Franklin Township

Due to conflicts this week with school functions and football signups, we have decided to cancel the weekday Minor games for this week. The games will be rescheduled for Wednesday June 6th at 6:30pm. During that week you will have a regularly scheduled game on Tuesday June 5th followed by the makeup game on June 6th. Sorry for all the confusion, but we wanted to make sure that each team had enough players to play.

We want to get the word out to sell your raffle tickets. We are going to have a pizza party for the team that sells the most tickets. The winning team from the Majors, Minors and T-ball will have a pizza party at Incredible Pizza Company. Each winning team will receive a $10 play card and free buffet for each player and 3 free coach buffets. Turn in your tickets and money at the concession stand. You can also pick up more tickets and buy $10 Incredible Pizza Gift cards in the concession stand as well.

Picture days will be Saturday May 5th and 12th.  The league is providing a memory mate for each player in the league. There will be a booth setup for any parent that would like to purchase extra pictures.

Pets and Animals - According to Indiana Law, household pets are not permitted on the school grounds for any reason.  So please leave 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.
