Thank you for your support!

Opening Day 2024 was a smashing success, and on behalf of the entire Board of Directors — all 24 of us! — we want to say THANK YOU for everyone who showed up, helped out, contributed, cheered on our kids, and supported LPPLL in big and small ways.

We want to give an extra special shout-out also to all of our 2024 sponsors. Check them all out here – complete with links and logos.

Here’s to a terrific season ahead!

We are now just a few days away from our annual Opening Day festivities (Saturday, March 16), complete this year with a parade, some special visitors, and a tri-tip sandwich special at the snack shack!

By now you should have exact details for your team’s participation from either one of your coaches or your team parent. This email also gives you a broad overview of what to expect.

7-7:30AM: Arrive at our team’s assigned parking spot in Land Park. Team parents have been busy organizing your team’s truck — all decorated with your team’s colors for the neighborhood parade! Your player should be in full uniform but, please, no cleats for the parade or ceremony; wait to put those on for your first game.

8AM: Parade begins. The parade goes from East Park Rd near the Tiny Tots preschool and then turns onto 13th Street. Once the parade is underway, look for LPP board members to guide your team’s truck to its parking spot for the Opening Ceremony. This year we have too many teams to fit every single truck on San Mateo Way, but we have a plan and ask for your support in following our lead. Reminder — no families should be parking their cars at Dooley or on San Mateo Way before 9:45am. Bike parking is available inside the Dooley Fields facility along the road to the snack shack.

8:45AM: Opening ceremonies get underway on Dooley 1. Players will be staged on D2, as directed by board members. They will then be announced while running onto Dooley 1 and lining up as part of the ceremony. No parent who isn’t a coach or board member should be on either field until ceremonies are over.

FOLLOWING THE CEREMONY: Follow the instructions of your team’s coaching staff and our LPP board members to exit the ceremony. Most teams will be released through the side gates or left field gate of Dooley 1, where they can meet up with parents. Please ensure your coach knows you are leaving with your player.

Lastly, please, please, please make sure no trash from your truck or the parade or in general is left along San Mateo Way or anywhere other than in a garbage bin or dumpster. We don’t want our neighbors to think we’re messy! Please do what you can to clean up. 

Then….  Let the games begin! Be sure to consult your team’s schedule.

SNACK SHACK:

You should have received our email Sunday night about the $15 tri-trip special. It comes complete with a sandwich, potato salad, and chips. There will be plenty of other and familiar menu options also! 

Thank you, and see you all Saturday.
