Everyone knows that Bookmans proudly supports ideas such as literacy, free speech, animal welfare and the environment. But did you know that we love sports? Personally, I am excited about the upcoming spring training schedule for Phoenix. But there are many young sports enthusiasts who are gearing up for the spring little league season! Young men and women are currently registering and trying out with teams all over the valley for the opportunity to play on a team.

Bookmans Phoenix is a league sponsor of the Royal Palm Orangewood little league, whose opening ceremonies are scheduled for March 27, 2010, at the newly renovated dual purpose field at Royal Palm Middle School. The field has 60 foot bases for farm and 90 foot for juniors. On their website they thank the crews of dedicated and hardworking volunteers who scrapped the grass, installed the infield and mounds, and spread over 175 tons of dirt and clay! That is what I call a sense of community, and we are excited to be a part of it!

Bookmans Mesa is also a league sponsor of Chandler Girls' Softball, whose registration has been so popular that they had to add another date to accommodate the demand! Chandler Girls' Softball is also celebrating their opening ceremonies on March 27 at Folley Park.

Once the teams have been announced, Bookmans will happily share with you more information on which teams Bookmans will be cheering on!
