Hello Branford Little League Families and Friends! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you who may not know me. My name is Tricia Lougal and I was recently nominated and voted in as President of Branford Little League. I feel truly grateful and am very excited to be part of such an amazing community with so many people who are willing to give back to our kids.
As we all know, the numbers for Youth Baseball across America and even in our own district have been slowly dwindling, yet our league continues to thrive and move forward, even during a pandemic. This is a direct result of the amount of dedication and effort being put forth by our coaches, volunteers and board members. This is a very exciting time for our league with everything we have planned and going on. To date, BLL includes but is not limited to our Little League Season, our Branford Junior Hornets Travel Program, a new score board, clinics and trainings as well as the prospect of BLL sending a team to compete in Cooperstown next summer! Let's Go Branford!
As I can relate to everyone's very busy schedules, I want to assure everyone as your new BLL President that myself as well as our BLL board members, that YOUR children are OUR first priority. The goal of Little League is to provide and create a fun, safe, competitive and memorable experience for our kids, while also putting an emphasis on fundamentals, participation, development and teamwork.
As a mother of three children all involved in the BLL community, I can truly appreciate the thrill of seeing your child play baseball for the first time, as well as watching them grow and develop throughout the years. Our board will be constantly working to improve our league and to make it the best we can for the kids in our community.
As a new president with some returning, some new and some still vacant positions on the board, one of our goals as a board is to ensure open communication. Moving forward, we will be looking to continue to improve our league in all ways possible. I am available and open to ideas. We will be looking for fundraising ideas, sponsorships, donations and volunteers. We plan to re-open our concession stand and also begin selling BLL apparel to support our league. All money raised will be put directly back into our program, fields, kids and community. Please look for BLL on Facebook as well as Instagram.
Sincerely,
Tricia Lougal
