Hey Hawks Family!

May is officially in the books, and what a month it was! Our athletes absolutely crushed it, battling through everything from 7:30 AM sunrise games to grueling Sunday championship runs. They brought home some serious hardware, and we couldn't be prouder of how they represented the Hawks name.

Our latest monthly newsletter is packed with major updates, tournament highlights, and upcoming summer events you won’t want to miss.

Here is a quick look at what’s inside:

Coaches Corner & Tournament Recap: Highlights from our massive weekend at the TSA Monster Mash in Muskegon, plus championship runs at the Northstar Classic, Cadillac Classic, and more!

Summer Tryouts Announcement: Big news! Tryouts for our 8U–18U baseball and softball divisions are coming up the week of July 13th. We are currently transitioning to a new online system that will also help with registration. As soon as that is up and running, we will let you know. Until then, we wanted to let you know the tryout week. A schedule will be coming soon, as well!

Pre-Tryout Showcase: Learn about our upcoming high-tech player evaluation event from June 23–25, featuring a live digital scoreboard, real-time tracking, and personalized player report cards. This will help get your players ready for tryouts!
