Old Settlers Park Sports Complex Improvement Project

Baseball registration, league name contest and ballfield improvement update

The team of representatives and board members from each baseball league has been working diligently with Barry Silverberg to get the final legal details of non-profit status together. While the new organization is not complete, we realize its time to start registering for spring baseball!

To simplify the spring registration process, parents interested in registering their children for baseball will go ahead and register with Round Rock Youth Baseball, Sam Bass Baseball or Old Settlers Express Baseball as done in the past. Please contact your league directly to get early registration information. The new unified league, which has yet to be officially named, will take registrations in the summer and fall.

We need a NAME!
We keep calling this new league we’re forming the “unified league” or “new league we’re forming.” It needs a name!  The current leagues have pitched in to create a $100 cash prize for a league naming contest.

How it works: Submit your league name idea as a comment to this blog post. When you register for the blog, we’ll have your name and contact information, therefore if your league name is selected we can contact you and give you the $100 prize. The contest runs from today through 5 pm December 21.

The current group of team representatives and board members that have been working on the unified organization process will select the winning league name at a meeting in January. In the event that two people submit the exact same winning name, the first person to submit the idea to the blog post will receive the $100 prize. This contest is open to participants of all ages, so put your thinking caps on and let’s come up with a great league name!

Ballfield Improvement Update
At the November 21 City Council meeting Chasco was awarded the contract for Part A of the construction project. This includes all the water line, sewage and parking lots. Construction is to begin approximately January 1. The city is in the final negotiations on the contract for Part B which is the beginning of the field renovations and girls softball complex upgrades. The city hopes to announce the final construction schedule soon. This project is going to make our ballfield complex one of the premier facilities in Texas! We’ll keep you updated on developments.

How about one of these . . .

1) Old Settler's Youth Baseball - a combination of Old Settlers Express and RR Youth Baseball.  

2) Home Run Sports - would be good if you intend to include softball in the future

3) Palm Valley Baseball

None of these "assumed names" are registered with Williamson Co., yet.

I have a suggestion:

<b> TriplePlay Baseball League</b>

Not only is it the top defensive play in baseball, it's a subtle tribute to the three founding Leagues.

Other variations could be...

<b> TriplePlay Baseball of Williamson County</b>

<b> TriplePlay Williamson County</b>

<b> TriplePlay Baseball </b>

Basically the key word being "Triple Play"

P.S. ~ I like the name "Rustlers" myself, but if someone objects that it smacks too much of criminal activity, viable alternatives would include Rancheros, Rangers, Raptors, Rascals, Rawhides, Redhots, Redliners, Revelers, Roadrunners, Rockstars, Ropers, Roughnecks, and Rowdies. =)

I got my idea from the article below the naming of the team from the five young men on the cart race. The headline said "Crush the competition" so in the event I should win I need to give a $5.00 to the five guys too.

How about the Round Rock "Pythons"....so they can "crush the competition"?! The colors would be either brown or olive and toy pythons would be the mascot.
