Big Willow Baseball

Big Willow Baseball Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a fun recreational baseball program for players between the ages of 5 and 12 in the Minnetonka / Hopkins area. Players of all skill levels are welcome, and will be encouraged to develop a love of baseball through quality instruction that emphasizes friendship, teamwork, good sportsmanship, respect for self and others, development of baseball skills and strategies, and family Involvement. Every player is given an equal opportunity to play and learn in a healthy environment. Big Willow makes baseball fun. Games are played at beautiful Big Willow Park, just west of the intersection of Minnetonka Boulevard and Hopkins Crossroads.

	Birth Certificates
	Beginning this year, Big Willow Baseball requires that birth certificates be submitted for all players, in all divisions (Mites, Juniors, Farm and Majors). Please submit a copy (paper or scan) as soon as possible. Paper copies can be mailed to: Minnetonka Big Willow Baseball PO Box 663 Minnetonka, MN 55343 Scanned versions can be emailed to:concessions@bigwillow.org A note to past tournament teams: We have retained as many birth certificates as we could from past tournament teams. However, most were destroyed (shredded) after the end of the season. Going forward, we are going to keep the certificates on file, so you shouldn’t have to submit them again. Please direct any questions regarding submitting the birth certificates to Dana Johnson at concessions@bigwillow.org. Thank you for your continued support of Big Willow Baseball.
