged with the board in the management of our baseball league. If you are interested in being a member of the board, cash auditor or willing to help in any other way please let me know.

Florian Schlehofer

President of the board

While elsewhere Christmas mood slowly sets in, the ALLBB team is preparing intensively for the new season 2020/21: When will the season start with the Clean up Day at Sachtlebenstraße? Who will be attending the Opening Ceremony? With which teams will T-Ballers, Minor- and Little Leaguer or Juniors compete? Anyway, what can be done to make the upcoming ALLBB season even better?

Much will be clarified in the next few weeks, but one thing is already becoming apparent: it will certainly be another great season for the kids, the familys and the many volunteers who make it possible at all.

If you still want to register as a player, you can download the documents here: Registration-form-2020_Rev_012DPU

ALLBB is also always looking for coaches and volunteers who want to accompany the season with commitment and passion: ALLBB Volunteer Form 2019-2020_Rev_00

By the way, the season 2020/21 will be soon fixed and published on the website shortly.

Winter training is coming up! For those players registered in the LL/JR age groups the first practice is planned for Thursday, October 24 from 17:30 to 19:00 in the JFK old gym. For those registered in the TB/ML age groups the first practice is planned for this Friday, October 25 from 18:00 to 19:30. Please remember to bring shoes suitable for the indoor gym and don’t forget a glove.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to reg@allbb.de.

The winter training of the ALLBB is expected to start at the end of October. More information will be provided soon.

If you are interested in the ALLBB or the RAMS-Team, come to the JFKS 2019 Information Fair! The Kennedy School will be holding the Information Fair on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, from 19:00 – 20:30 hrs in the Aula (auditorium). The Fair is not only open to JFK members, but to all interested students and their parents.

The Baseball Division of the JKF Sport Club will be there as well. Stop by! We are happy to answer your questions. Of if you have already decided to join us in the next season, we will of course be glad to help you with the registration.

Date: Wednesday, 4/9/2019, 7 – 8.30 p.m.

Place: Aula (auditiorium) at John F. Kennedy School, Teltower Damm 87-93, 14167 Berlin.

We are looking forward to see a lot of baseball junkies at our stand! See you there!

This year’s ALLBB baseball season has come to an end far too quickly. On Saturday, June 22nd, the last matches took place in Sachtlebenstraße, the last team snacks were eaten, the barbecue was heated and of course the Snack Shack was plundered for the last time. We will miss this intensive training and playing time!

Our conclusion of the season: All 16 teams in the T-Ball, Minor and Little League have developed great and learned a lot over the summer. The games on Saturday were – no question – fought hard for every inning, but the fun was always in the first place. With the exception of the day of the Opening Ceremony, the weather god was kind to us. We really had mostly sunny and dry weather. Surely this contributed once more to the fact that also the families and the spectators could really enjoy the Saturday: Best baseball weather, great atmosphere, lots of baseball flair and German-American atmosphere in Sachtlebenstraße. It’s no wonder that on the last day, melancholy came up here and there on the pitch and on the sidelines.

But after the season is before the season that starts in April 2020. If you would like to register, you can find the registration form here: Registration-form-2020_Rev_012DPU. All players who register for the coming summer season can also register for the winter training starting in October: WBL Combined 2019_2020_Rev_01. Also very important: ALLBB is always looking for volunteers to provide administrative or on-site support on the pitch: ALLBB Volunteer Form 2019-2020_Rev_00.

The ALLBB Board is always available for questions or suggestions: info@allbb.de.

We would like to thank all the players, their families, the many volunteers who made this season possible, as well as all those interested in baseball. We wish you a wonderful summer time, relaxing holidays and look forward to seeing you again in autumn or April 2020!

Play ball!

With ALLBB winding down on 2019, we want to wish our players that also play in the BSVBB league a great season. We have players from the Eagles, Challengers, Wizards, Sluggers, Road Runners and of course our SC JFKS Rams. Finally a special congratulations to Johann O’Brien and Kyran Norgren for being selected to the 2019 Under12 German National team. They will be playing in Czech Republic for the European Championships in early July! Good luck – we are very proud to have you also in ALLBB!

Where can I find field A? Who is our Umpire this matchday? Or when will the Minor League teams start playing? And when does my shift in the Snack Shack start? Ask us! The ALLBB Board usually takes care of all matters of the club in the background. But since last week the members of the boards are also recognizable by their blue T-shirts on match days and are always happy to help.

Next Saturday, May 11th, the remaining photo shootings of the teams Padres, Twins and Giants will take place. There will also be two replacement photo slots for players who were unable to make it to the 4 May date. But only portraits will be taken here, no team photos!
