Used Equipment Drive

Don't forget to bring your used equipment to Opening Day, so that Ryan Hoffman, Campolindo Baseball Team freshman (and MBA player for 8 years) can continue the tradition started by his brother, Michael. That tradition is helping kids in neighboring communities get a chance to play the greatest game with proper equipment. Ryan is also happy to have donations land on the front porch of his home between now and March 6th.

RAINY DAY INFO
As a reminder, the MBA home page is to the place to check to see if the fields are open
at Joaquin Moraga and Camino Pablo Schools.
Just in case you don't have it,
the Moraga School District Rainy Day Hotline is 925-377-4110.

We check the MSD Rainy Day Hotline every day and post whether the fields are open or closed on the MBA home page. We'll also note here whether practices can be held on the blacktop if the fields are otherwise closed. Under no circumstances are MBA coaches or parents to hold practices on the fields or blacktops if they have been closed by MSD. Failure to abide by this policy will result in monetary fines to MBA and result in the revocation of the ability to use MSD fields which will not only affect those who violated the policy but also those who did not.
