for Life team is doing in conjunction with UNO Athletics!

should be made with the families involved. The event will
be held in the classroom at Confluence.

Lightning Baseball-Parents Meeting
Lightning Athletics is starting two homeschool baseball
teams. Based on the initial interest, there will be teams
established for a 12-13 year old team and a 7-9 year old
team. Both teams are for boys-there was not enough interest
for a girls team this year.
The teams are not limited to just Lightning families but
is open to all homeschool families who would like to have
their son play competitive baseball with Godly coaching
& instruction.
The team will be a competitive, playing in the single A
league. For those who do not know the leagues run from Majors,
AAA, AA, then A. A is the initial competitive level-above
the Little League.
A parent's meeting will be held on Tuesday Mar 18th 7PM,
at the Lightning home gym which is located at the Lighthouse
on the Hill Church, 4423 Bancroft St., Omaha.
Have your players bring their equipment (gloves, batting
helmets, cleats, bats, and any other equipment they already
have) for a safety and fit check following the meeting.
This will be the initiation of the program, our hope is
to start a program where we can build a strong group of
players to compete in the NE and IA areas.
If you have any question please contact Jim Fern at lightning.athletics.bellevue.ne
or bring your questions to the parents meeting the 18th.
Thanks for your support-now it's time to play ball!
