Summer Athletic Program lfi ~- -:Y. RELATED FACTS: States such as Iowa and Minri~­ sota have now started a fine summer athletic program. This includes a series of baseball contests sponsored by the State Association. In states such as Michigan, Wfs­ consin, New York and Georgia, scattered conferences sponsor such a program between teams which contin:tie to represent their schools during the summer. METHOD OF OPERATION: One or more members of the school athletic staff are usually retained to w6fk with other community organizations in supervising the summer activity. When a team represents its school, it is customary to permit participation by any boy who was eligible at the time school closed in the spring and any boy who has graduated from_ the eighth grade and will enter high school in the fall. The sponsor should carefully cheek to be sure that the program is fully in conformity with the state association regulatlor'is. In large cities, competition may be between schools in the same city. In smaller commd;n­ ities, nearby high schools may be grouped in a summer conference. Schedules are. ~ r- ranged to avoid interference with regular summer work done by players. · t FEDERATION AIDS: When schools organize a summer program, various aids are available through the efforts of the National Federation and Organized Baseball. 1. Baseball films are available. The sponsor may choose to advertise a showing of the film in connection with any program and to charge a reasonable amount with the un­ derstanding that funds will be used to further the baseball program. These films may be secured from the sponsors' State High School Association or through the Federation. The only cost is postage and handling. 2. The attractive Federation edition of the Baseball Rules Book may be secured at negligible cost and the sponsor may choose to have these resold at list price with the understanding that receipts will help finance the summer program.

3. If clinics are planned to reach a reasonable number, an instructional team can often be secured. Ability of the Federation or the State Association to send such team depends on whether the clinic can be worked into a circuit so that a maximum nl_lmber · may be serviced with minimum travel and expense. If admission is charged to the clinic, receipts may be used to help finance the summer program.

4. Certain groups of schools are designated as an experimental unit. In this unit; if schools agree to hold their teams together for summer competition, such groups can be allotted a small fund to cover cost of baseballs, officiating and similar necessary expense for the final series of games. ./

FIRST STEPS: Contact neighboring schoolmen to determine the possibility of ex­ tending the school activity into the summer. Contact other community organizations so that a maximum number will be accommodated. If a schedule is arranged, contact the state and national high school offices and state your desires in connection with the aids mentioned above. Rochester, Minnesota, is an example to show what may result. Tl1at city has recently extended the contract of all of its staff to a twelve month basis. The 'staff is paid accordingly and they are expected to spend the summer months in the inter­ est.s of the young people of the community-with proper allowances for vacation.period.
