President’s Pitch

By Vicki Barham

Happy fall everyone!


It's that time again to head indoors for the first indoor tournament, Denver Doubles on October 11th.  Please check the CHPA calendar for more information on this event and upcoming events.  FYI, this year’s Winter Freeze and the 2026 New Years tournaments switched to a SINGLES event.  2026 membership renewals and new memberships are being taken now and will be good until December 31, 2026.   Take care of that now before the holiday rush and craziness start.  2026 membership applications are available on the CHPA website and at the Knaub arena or you can visit the NHPA website to renew online.


Our annual league and tournament director meeting is this weekend, October 4th at the Arvada United Methodist Church, 10AM - 12PM.  Information on how to attend or get virtual access will be on the CHPA calendar

We will be reviewing this year’s CHPA State events and discuss how we can make them better.

We will also discuss how we can help the clubs promote their leagues by either social media, flyers or local recreation activity guides. We need to start this now so we are ready by February or March of 2026.  If you have suggestions please attend or email me with your ideas.


We will finalize the 2026 pitching schedule at this time. If you need to update your tournament information or would like to add a tournament, please contact Sheila Shepard as soon as possible. 

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