My name is Paul Rosky. For the last 16 years, I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make this organization successful. One president after another has called on me to help out when help was needed, and I’ve always been willing to step up. I have held virtually every job in this organization – coach, fundraising chair, volunteer recruiter, division coordinator, field coordinator, Opening Day chair, coach development coordinator, you name it. I have a good handle on what it takes to run NOLL/SOLL, and now I am proud to be the next NOLL/SOLL President.
Our mission is to provide a positive experience for youths in the sport of baseball for the hundreds of kids who sign up with us to play the game every year. People who know me know I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty – I’ll jump in and do hard work when needed. More than that, we need to recruit passionate people and let them do their job; I will provide our volunteers with what they need – the financial and legal structure, guidelines, and empowerment to get their jobs done well. I will balance the day to day operations of NOLL/SOLL with a long-term vision for the organization in concert with the board.
I want to thank Mike Anglin, who for the past 3 years as president, and well over 10 years on the board has been a tireless worker for NOLL/SOLL. During the time Mike was President, we’ve increased the number of players by more than 25%, doubled the number of scholarships we provide annually and strengthened our relationships with the A’s, the City of Oakland and dozens of sponsors.
Our Fall 2015 season is coming to a close and the 2016 season is nearly upon us. Registration will open on Nov 4 and run thru Dec 21. Tryouts will happen in early January. Please join me in working together to provide a positive experience for our players. This is a job that takes all of our efforts to make it a memorable experience for these boys and girls – something they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
