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

Dear players, dear Parents, dear Friends,

on Saturday, June 1st, 2024, ALLBB ALL Baseball Berlin, returned after a four year hiatus! Opening day was wonderful — we had volunteers come at 7 am to prepare the field and the concession stand, uniforms were then handed out to the T-Ballers and the Minor/Major leaguers. The concession stand menu boasted hotdogs and even chili-cheese dogs along with sweets and soda pop. It was a wonderful sight to see, and many of the board members became a bit teary-eyed.

At 10:45 am the ALLBB commissioner, Florian Schlehofer, opened the season with a speech thanking everyone for the hard work that had gone into making this day possible. And at 11 am, the first ball of the season was hit off the Tee in the Red Sox vs. the Reds. After the tee-ballers had played, the Minor/Major League kids came onto the field to warm up and soon thereafter, the second game of the season commenced.

The ALLBB Board wants to thank all the parents, kids, friends and volunteers for making this day possible and we look forward to next Saturday, when the kids have their second day of the season!

Dear parents, dear kids, dear volunteers,

the first practice was held – the season is officially underway! Here is an overview of the ALLBB schedule for the coming weeks:

Practices
There are two practice slots for tee-ball. One team will practice Mondays from 16:30-18:00, and the other team on Thursdays from 16:30-18:00.

At this time, we are planning to combine our Minor and Major Leagues into one practice slot. Training will be on Thursdays from 18:00-19:30. Even though we practice together, we will divide into two teams on Saturdays and play a game.

Opening Day, June 1st:
07:00 AM Meeting at the field for the volunteers
⁠09:00 AM Arriving of TBall kids and parents, handing out of the uniforms
⁠⁠10:45 AM Opening words from the board  and ALLBB commissioner
11:00 – 12:00 AM ⁠TB game and arrival of ML kids and parents, handing out uniforms to ML kids
12:30 PM ML game (max. 1.5 hours)
14:00 PM End of the game day
⁠14:15 PM Volunteer clean up

On those days, the T-Ball game will begin at 10:00 AM and the ML game will begin at 11:30 AM.

Please come by to support the teams, kids and baseball!

Best wishes, the ALLBB Board
