Many leagues see Opening Day as a wonderful venue for highlighting last year’s accomplishments, acknowledging anniversaries and honoring individual and team achievements. Bringing in an engaging guest speaker or holding special dedications and unveilings also add to the entertainment value. In organizing the program, and events for the day, be careful not to lose sight of the fact that this is an activity for children of all ages, so it needs to be fun. Mix what’s interesting for adults with thrills for the kids. Contest, games, and other “moving” activities will cut down on kids getting bored.
