OPENING DAY
SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2018
Join us for a day full of food, fun and surprises!
We have several hundred players and parents who will be participating in the GCYAA Tball, Baseball and Fast Pitch Softball Pancake Breakfast and Opening Day ceremony on Saturday, May 5. To help the board members out in running these events, we are looking for volunteers to help us with the Pancake Breakfast and Opening Day festivities. You can help for one hour or several hours, whatever time you can give, we are grateful for!
We need help on the following days & times:
Friday, May 4 – Burger Transition Center – 5pm
Here we need help unloading tables and chairs, unloading supplies, and setting up the gym and kitchen area for the pancake breakfast the following morning.
Should take about an hour.
Saturday, May 5 – Burger Transition Center – 7am till Noon
Here we need help making sure everything is in place for the start of the breakfast at 8am. Some of the jobs include help keeping the pancake breakfast supplies stocked, directing people where to go for pictures and the breakfast, helping at the pancake breakfast cashier table or in the kitchen, and helping to clean up and pack up the kitchen and the gym at the end of the breakfast. We try to have all the clean up done by Noon so we can all head over to Moeller Field for the festivities there!
Noon – 2pm
Here we need help passing out Dick’s Sporting Goods raffle tickets to each team, help directing teams during parade lineup and during the parade, helping to set up the Moeller 7 for the ceremony, etc.
As you can see there is a variety of things you can do to help us run this exciting day for the players. We truly appreciate any time you can give as many hands makes light work!
If you can volunteer, please either Facebook messenger me or email me at gcyaajacquie@gmail.com and let me know what day and time you can help. THANK YOU!

Our photography company for Opening Day has changed its name from Photographic Impressions to Picture Day Pros. In addition, they are no longer providing picture envelopes, but providing a flyer with information about picture packages and products. You can still order pictures on Opening Day by cash, check or credit card, but be aware there will be NO ENVELOPE to put it in. Exact cash must be included with your order as NO CHANGE WILL BE AVAILABLE ON PICTURE DAY. They will only process orders if payment is provided.
You can also PREORDER online at ThePictureDayPros.com (more products are available online). When ordering online, the league you choose is GARDEN CITY YOUTH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (GCYAA). Make sure you also know your TEAM NAME (ie. Tball Royals) and the LAST NAME of your COACH. Pictues are delivered to the GCYAA a few weeks after they are taken and then dispersed to the coaches to hand out individually.
Team pictures will be taken throughout the morning of Opening Day at the Burger Transition Center. Exact picture times for your team will be listed on game schedule when they are published.

Opening Day Parade and Ceremony
There is a parade of all the teams from Hands On Tball through Bronco. The parade begins at 1pm at the Moeller Field concession stand and goes into the Moeller Field #7 outfield area. While the teams are getting into their places, lots of free items will be tossed to the players like tshirts, blowup baseballs, and frisbees! Once all the teams are in place, a ceremony will take place recognizing all our teams, our sponsors, etc. Your team is encouraged to bring signs, banners, balloons, noisemakers, etc to show your team spirit throughout the parade and ceremony. The most spirited team in Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Girls Fast Pitch will win a pizza party gift certificate. (Hands On Tball and Regular Tball will have a special pizza party at the end of the season).
At the end of the ceremony, all players from Pinto through Bronco will also have the opportunity to win a one of four $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift certificates!
