At this time, planning for the 2008 Southwest Suburb J.V. Summer League is under way. This year the league has grown to 22 teams and we are looking for sponsors to help finance the costs of running a quality league. Attached below is a letter with further information. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your support,

Dear Business Owner,
My name is Andy Satunas and I am the Sophomore Baseball Coach at Lockport Township High School. I am the co-commissioner of the Junior Varsity Summer Baseball League. My partners in running this league are Steve Millsaps (Assistant Athletic Director at Joliet Township High School) and Rich Kowalczyk (Amos Alonzo Stagg High School).
The JV summer league is a chance for more kids to have opportunities to play in the summer for their high school and to be coached by their high school coaches. The league will be made up of primarily sophomores with some juniors that do not make the varsity summer league. All teams will play a 15 game season followed by a post-season tournament. As of right now, we have 19 teams committed to the league. This will be the league’s 3rd year of existence. We have grown from 8 teams in 2005, to the current 22 that we have for the 2008 season.
One of the biggest benefits to this league is that we will be playing our championship and 3rd place games at Standard Bank Field in Crestwood. The championship will occur on July 16, 2008. We are hoping that this will bring out the best competition that will benefit our teams in the upcoming regular season.
As you probably can understand, it can be hard to run a quality league without quality finances. I am asking for a donation in your company or organization’s name to the JV summer league. Besides the cost of Standard Bank Stadium, we are attempting to buy T-Shirts for all the teams. The cost of the T-Shirts will run around $2,000. Also, the league wants to provide umpires for the entire tournament, which will run around $1100.
We are asking for any financial help that you can give our league. With a donation to this league, we will display a sign with your company’s/organization’s name. The sign will be displayed during the regional, quarterfinals, semi-finals, and championship games. Also, your company/organization’s name will be announced over the public address speakers during the 3rd place and Championship games at Standard Bank Stadium. Once a donation is made, I will send you a schedule for our season.
If you have any questions about this league, you can feel free to contact me. Checks can be made payable to JTHS JV summer baseball. I hope your organization will help our organization make this a quality and exciting league.
Thank you,
Andy Satunas
