A Simple Reminder for Parents on the Sidelines

Swinging + Catching + Throwing = Feelings

After every swing, catch, or throw, a young athlete looks to the stands. What they see and feel in that moment stays with them far longer than the outcome of the play.  This short piece highlights how sideline behavior shapes a child’s confidence, experience, and long-term relationship with the game.

We encourage all of our District 33 families to take a moment to read it, please click on the photo or the link: www.trustworthyguidance.com

2026 District Awards Dinner Re-Cap

Our annual District Awards Dinner was held on May 2nd at the Riverwalk Golf Course. Our theme for this year was "Disco" and many dressed the part. A special "thank you" goes out to Angela Engquist, D33 Event Coordinator for putting together another outstanding and memorable event.



The majority of our league board members were in attendance. We believe that everyone had a good time sharing stories and getting away from the baseball field for the evening. The Riverwalk Golf Course catering department provided a delicious buffet dinner for everyone to enjoy. 

A costume contest was held during the night's festivities, and 10 contestants were judged with applause from the crowd. Congratulations to Ron Ficalora (La Mesa National LL), Damian Scribner (Mission Trails LL) and Eric Kovacs (Tierrasanta LL) for dressing up in our Disco theme and taking home a $50 dollar gift card.

Gifts cards were donated by leagues and were raffled off to lucky ticket holders and a 50/50 draw for $280.00 was handed out to one lucky winner. Congratulations to Jessica Vargas (Rolando LL) for having the winning ticket and taking the cold hard cash from Ron Ficalora.
