UNIFORMS

Uniforms will be delivered to your coaches this week. Your coach will let you know when they are delivering them to you before Opening Day. (Hats will all be the same, so it is suggested players write their number and/or name inside.)

GMLB TEAM STORE

We have an updated team store at the below link. While some of your favorites are there, there are many new items in the store as well. The store is open until Sunday, April 20, so get your orders in soon!

  • https://mantisgraphics.chipply.com/GLLS2025/?action=viewall
  • 3 GMLB Designs to choose from
  • Additions: polos, women’s clothing, crop tops, flannel pants, extra socks, and a shirt listing all teams on back.
  • Perfect for players, families, coaches, sponsors or fans alike.
  • The 2025 hat and a GMLB shirt you can personalize with name and number on the back will be added on Monday. (Wait until you get uniform to confirm sock color, jersey number, etc.)

CONCESSIONS/SNACK SHACK

We’re getting ready for an exciting baseball season, and we need your help! We are using SignUp.com to organize volunteer shifts for both the Snack Shack and bathroom cleaning.

Every player is asked to have a family member or guardian sign up for at least two shifts. There are separate time slots for concession stand help and bathroom cleaning—please choose the option that works best for you and your schedule. Sign-up is free through the link below. Sign up for a day your player is playing, or sign up on their off day; whatever works for your schedule.

The Snack Shack is a great way to support the league and connect with other families. KATELYN (or someone else) will be there each night to help open and close!

Bathroom cleaning may not be glamorous, but it’s a very important task to help keep our facilities fresh for everyone.

If you have any questions about the Snack Shack, email Katelyn at gmlbsecretary@gmail.com.

Thanks for volunteering your time and helping us make this season great for our players!
