Good Afternoon SCR Players, Coaches, Family and Friends,

We hope you all are doing well and know you are missing baseball like all of us!  We wanted to make you aware of an exclusive SCR opportunity courtesy of our valued partners at Rijo Athletics.  Rijo Athletics AZ facility is NOW OPEN and would like to offer their Complimentary Skills Evaluation to all SCR Players.  It’s a great time to put in the work and get ready for the Fall 2020 season!

In addition to making everyone aware of the complimentary skills evaluation, we would like to personally thank Rijo Athletics for their time and dedication to Scottsdale Cal Ripken. The spring break clinics Rijo Athletics offered to SCR players were a fun and rewarding experience for all players who participated and the Zoom meetings had maximum participant capacity with great baseball fundamentals, tips, drills and positive messages for everyone who participated.   Thank you Rijo Athletics!

Details of Rijo Athletics skills evaluation is listed below as well as a great highlight video of their services offered.  Registration for SCR Fall ball will be opening soon and we cannot wait to see everyone on the field!

Have a great summer and thank you!

SCR's weather policy can be viewed online or by clicking here.  As it relates to lightning, we suggest using the WeatherBug App as they have a feature called Spark which shows the current lightning activity in the area. As a rule of thumb, if lighting is within a 10-mile radius you should suspend play/practice and take shelter.  Typically, you should wait at least 30 minutes after the last lightning flash or sound of thunder -- or wait until the nearest lightning strike is 10-miles or more away -- prior to resuming activity.

Parents, please be in touch with your coaches. Coaches, please be in touch with your division's commissioner and the league will notify the coaches of any delays or closures but sometimes you will have to make a judgement call on when to play and when to seek shelter.  Thanks!
