Arts, Beats & Eats is happening in Royal Oak this weekend. Parking at Shrine High School has been commissioned out for this event. In an effort to manage this situation, both St. William and Shrine families are being provided with two options for alternate parking:
1. Players can be dropped off at the circle drive in front of the school on 13 Mile Rd. Ample parking can then be found across the street at the Northwood Shopping Center (by the Kroger’s) at the southwest corner of 13 Mile Rd. and Woodward Ave. There is a pedestrian stoplight allowing visitors to cross 13 Mile Rd. directly onto the school grounds.
2. Players can be dropped off at the Yorba Linda Blvd. gate bordering the field to the north. Parking can then be found either on Yorba Linda Blvd., itself, or in the immediate vicinity within the residential neighborhood north of the field. Coaches gear would be best dropped off here, as Yorba Linda runs adjacent to the visitor side of the field.
Also, there is handicap and special need access available from Yorba Linda.

Many players still need to turn in paperwork. Those who haven’t turned in all required paperwork (registration, contract, insurance info, physical) will not be able to participate in a game until they do so.
Spirit Wear is available. Samples will be at practice all week. Please turn in forms and money by Thursday as we are going to place the first order this week.
4-way Scrimmage on Saturday (8/21) at Catholic Central (Wixom Rd. & Grand River). Note – there is also a canned food drive. Bring canned food to support this worthy cause. Wear practice uniform and arrive 1 hour prior to start times listed:

Just a quick reminder about a few items:
- Full pads start Thursday. That means helmet, shoulder pads, practice jersey, white practice pants, including 2 thigh pads, 2 knee pads and a pad in the back. Please wear the white belt for practice. Full jerseys, black pants and green belts will be for games. If you don’t have all the right pads, please arrive at practice a little earlier to take care of that.
- When dropping off for practice, please be respectful of the daycare facility which doesn’t close until 6. Prior to that time, parents are picking up their children and need the closest parking spots for that.
- DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HOME EARLY FROM PRACTICE WITHOUT NOTIFYING A COACH. This is for the safety of all the boys.
- 10 am Saturday is the annual intra-squad scrimmage that takes place right at the practice field. Each team will be divided up to play against each other. Each level will play against the same level. A team and family picnic will take place at noon, right after the scrimmage. We didn’t have sign up sheets for this event, however, we are asking that people help out to get things set up and cleaned up. If everyone pitches in, it won’t be a burden on anyone.
- The Dad’s Club will be supplying the meat for the picnic. Bottled water has been donated. Should your family like sodas, or other beverages, you will need to bring those. Also, we ask you to bring the following:
- Varsity – Desserts
- JV and Freshmen – Appetizer and/or salad
- Spirit Wear order forms will be available later this week and on Saturday. T-shirts, sweats and hoodies will be available to purchase. See James Smith for details.
- A special thanks to Giuseppe’s Italian Deli & Bakery and all the parents who have helped make Camp Week Dinners tasty and organized.

The youth group softball team came to the 2010 parish picnic this past weekend ready to play some softball and determined to win the annual contest against the Dads’ Club. Since the inception of the annual contest in the early 90’s, the youth group has never beaten the Dads’ Club. While many published accounts of bygone years recorded the game as ending in a tie, recent years have seen the Dads’ Club’s summer softball team publicly claiming their victories. This year, the Youth Group was determined to claim theirs.
The youth group began the game strong with a starting line-up that actually held a practice during the week leading up to the contest and held a 7 run lead after 3 innings. The Dads’ Club rallied in the second half of the game to draw within 1 run going into the heart of their batting order at the bottom of the seventh inning. Undaunted, the youth group reloaded their outfield and sent the side down in order ending the Dads’ Clubs’ decades long dominance.
