Summary

Brandon and Cassandra Boyce pitched Skills & Drills preseason sessions open to Newbury and Wells River students, proposing the NES gym before fields are accessible and using tennis balls (no mitts) to adapt to gym limitations.

Brandon and Cassandra Boyce approached the committee to propose preseason Skills & Drills sessions for baseball and softball aimed at Newbury and Wells River students. The sessions would provide early introductions and refreshers before the official April 1 practice start and would be open to parents to observe and learn alongside their children.

Because the fields are not yet accessible, the presenters proposed using the NES gym with adaptations (no mitts; use tennis balls instead of hardballs) to accommodate space and safety. They suggested an initial schedule of one weekday evening and one weekend daytime session, starting in the preseason and continuing through the season as field availability permits.
