The 2009 SYAC Playoffs
are in the history books
Syosset, NY 19 June 2009—Now that the excitement of the playoffs has subsided, it can be easy to forget that there's still a very important job to be done: putting away the equipent.
In case you've ever wondered what happens to your "stuff" or what's supposed to happen to it, it goes like this: a jolly group of SYAC Board volunteers gather at the Mansion in the park. As the equipment is returned, they take each bag apart and place their components back on the shelves and in the boxes from which they came back in March.
The Pony League and the Senior League equipment return is scheduled for Wednesday, 24 June 2009 at the Mansion in Syosset-Woodbury Park from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.The Instructional and Junior Leagues have already had their appointed time, but if you were a coach this season in either of those Leagues and still have your equipment, please make it your business to get there on Wednesday and return it.
Come in the entrance near the parking lot and walk straight until you come to the stairway, which will be to your right at the end of the hall. We are located on the second floor, to the right when you get upstairs.
To make the job of these volunteers as easy as possible, please try to return the equipment the way it was originally packed. If you can't remember how that was, just be sure to get it all back to us. Most teams will have two canvas bags and a pail.
Meanwhile, two leagues have playoff games scheduled for tonight and it's looking iffy at best as of 8:30am. Stay tuned.

Navigating our site
Syosset, NY 15 May 2009—If you haven't visited the web site yet this season, we urge you to visit soon. We've made some significant changes making it easier for you to see what's going on with your team. To find your team's picture, schedule and game stories, simply go to www.syacgs.org and click the softball above the league in which your team plays. When that league's home page opens, click the link for "Directory and Scoreboard."
This page shows the names of the teams that SYAC Sponsors have helped us create. Our sponsors help make it possible for us to have such great seasons, year in and year out, so we urge you to patronize them. If your team's sponsor has their own web site, you can visit it by clicking their name in the standings—or —by clicking the team name or logo on the team's page, which you get to by clicking the team number.
On the Team page, you'll find the names of the players on your team, your team's schedule, the score of each game they've played, their record, and writeups of each game. To protect privacy, we are no longer listing coaches' phone numbers on the web pages. Instead, your coaches name is now a "mailto" link. Click it to send your coach an email message.
Last but not least, the Team's Page has the thing you set out looking for in the first place: the team's picture. Well, once it's been taken, of course, Picture Night schedules will be posted soon.
Winning isn't everything...
New York, NY 30 April 2008—In case you missed George Vecsey's wonderful piece in today's New York Times, we've provided a link to it here. It gives you a real fresh look at an old issue about kids and sports, the meaning and value of it all. What these kids did is what we strive to promote in SYAC.

SYAC Weather Hotline morphs into SYAC Hotline
Syosset, NY 30 May 2007--Between the generally good May weather we had and the sheer volume of changes forced on us at the most inopportune times, we have expanded our Weather Line to include up-to-the-minute information on field changes and anything that might make it easier for you to get to your game. If something is happening that might affect your game, weatherwise or otherwise, we'll use the SYAC Hotline to update you. Remember, if you're on the way home from the city and you don't have easy access to the internet, all you have to do is call 516.733.4066 to get an up-to-the-minute status report.
