Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8. Several fields are needed to host a <br />program of this size. Additional fields are provided by the City of North Miami Beach. <br /> <br />Through the City's in-kind donation of free use of the baseball field during regular park <br />hours and the use of volunteer coaches and umpires, the program will be affordable to all <br />who wish to participate with several scholarships available to those who need it. <br />Additionally, it is a convenience for our residents to practice and play on their 'home <br />field'. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />This program will be the baseball component of the Cultural and Human Services <br />Athletics Division program schedule. Expenses for any NMBLL games outside of the <br />regular Pelican Community Park hours will be invoiced to NMBLL thereby avoiding any <br />additional expense to the City to offer this program at a City park. <br /> <br />Agenda Item l 0 <6-- <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview.aspx?ItemID=690&MeetingID= Date 1- I g -110 <br />
