| 2008/ 09 Cooperstown Teams |
| As we do each year, our 12 year old travel teams goes off for 1 week to play in All Star Village in Cooperstown NY, home of the Baseball Hall Of Fame. They play teams from as far as California in a beautiful setting. The children dorm and dine with the other teams, and make lasting friendships and memories. The parents have a great time as well! I have attached some photos of the players in action for your enjoyment. |
