Commissioner's Message
March 16, 2013 11:58 AM
It’s time for baseball at Carrollton Boosters! With the weather turning warmer and Mardi Gras behind us; that’s the signal for games of catch, new
bats, and fun trips to the ballpark. It is our goal at Carrollton Boosters to provide a complete experience for your children this summer. As such,
we will offer the following leagues:
4 Year Old Tee Ball – The focus here is on fun and fundamentals. For many this is their first experience with baseball and this league offers a low
pressure, recreational league. The kids get just as excited about “team drinks” as a great hit.
5/6 Baseball – Played with a soft but realistic “Incrediball”, the players are further developed and encouraged to make the appropriate “play” on
the baseball. Coaches will pitch and augment with a tee, as appropriate. Un-scored games mean low pressure and lots of involvement for
everyone.
7/8 Baseball – This is our first competitive league. Competitive does not mean exclusive though and boys of all abilities play a significant role on
their teams. Coaches pitch and there is lots of action. Playoffs and a move to the big fields create lots of excitement each year. In this league
alone we expect 20 teams and 240 players!
9/10 Baseball – Kids pitching and a true youth baseball experience. We expect a large league and competitive games. Coaches develop players
here more than in any league, and the campaign for the championship is as competitive as any.
11/12 Baseball – Bigger, faster, and stronger than 9/10s, we maintain a competitive league while still focusing on an inclusive recreational
experience.
13-15 Baseball – Formerly referred to as 54/80 (54 foot pitching distance and 80 foot bases), our “senior” league gets a HUGE boost this year with
the opening of the newly renovated Avenger field. This high school sized field boasts turf and brand new facilities that allow this league to move to
Audubon.
Most leagues (with the exception of 13-15 that starts a bit later) start with team selection in April. The season concludes early-mid July.
I am very excited and proud to be the Carrollton Boosters’ Commissioner of Baseball. I have some large shoes to fill in replacing Norman Mott who
has been a leader and advocate for this program for many years. Under his leadership this program has grown significantly in participation,
sportsmanship, and quality. The program and I are indebted to his service. We run one of the largest and most organized programs in the state in
large part due to volunteers. Our all-volunteer board, commissioners, coordinators, coaches, and parents are second to none. A personal note - As
my son entered Boosters at 4, I had little experience with the program. Admittedly, I was intimidated to volunteer or coach and it took me awhile
to get acclimated. Once I saw the true family atmosphere and spirit of volunteerism, I was hooked. I encourage EACH of you – GET INVOLVED.
Here’s how:
· Coach your child’s team – when you register, sign up as a coach. Yes, it’s work; but it is rewarding. Remember, when you are the head
coach YOU decide when practices will be☺
· Sponsor your child’s team – You select the team’s name and colors and help the program at the same time. You can do this with
registration.
· Offer to help – This all exists due to volunteers. We need help with grading and coaches can always use willing assistants.
I offer one final thought – beyond the winners and loser, beyond the practices and games there is the experience between parents and children
sharing a game and a unique time together. Carrollton Boosters strives to make that experience the best it can be.
Play ball!

Passing the baton
March 15, 2013 03:11 PM
2013 marks the 26th year my 4 children, my long suffering better half and I have been involved in this wonderful club we call Carrollton Boosters. After serving 9 years as the Commissioner of Baseball, its time to turn over the enormous job and responsibility to another Boosters Board Member, Jeremy Mancheski. I do so with a great bit of relief, and will welcome an opportunity to step back and enjoy coaching and watching games without that “other duty.” As Commissioner of Baseball, Jeremy will provide exceptional leadership for our program. He has already gathered a talented group of league coordinators for the 2013 baseball program.
In the last 9 years we have seen positive changes. We survived Katrina. Through our cooperative venture with Audubon Institute we have added an incredible facility at Audubon, and this year, another at Avenger. We continue to maintain Cuccia-Byrnes. We have broadened our commitment to provide every child the opportunity to be placed on a team, and to participate fully on a team including batting without substitutions and fielding at least every other inning. We provide scholarships to players with financial need. We have grown to the point that we draw players and families from throughout the greater New Orleans area. Last summer, our baseball program had its highest number of participants ever. We have a vibrant organization that has experienced incredible success over the years. 2013 marks our 70th anniversary.
None of this would be possible without our volunteers who have generously donated their time. Our success has been a direct result of volunteers dedicated to the principles of sportsmanship and cooperation, in a more than mildly competitive environment. We are confident that success will continue.

9yo select team wins tourney
February 28, 2013 08:19 AM
The Carrollton 9 yo Select team won its first Tournament of the year by taking the recent Audubon Classic played at Cleary Playground. After struggling in its two Saturday games, Carrollton was seeded 12th in the 14-team Tournament. However, wins on Sunday against the 5-seed, 4-seed and 1-seed put Carrollton into the finals. Carrollton was awarded the Tournament championship when the other finalist forfeited because of lack of pitchers to play a fourth game of the day. Coaches of Carrollton (from L-R) are: Gerald Duhon, Evan Duhon, Ken Milvid, Chris Moore, Roger May and Cooper Manning.
