Pampered Chef Fundraiser
EBSL Pampered Chef Fundraiser
EBSL is holding a Pampered Chef Fundraiser run by Sue Bieterman. Sue will be donating her commission from the fundraiser to EBSL.
Let's make this a successful fundraiser by sending to your family & friends. All orders are shipped directly to the guest.
Registration will open soon! Spring players - look for a discount code in your email soon!
We intentionally left the ages overlapping - you can decide to play your child at the same level as the Spring season, or at the next level.
Season runs from Mid-Sept through Mid-Oct, weekends only. One game per weekend planned, practice before game only. Multiple weekend games are possible if we have reschedules.
Teams will be formed by the League. Whenever possible, the League will try to assign multiple players from the same school to the same team so that the children can play with some of their classmates. Please note that this is not always perfect. One team, for example, might have 6 players from Jackson and 6 players from Visitation. And another team might have 3 players from Visitation and 9 players from Lincoln. There is no way to ensure your child will be on the same team as his/her best friend. Unfortunately, at all levels of play, requests for car pools or specific team/manager assignments cannot be honored. Siblings playing in the same level will always be on the same team. Each team will have one manager and one coach. These two coaches and their children will all be on the same team. Once teams are formed, managers can select additional coaches from their team's parents.
