Announcing Tewksbury Fall Baseball


In conjunction with Long Valley Baseball, the TAA is offering Fall Ball to children who are going into
3rd through 8th grades in September of 2008. After careful consideration, the TAA has chosen to partner with Long Valley Baseball's established Fall league for the 2008 season. This will be an informal recreation styled league with the focus on learning and fun. There will be NO standings and NO playoffs. There will be one or two games per week on Fridays and Saturdays (approx. 5PM to 8PM) and Sundays (approx. 4:30PM).

Exact days and times will be available in August.

The games will be played at Palmer Park in Long Valley. Some games will be under the lights!

The fee is $75 and sign-up ends July 31. The fee includes everything (shirt, pants, socks, cap, etc). The season will run from early September to late October.

The Flag Football Board of Directors have extended the basic registration fee through July 21st so you can register without incurring the late fee. The uniforms will be ordered on July 22nd and we want every child to have a uniform in time for the season. Please register before then at: http://tewksburyathletics.sportsoffice.com/

Registration Deadline Extended!

Please register now for the 2008 Rec Soccer Season. The late fee will go into effect on July 25th, the team draft will take place the last week of July and the uniform order will get placed on August 1st.

If you are interested in coaching or assistant coaching your child's team, please contact Michelle Hofmann at hofmannsellfamily@yahoo.com or 908-236-7679.

NEW Coaching Policies

Effective November 1, 2007, The Tewksbury Athletic Association (TAA) has implemented 2 new policies to enhance the quality of our coaching program.

Coach Rosters

All Program Directors will now be responsible for submitting a list of their Head and Assistant Coaches to Rob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com), TAA Coaches Coordinator, prior to the start of each season. Coaching staffs will be reviewed for Rutgers Certification and prior evaluation results. If a coach is not in our Rutgers Certified database, the Program Director will need to get a copy of the coach’s Rutgers Card and forward to Rob Edmund for verification and inclusion in our database.


Background Checks

Beginning with the winter 2008 sports season, the TAA will implement a finger printing and background check program for all Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Trainers who coach in our Rec and Traveling Programs. There will be no exceptions!

Program Directors should contact Bob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com) to coordinate the necessary information and schedule a time with the Tewksbury Police Department for their coaching staff.

There will be no cost to the coaches for the training course or background checks. Coaches who do not complete the Rutgers Certification course and submit to the background check will not be permitted to coach for any TAA team.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Mark Wood, TAA President
Rob Edmund, Coaches Coordinator

Please take the time and complete our Coach Evaluation Survey. The TAA views
coaching as a critical foundation to our programs and is committed to
ensuring our coaches are properly trained, and provide your children with
quality coaching in not only sport techniques but also in team spirit and
good sportsmanship. All surveys are confidential and go to our Coaches
Coordinator, Rob Edmund.
