__________________________________________________________
The FTRL Lightning All-Stars exhibited their postseason
dominance over other metro area all-star teams, winning both of their tournament
championships!During the final weekend of July, the
Lightning won their 2nd straight All-Star Tournament, topping the field in the
8U Westfield Rocks All-Star Slug Fest in Westfield, IN. The Lightning went
4-1 in the tournament and beat the Hamilton Heights Husky All-Stars in the
Championship Game 12-11. The Huskies had beat the Lightning 8-0 earlier in
the day, so the victory was especially sweet for the players, coaches and
parents!
Two weeks earlier, the Lightning won the Lawrence Grand
Slam Tournament, defeating the Fishers-HSE Cats 15-0. The Lightning
finished that tournament with a 5-1 record and went 9-2 overall.
Congratulations to the Lightning
players and coaches on their success and for representing the FTRL!

Pets and Animals
- According
to Indiana Law, household pets are not permitted on the school grounds for
any reason. So please leave any and all pets at home and do not bring them
to the fields, as they are considered to be on school grounds. Ask any
friends or additional family members that would like to attend your child’s
game to please leave their pets at home. Anyone bringing a household pet to
the fields will be asked to remove it immediately.
Smoking
- Smoking
on school grounds is prohibited, so that means there is no smoking at the
fields as they are considered to be on school grounds. Anyone caught
smoking will be asked to extinguish it immediately and if it continues, they
will be asked to leave the facility.
Parking - Please
note that while we manage the facility for the Rookie League, the property
is still that of The Franklin Township School District and we must do our
best to respect their wishes when it pertains to parking. The School
District does not want anyone parking in the grass anywhere on the facility
and points to additional parking on the backside of the elementary school.
Also, there can no longer be any parking along the curbs out front through
the entrance of the school drive. This is for the safety of kids and
parents crossing from the parking lots to the fields and back. There is no
problem if people would like to drop off and pick up at the curb but we ask
that if the front parking lot is full, to please pull around to the backside
for additional parking.
If the situation continues, cars parked in these areas may be ticketed
and/or towed by local law enforcement. So we ask that all please adhere to
this policy.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact
the league through our website.
Thank you,
FTRL Board of Directors
