What a way to kick off the ALLBB season! Opening Day this past Saturday was a huge success, with sunshine, great baseball, and a warm community atmosphere from start to finish. Families, players, and coaches came together to celebrate the start of another exciting season of youth baseball in Berlin.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather. With clear skies and spring warmth, it was the perfect setting for baseball. The day started with a memorable opening ceremony that set the tone. Kenny Norgren brought energy to the field with a powerful electric guitar rendition of the U.S. national anthem, followed by a heartfelt and beautifully sung German anthem by George Friedrich Takis. Longtime heart of the league Gregg Norgren had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to get things started.

 

 

 

 

The action on the field didn’t disappoint. All six of our league teams hit the diamond throughout the day, competing in three exciting games that kept fans on their feet. From big hits to great defensive plays, it was clear that the players were ready to go after a long off-season.

Thanks to all the families who came out to support the players and helped make the day special. Whether you were cheering from the bleachers, volunteering at the field, or just soaking in the sun with a coffee in hand, your presence made a difference.

If your child is still interested in joining, it’s not too late! Our Toss Ball league (ages 6–7) and Minor Leagues (ages 8–12) are still accepting players of all skill levels. Come join the fun — we’d love to see you on the field!

After the season is before the season! Today we had a wonderful final day of the 2024 ALLBB season at the field in Berlin-Zehlendorf — we want to thank all the parents, volunteers, coaches, and especially the kids for making the first post-covid and field rebuild season a spectacular success and we look forward to seeing many of you again next year!

 

Dear Baseball Parents,

The first game days of the All Baseball Funleague are behind us…

It’s great to see the excitement and joy with which our children received their jerseys on opening day and the pride with which they wear them in the game. It’s great to see from week to week how – especially with the T-ballers – their understanding of the game is growing and how much fun our children are having in training and at matches.

Soon the season will be over and the question will arise as to what to do next…

The current board of the All Baseball Funleague will step down at the end of the season, as our children have now grown out of the ALLBB age groups and it is time to pass on the baton.

This means that if the All Baseball Funleague is to continue to exist, we need committed parents like you to take up our positions on the board and continue to rebuild it. With the numerous children, a good basis has been laid for this…

We are looking for parents for the following positions:

• President (including committee appointments at SC JFKS, coordination of the Board, …)
• Vice-President (including support for the President)
• Secretary (including correspondence and minute-taking, external inquiries)
• Registrar (e.g. registration, reminders)
• Treasurer
• Volunteer Coordinator (including organizing the concession stand and the necessary volunteers)
• Coach Coordinator (e.g. organization of coaches)
• Umpire Coordinator (e.g. organization of the umpires)
• Equipment Manager (e.g. equipment procurement and issue)
• Field Manager (maintenance of the field)
• PR and Website

If you are interested, please talk to us at the next game day and/or send an email to the commissioner. We will tell you in more detail what you can expect from us. We would like the new board to form itself on July 6th, the lsat day of the season!

Best regards,

the board of the All Baseball Funleague
