We’ll be in Jupiter, also hope to see a few fellow webster’s in Ft. Myers at the underclass event.
If you’re going to the underclass event you can probably find me in “Shoeless Joes”, just look for the Dad holding the tin cup looking for donations to support his son’s baseball habit.

Jersey Dad, we'll be in Ft. Myers come Friday, son playing with Trombly. Look us up!
Not sure yet if we'll make it back down for Jupiter, though.

Will do Midlo - my guy is playing with the East Cobb Braves so if you are around one of our games do the same.
FYI- they just posted the schedule.

I know my geography--thanx--went to a Catholic Grammar school where they taught us that stuff
My point being I was asking who would be in Jupiter not FT Myers
By the way they are not that far apart

I imagine there are lots of people who will be at both Ft Myers this weekend and at Jupiter later this month.
Me, for one!

My son will be at both flying out tomorrow by himself to Ft Meyers. My wife will be in Jupiter with him. I will be working , someone has to try and pay for this stuff! Any of you lucky guys and gals that want to say hello to my boy he will be #33 on the Dirtbags 17u at Ft Meyers and #33 on the Dirtbags in Jupiter.
Coach May - wish you were going. I will be sure and say hi to Jeff. Hopefully watch one of his games as well.
Coach Merc - really hoping we can hook up!
Lets hope for good weather!

Can I ask you folks something? How do your kids manage the time off from school? My son is taking all honors and AP courses this year and couldn't possibly miss that many classes. Are their teachers just very flexible because they are ballplayers? I'm not getting that feeling from my son's teachers. 
Folks-
I have to second PopTime's question.
My son (08) is in the same position. On top of it, he also plays football which precludes him from attending fall baseball events.
But, I am curious as PopTime on this issue.

My son can miss a total of five days a semester. He too is taking honors classes. He will miss a total of three days of school attending both events since school is out one of the days he will be gone. He is flying in on Thursday nights and flying out on Monday nights. He knows that he can not miss any school for any reason if he wants to attend these events. If for some reason he has to miss school (very sick etc.) he can bring a doctors note and it will be excused. He gets all his missed work in advance and does it while he is gone so he does not get behind. Thats how it works for us.
Our school system has a certain number of absences it will permit during a year. Some are "excused" and some are "unexcused", though in reality they don't treat the two much differently.
My son went to Ft. Myers last year and it cost him two days of school. His school is on what they call a "block schedule", meaning he goes to long session classes but each class meets only every other day. So basically he missed one session of each class for this trip. It was deemed an "unexcused" absence but basically there were no consequences except he had to work to catch up, same as if he'd caught the flu.
With these 2 days in the fall, I think he missed 4 days of school all year, so the impact wasn't all that great.
We're catching a plane to Ft. Myers tomorrow a.m., same situation again. But his carry-on is a book bag, so he can avoid getting too far behind too quickly. Looking at our game schedule there are some big gaps where he'll be able to cloister himself in the hotel room to hit the books.
JB, as for football, I would say you'd be SOL. Just can't do both things, I wouldn't think.
