Friday, June 9th,  will be SPAA Night at Busch Stadium for our 27th year. The St. Louis Cardinals will be hosting the Colorado Rockies beginning at 7:15 PM.  All SPAA teams are encouraged to come on out and help us celebrate this fun night at Busch Stadium!!  No league games will be scheduled on this night.

We will be starting with 1600tickets to sell for this event.  We sold out very early last year, so talk to your team right away about this fun night.  Once we sell out, there is no guarantee we can get more tickets.  Our seats are in the  Lower Left /Right Field Box area.  We will be offering all tickets at a fabulous price of $25 each.  Face value on these tickets is around $65 so what a great deal this is.  There is also an Adult shirt giveaway to the first 25,000 fans, ages 16 and older.

Tickets are available on a first come first service basis beginning on May 1 in the SPAA office. Sale will end on Thursday, May 18th or when tickets are sold out, whichever comes first.

 All SPAA players purchasing tickets by 4 PM, Friday, May 3th,  will go into a drawing to throw out a first pitch on the night of our event.  1 boy and 1 girl will be drawn for this honor.  The drawing will take place on Monday, May 6th.  Winners will be notified.

 All players with tickets will be able to parade around the warning track prior to the game.  The parade is for SPAA players and coaches only.  NO SIBLINGS OR PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARADE!  This is a special time for the players and their teams.  Players must be in their team jersey and accompanied by at least 1 adult per team.

SPAA will start running background checks on head coaches starting with the Spring 2024 season. Our insurance company has started to  require us to have a procedure in place for this.  Along with background checks, head coaches will need to take a 30–45-minute online class accompanied with a quiz regarding abuse prevention.  Upon competition of the quiz,  a certificate will be printed off to keep and SPAA will be notified that the requirement has been met.  SPAA will be requiring head coaches to participate in our background checks/ training and not another company as there may be different levels of training and background checks. This way SPAA is responsible for what is being trained and the type of background check completed.
