EBSA Photo Days
If your team was scheduled for photos 5/12 you are rescheduled for Sat 5/19.
Visual Image Photography will be at James park from 10am until 5:30pm, Saturday May 19th. Photos are taken in front of the pine trees, just North of the James 3 field, near the batting cages.
Updated 5.14.12:
Softball Photo Days are May 16th, 17th and 22nd, SOFTBALL CLICK HERE.
Saturday May 19th Photo Day Schedule, BASEBALL CLICK HERE.
The listed times are approximate. Your team may come before or after your game. If you are coming from another field, the VIP photographers will wait for you. Please make every effort to get your team to James Park for your photos, for lasting memories and to show appreciation to our many sponsors.
There will not be any other Saturday photo dates.
Thanks for coaching. If you have any further question, contact EBSAPhotoDays@yahoo.com.
NEW this year, the VIP order forms were distributed for each team at the time of uniform pickup. Coaches please distribute to your team families this week, if you have not already. More forms will be available on site, but it is extremely helpful if parents fill out their order ahead of time and have payment ready on Photo Day.
Why do we do Photo Days? TO THANK OUR COACHES & SPONSORS! Every coach receives a complimentary portrait with their player. Our sponsors receive an awesome team photo plaque to hang in their place of business. And of course, Photo Days allow us EBSA parents an opportunity order photo packages of our adorable players.
With many procedural improvements in place this year, we hope it will be a great experience for all EBSA families. Please mark your calendars, and encourage your teammates to attend!
