Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email info@phillyvintagebaseball.org or use the contact form on the club's site to ask about playing, umpiring, or joining as a supporting member..
What to expect
The site does not describe a first visit. It says the club stages live games and demonstrations for the public, but no dates are posted yet, so ask by email whether something is coming up and where it will be.
Tips for your first visit
- Follow the club on social media, since the site sends people there for game dates.
- Ask about the uniform rules before buying anything, since the club links a uniform regulations document.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The club says interest is the only requirement to play or umpire, has a join section with a contact form, and welcomes players, umpires and supporting members. No game dates or practice times are posted yet..
