Now that Fall ball is completed we are onto the 2024 regular season. As in years past POPS will work to get a new field to accomodate the players on our waiting list, the new teams looking to join us and the teams that split up to form 2 teams. Look for registration that will begin the 2nd week of January, when the 2024 application will be up. Enjoy the winter and see you all soon.

As we are finishing up POPS Fall Ball next week, I want to acknowledge and give special THANKS to Andy Eisner and Howie Gallub who took over as the commissioners of POPS Fall ball. As well as Hugh Kovitz who was the umpire in chief assigner. Other than the 40+ league that had more rainouts than games, all had fun. We are looking forward to getting turf at Oceanside HS in the next 1-2 years to avoid all these rainouts in the future.
_____________________________________________________
For the "Playoffs" (which is double elimination), POPS worked hard with 15 BOD's spending over 2 hours deciding divisions in each league. Your team might be playing on a Tuesday to ensure we are able to run thru and complete the schedule and to finish before our field permits are done. If there is rain, be prepared to play "any night" available. Good Luck and have fun.

In case you were not aware, POPS has gotten permission to add a "Port A Potty" at Oceanside HS.. It is placed behind the 1st base dugout, attached to the fence. Every manager has the combination of the lock and this will stay until after Fall Ball is completed. Please make sure to LOCK it when done.
