Where are practices & games: Most practices and games will be held at the Greenwood Community Center. There are times that we do go to other fields to play scrimmages & games. Greenwood does interlock with other Leagues such as Lane, Fluvanna, Greene, Orange, Spotsylvania and a few other leagues so occasional travel is more than likely. We do try to schedule away games on the weekends.

Evaluations:  Greenwood evaluations are held after Western has established their teams. Evaluations will be held at Henley Middle School, Saturday, Feb 24th (Date subject to change)  Please plan on being there by 8:45 to get warmed up so we can get started at 9am sharp.

Bring all your gear with you

We are aware that a lot of players do try out for their high school teams and take that into consideration when scheduling games/practices. While we cannot accommodate all schedule conflicts we do try our best to work around the high schools schedules.

When is the Draft: The draft will be held  the Sunday, Feb 25th (Date subject to change)  Players do not need to attend. Time to be announced.

When will a coach contact me to let me know what team my child is on: The head coach will contact you during the first few days in March . If you have not received a call after that date, please email Paul Anish and he can let you know what team your child is on.   

When will practice start:  Practice will more than likely start the second weekend of March. The practice schedule will be determined by the number of teams we will have in 2024.

What time will practice start: The head coach determines practice time. During the first few weeks practices will more than likely be on the weekends only due to school schedules and the limited number of day light hours. Week day practices will be determined by the head coaches and they may ask to start practice at 5:30 due to darkness during the week days. Most coaches will start weekday practices at 5:30 or 6:00

When will games start: Games for our Babe Ruth league normally starts after Peachtree’s opening day. Typically, Greenwoods season opens the first weekend of April, we will watch for Albemarle County’s Spring Break-Opening Day will be announced later in March. At the beginning of the season games will mainly be on the weekends, Saturdays & or Sundays, due to darkness. Once it starts staying lighter later, games will be weeknights & weekends.
