Opening Day is almost here and we're excited to kick-off another great season! We will continue our long-standing tradition and parade to McEver Field from the Davidson Town Green for our opening day ceremony.
All T-ball (5/6), Rookies (7/8) and Minors (9/10) players are invited to participate and should dress in uniforms.
Please see details below:
Opening Day - Saturday, March23
- 8:15am: Players, parents and coaches meet at Davidson Town Green
- 8:45am: Parade to McEver Field (located 626 South Street - Davidson)
- 8:55am: Teams line up in outfield of McEver (middle) Field
- 9:00am: Opening day ceremony
- 10:00am: Ceremony concludes
Parents are welcome to leave kids with coaches at the Town Green and drive down to McEver or walk in the parade with their team.
We will start with the announcement of the Robert T. Wylie Sportsmanship Award, then we'll sing the national anthem and we'll have the first pitch by Mayor Rusty Knox.
Each player will then be announced to the roar of the crowd (please cheer!) as they run from 3rd to home.
T-ball teams will be announced, followed by Rookies then Minors. We'll wrap up with a all out sing-a-long to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," so get your pipes ready!
ALL PLAYERS WILL REMAIN ON THE FIELD FOR THE ENTIRE CEREMONY.
Rain Plan:
Looks like it will be a beautiful day on Saturday but if we need to cancel due to weather, DYBA will make a decision by 8am that morning and communicate via email.
Thanks again for your support of DYBA!
