Hey Parents, Coaches, and Assitant Coaches, 

 

Although it seems obvious, if a field has been chalked for a game, please do not play on that field. 

 

Our fields are groomed and chalked during the day, we have 5 fields to play on, plus batting cages. Please stay off the fields once they have been chalked. If you have scheduled practice with your team, please make sure you add it to the Master Schedule so the Field Operations Team knows about the practice and can plan accordingly. 

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.  

 

Thank you, 

 

Greg Winn

Hi Jackson Area Families, 

 

Welcome to the 2020 Baseball, Softball, and T Ball season. We are excited you have decided to join us this year. As we all know this year is going to be unique. We are going to need to make some adjustments to our games and practices so that everyone stays safe and healthy. Practices will start next week, games will begin June 15th, the season will wrap up in early August. If your child's coach has not reached out to you, please reach out to them or myself to let me know. 

 

Basics: 

• Please have your children wash their hands before and after every practice. Please send them with sanitizer if you feel they will use it. We will also have sanitizer available at the park. 
• Guests at the park need to practice social distancing when possible. Please plan to bring lawn chairs, blankets, or whatever you would like to sit on for the games, the bleachers will be CLOSED. 
• Coaches will be provided with sanitizing wipes to help keep the equipment clean. The wipe buckets will be stored in the Coaches Closet and the coaches will have access to them before each game. 
• Players should try to separate as much as possible in the dugout. We will be opening up the dugouts a bit so that the kids can spread out along the baseline. 
• Kids should bring their own helmet, glove, and bat. We will have team helmets available, if your child needs one to use for the season, please work with the coach to get them a helmet assigned for the season. If your child doesn't have their own bat, we can always wipe the bat clean or buy your child batting gloves to wear when they hit. 
• Please plan to eliminate Team Snacks after each game. 
• If you are sick or have symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and notify your coach asap.
• If you have a family member that has tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home and notify your coach. 
• Kids playing at the park need to be supervised, please have your children use sanitizer when they are done playing. 
• The bathrooms will be closed unless we can get the Town to approve of them being unlocked (fingers crossed). We have ordered 4 portable toilets, we will do our best to keep them clean, however, we do not pay anyone for this service, therefore your help keeping them clean is appreciated. 
• Concessions will NOT be available unless the Town reverses its decision to prohibit us from providing concessions. We are deeply saddened by the Town decision to keep the concession stand closed, that being said, volunteer hours are going to be a bit of a challenge. I am hoping to provide everyone with more direction in the coming days. In the meantime feel free to bring coolers and beverages for your family, please pick up after yourself. 
• Milwaukee Brewers Little League night - TBD
• Raffle tickets will be distributed to the Head Coaches. Please get them from the Head Coach early in the season. The raffle drawing will take place on July 18th. 
• JAYBA Party July 18th - TBD
• J-Hawks tryouts will occur in late July at Town Hall Fields

Please refer to the guidelines for any additional questions. If you have concerns you would like to discuss, please feel free to reach out to me for help. 

 

Thank you,

Welcome to the Jackson J-Hawks Website

The Jackson J-Hawks formed in 2007 when a group of Dad's wanted to create a more competitive experience for their boys. The J-Hawk nation was born. The group started with one U10 team in 2007 and by 2010 they had a total of 4 teams. Over the years the program has grown immensely. Since 2007, we have been working hard to keep this program going and we are always striving to improve. We believe in offering the kids a competitive baseball experience that will allow them to learn the game of baseball and play at a competitive level. 

J-Hawk families enjoy the flexibility of 12-14 league games and 3-4 tournaments each year. The baseball season starts with tryouts in July, indoor practices starting in January, and live baseball games in May. All home games are played at Town Hall Fields in the Town of Jackson. Fields are groomed and maintained daily to offer the kids the most ideal playing surface anywhere. Our Home diamonds have an amazing concession stand offering everything you need on game day. The only thing you have to do is show up and PLAY BALL. 

Thank you for the many years of support.
