As we prepare for our upcoming season, we are excited to invite local vendors and food trucks to partner with us at our games and events. By setting up at our events, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your products to our community while also supporting a great cause.

To help us raise funds for our operations, we are asking vendors and food trucks to contribute a small percentage of their sales. This contribution will directly support our programs, equipment, and facilities, allowing us to continue providing a positive and enriching environment for our players.

If you’re interested in joining us or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are eager to work with you and believe this partnership will be mutually beneficial.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the Big Country Soccer Association. We look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM>>> https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSetp6f4w4A…/viewform…

PARENTS & COACHES

PLEASE NOTE:

Request for roster changes are not guaranteed. Once you have received your initial response about the decision, do not continue to appeal the decision unless you feel as though it is a true error. If you register late or skipped a season, it will be very difficult to move these rosters around. There are multiple people involved who have volunteered their time into getting this done for everyone! When we get multiple requests about changes it slows us all down and takes the focus off of whats priority right now!

EASTERN LITTLE LEAGUE NIGHT WITH THE Abilene Flying Bison

Thank you to all who were able to make it out to the game last night. We were able to get some pictures of players during the night. We had players that represented 5 of our age divisions. Some of players got to participate in two in between inning games, get some autographs, and they got to have fun at the ballpark which it’s ultimately all about. On top of that they got to see two long bombs

hit and saw the home team get a “W” over the Sherman Shadowcats to improve to 24-9 in the Mid America League.

Thank you to the Abilene Flying Bison organization for having us over last night. It was a great atmosphere and we look forward to doing it again next year. From all of us at Eastern Little League, good luck to you all on the rest of your season, GO BISON!!!

Parents if you have any pics you took and want them included in this post, please send us a private message and we will get them added. Thank you once again to all that were able to make it out!!!

Developing a successful youth football player requires a holistic approach that involves experienced coaches, dedication from both the player and the support system around them, and an organization that provides stability and has a history of nurturing talent.

With the Bucs, the proof is in the pudding

Experienced coaches can provide the necessary guidance, training, and mentorship to help young players grow and improve their skills. Dedication from the player is crucial, as consistent practice and a strong work ethic are essential for development.

Our Bucs organization has a stable environment and a history of success which can provide the necessary infrastructure and support for young players to thrive.

Abilene Tennis Association–

Dear Friends:

We are gearing up for several tennis tournaments that will be hosted in Abilene in 2024 by the ATA. With your sponsorship we can make this a successful year for many young tennis players in the Abilene Community.

We awarded numerous scholarships to our schools, thanks to our generous sponsors. We also were able to safely host many of our tennis tournaments by implementing proper safety procedures enforced by USTA. These tournaments have such an important impact on our community’s economics.

With Sponsors such as you, it helps us to continue hosting these great events. This last year we also hosted an Adult Sectional Tournament and a L5 Adult Tournament. We had two different league teams qualify for the National Tournament. ATA gives each team $1,000 to help with travel expenses.

Your Sponsorship also helps us to continue to grant college scholarships and fund equipment to AISD and WISD and the

surrounding area schools tennis programs. It also is a huge contributor to our ATA junior tennis banquets in which it covers over 600 players and parents. Last year we helped each High School host their own tennis banquet with their middle schools. These 3 separate banquets were a huge success.

Please see the sponsorship opportunities for this year’s ATA Fundraising. Your donation will enable ATA to continue to give to the community for programming for youth and adult tennis to enhance the programming and grow the game of tennis We hope that you will consider a sponsorship for this wonderful cause.

Coaches and parents.

We have decided to make the decision to push the spring season back by 1 week due to coaches needing to complete background checks and safesport so that we can release contact sheets and rosters to them. The background checks are taking longer to come back this season than expected. We will now start the season on 3/2/24 and not this weekend to give those teams that are waiting on coaches to get started. With us using that weekend which was built in as a weather make up weekend if we have a weekend of weather cancellation we will make those up the second weekend of May. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate the patience while we work around all the request we have had from coaches. We now plan on having the schedule out later this so we can make the changes that are needed. Have a great weekend and we can’t wait to see you on the pitch.
