There was a chill in the air, but the excitement of the KBC Grand Slam Jamboree
got everyone warmed up. Check out some more photos of the action.

SCHEDULES, RESULTS ONLINE!

You can now see your team's schedule, game results and standings right here on the KBC website. Here are the details:

Schedules for all teams can be accessed using the "GAME SCHEDULES/SCORES" link in the left-hand column. You can view the schedule and scores for an entire league or an indvidual team.
Google map links for fields are included with each game on the schedule to help as you head out for those road games.
Game results and standings for each league can be seen quickly using the appropriate link in the left-hand column. Standings are updated automatically when a game score is reported.
Upcoming games are also highlighted in the right-hand column of most pages on the site. If you're thinking about taking in a game, or wondering when a friend's team is playing, this list gives you a quick look at the week ahead.

Schedules change often, as you know. We make every effort to keep this site updated, but your coach is always the best source of the latest information.

We appreciate the cooperation of all the coaches to be diligent about entering game scores, win or lose. Players in particular enjoy seeing how their team is doing in respect to the rest of the league. If your team's scores are not updated volunteer to take on the task for your team by talking to your team's manager.

WHY CHOOSE KBC?

Players moving up from Little League in the Kirkland area have options when choosing the next step in their baseball careers. Here's why we think Pony Baseball with KBC is your best bet:

BETTER FIELDS: You will play the majority of your games at beautiful Lee Johnson Field at Peter Kirk Park, a field that is the envy of baseball teams around Puget Sound. Playing under the lights on a spring evening is a thrill, and a delight for parents and friends.
SMALLER DIAMOND: You will play on diamonds with 80-foot bases, which makes for an easier transition from Little League and a much more enjoyable experience.
MORE GAMES: You will play 25 or more regular season games, followed by the city championship tournament, plus opportunities to play in Memorial Day and Fourth of July tournaments as well as All-Star tournaments.
LOCAL TIES: You will play with and against friends from Kirkland, but also have the opportunity to see how you measure up against teams from other communities.
LESS TRAVEL: Your road games will be against teams from nearby communities like Bothell, Bellevue and Mountlake Terrace; no long trips to far-flung fields.
NO FUNDRAISING: You won't be asked to sell candy or magazines or the like. All we ask is that families patronize the Peter Kirk Park concession stand, a major source of the league's revenue. But that's hardly a hardship — you can't beat the famous PK Burger.

Need more information? Contact any member of our Board of Directors. They'll be glad to fill you in.
