The Villages Florida
Hi Guys, I am coming down to my home in The Villages in April again (have renters there now)

Anything going on in April for softball, open hitting?

Last Year, 2015, Saddlebrook and Buffalo were getting re-worked in April and Soaring Eagle was the only complex with open hitting?

Also last year there were no tryout evaluations in April? Same this year???

Thanks please let me know any news, would like to get some swings in before heading back to Ohio for tournament season.

Hi Bud:

I will be down the week of the 11th for two weeks.

Thanks for the offer to work out. I'm just looking right now at the "open hitting schedule" at any of the complexes? I think they were doing Sunday Mornings and one day during the week.

Last year when I was down in April they were using Soaring Eagle Complex on Morse Road for hitting?

Any ideas when/where ???

See you over next two weeks. I want to get some swings and stuff in before we start our summer SSUSA Tournament schedule back up at the Brickyard in Indianapolis April 30th.

THANKS

Hi Gary- The fields will close after the 16th. There are tournaments finishing up on the 13th and 15th in the morning at Buffalo Glen. I will be there both days if you want to hit after the games. I think that the other fields should be available every afternoon since most of the lower divisions have finished their seasons. See you next week. Bud

Gary- I will be heading down to the Villages from Boston to visit Mom on 4/14 evening thru 4/19 am. I am in same boat as you looking for some BP while down there before starting league play and heading to Atlantic Coast Championships in May. My kids arent particularly excited about throwing BP to their Dad when its the first real nice weather they've seen in awhile. Last year I watched the Div. 1 Championships on a Friday and then took BP later that afternoon when everyone cleared out. I think field was Saddlebrook. I would be interested in hitting with you on that Friday 4/15, if interested.
