REGIONAL- After a COVID-marred 2020, BEST Golden Knights Little League is ramping up for a new season with new leadership at the top.
Amanda and Joseph Carter moved to the area last February from Fargo, N.D. Joseph is a nurse anesthetist at Essentia Health in Virginia, and the couple has three young children – two-month-old daughter Salem, daughter River, 6, and son Sterling, 9.
When Sterling said he wanted to play baseball this summer, the couple discovered that the BEST Golden Knights, which bases practices and games in Embarrass, was in need of new leadership. The Carters decided to step up to the plate.
Players are needed for the following teams: tee ball, ages 5-6, coach-pitch, 7-8, minors, 9-10, majors, 11-12, and Babe Ruth, 13-15.
Babe Ruth players must be 13-15 as of May 1. A minimum of ten players are needed to field a team.
Online registration is encouraged by going to https://fs11.formsite.com/dKQZw9/lvudsewzqf/index.html. If you are unable to register online, please give your child’s school your contact information and someone will call to help you register.
Amanda Carter said that she’s in the process of contacting coaches, and uniform distribution and practices could begin early in May. She’s anticipating a season that will be a return to what families have experienced in the past, complete with concessions at home games and a possible tournament in July.
As plans solidify, more information will be posted to the BEST Golden Knights Little League page on Facebook. More information is available by calling Amanda at 320-282-2895 or by email at bestgoldenknights@gmail.com.
