PARENTS PARTICIPATION
While fall ball provides coaches an opportunity to preview talent in actual games prior to the 2016 season next spring, many parents of players also will be busy with -- and are planning right now -- both a Wolverine picnic and a separate fund-raising effort on the day.
FALL BALL COOKOUT CONTRIBUTIONS
Last year, the Hoffman family threw a surprise cookout for parents and players on the last game of the season.

FALL BALL FUND RAISING HELP
Besides the planned picnic “banquet”, parents also will be manning a small concession stand to raise funds for the Florida trek to The Spring Games next March 2016.
Players are being asked to contribute $10 in advance, which will be used to help stock the booth with items for sale, like chips, water, etc. Coach Greep also is working with a local fast food business for donations for the sale.
