President’s Pitch

By Vicki Barham

Hi All!

Once again summer just flew by, it's getting dark sooner and the nights are getting cooler. It also means we only have a few more outdoor tournaments and then we head up to Knaub Arena. The 1st indoor tournament will be the Denver Doubles on October 11th.


The CHPA wants to congratulate all of the pitchers and winners who attended the 2025 State Single Championship.  A special thank you to the Fort Collins Club for hosting this year’s tournament.  With 16 courts we were able to get in all the games in one day.  Congratulations to all of our recipients of the CHPA awards and Hall of Fame recognitions. 


A Big thank you to all the league presidents and statisticians for all their hard work.  All of them volunteer their time and energy to run their club and maintain records to send to eshoes.  I like to see more members involved with how to run their clubs.  We lost a few clubs because no one would step up and fill those shoes.  The CHPA officers will also be available to help.   


The annual Tournament and League Directors meeting is on October 4th this year.  The physical location will be at the Arvada United Methodist Church, 10AM - 12ish PM.  This is when we work on the pitching schedule for next year.  We also discuss how the State tournament went and how we can improve them.  So please attend physically or virtually by phone or on your computer.  We welcome all suggestions.


We have one more State Tournament to play, the State League Championships on September 13th.  This year we will have 7 teams competing.  This will be an all day tournament, pitching in the morning with a lunch break around noon.  We will finish the remaining games in the afternoon.  The CHPA will provide hotdogs, if you are attending please bring a side dish to share.  Scorekeepers will be needed and you’ll be paid the standard scorekeeping fee.  Come and cheer on your local club.  The winners will automatically be entered into next year's tournament.


That’s it for now.  See you at the pits.

Vicki
