FROM MOBILE HOME SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION:
  General Assembly meeting 7:00 pm.,April 3, West Mobile Regional Library
Spring is in the air and so are those balls!  We are looking forward to a wonderful spring lineup.  We still have a few bugs to iron out, but it looks like Baseball, Softball, Golf and Tennis are definitely in the coming months. We realize that everyone is becoming frustrated over the lack of organization and our seeming inability to get this started, but we have worked very hard.  It has been a major learning experience as none of us had the background needed to get this going, but we have done the work, we have learned the lessons and we are working to provide this opportunity for our kids and yours!  Please come out to support our kids!  Please get involved and help us get going!  Without you, there is no reason for us! Cheerleading Clinic, Baseball and Softball, Tennis, Golf, Basketball, Flag Football..
