41st Annual Mal Walton Junior Varsity Baseball Tournament - 2023
Lynden High School Parent/Player Helper Sign-up
Since 1981 the Lynden High School Baseball Program has hosted the Mal Walton Junior Varsity Baseball Tournament, a season ending tournament for freshmen and sophomore baseball players from local high schools. Go to http://www.lyndenbaseball.com/page19 to read about the history of this great tournament. Lynden High School has hosted this tournament each year. One thing that is needed each year is parent helpers to help us run this great tournament. The coaching staff and players take care of all the field work. Where we need your help is running the concession stand and taking tickets at the gate.
I would love to have at least 2 parents in the concession stand during the entire tournament and at least one parent taking tickets.
The concession stand would need two workers these shifts:
Wednesday from 1:30 - 4:30 _____________________ and _______________________
Wednesday from 4:30 - 7:30 KRISTIN REYES and WALTER REYES
Thursday from 1:30 - 4:30 _____________________ and _______________________
Thursday from 4:30 - 7:30 RICKY and CIERRA GUTTORMSON
The ticket taker, which would be located close to the concession stand, is a person who would be collecting admission to the tournament. Their shift would be:
Wednesday from 1:30 - 4:30 _____________________
Wednesday from 4:30 - 7:30 _____________________
Thursday from 1:30 - 4:30 ____________________
Thursday from 4:30 - 7:00 MICHELLE PETZ
We also need to have an announcer at each game to announce the starting lineups, announce who is batting each inning, and to also play music between innings. This can be players but will need to be parents when Lynden is playing. The following times are:
Game Field
Gm1 Fri 2:00 ___________________
Gm3 Fri 4:00 ___________________
Gm5 Fri 6:00 ___________________
Gm7 Sat 10:00 ___________________
Gm9 Sat 12:00 ___________________
Gm11 Sat 2:45 ___________________
These are shifts that I really need the parents of the freshmen and sophomores to help us out with. The Varsity Team begins the post-season on the Saturday of the Mal Walton Tournament so the parents of the Varsity players will be down in Anacortes cheering the team on. You can see the field from the concession stand and also from where we take tickets. Please respond to me at whitec@lynden.wednet.edu to let me know if you can help out the Lynden Baseball Program at the tournament. I know there have been parents wanting to help us in our fundraising efforts and this is a great opportunity. Thanks so much for your help!!!
