GRAA Seeks New Baseball Commissioner
GRAA is in search of a new baseball commissioner and additional volunteers to support and possibly build out our baseball program. As you may know, we currently partner with Bloomfield Little League for our recreational baseball program and currently do not have an active Glen Ridge Travel program due to a prior town assessment of demand.
The role of the GRAA Commissioner would be:
1. Oversee and annually review the Glen Ridge partnership with Bloomfield Little League
2. Ensure Glen Ridge residents are appropriately represented in the Bloomfield Little League.
3. Annually assess if alternative recreational programs are needed
4. Annually assess if there is demand for a Travel Program, either in-town or a joint venture with another town.
Please fill out this form to express your interest. The deadline to apply is Oct. 20 at 11:59 pm.

Team Snap Transition
Glen Ridge Athletic Association is excited to announce that we will be transitioning all our sports over to Team Snap. Based on parent, coach, and commissioner feedback we felt that this is the right time to transition and the right choice for our sports management software.
Beginning with 2023-2024 winter sports each new registration will be on TeamSnap:
Basketball
Floor Hockey
Soccer Winter Clinic
Softball Winter Clinic
Volleyball
Wrestling
What Do I Need To Do?
If you already have a TeamSnap account, you will be able to continue to use it to sign up for GRAA sports.. If you do not have a TeamSnap account you will create one the next time you sign your child up for a GRAA sport.
Will my registration history from Sports Engine be transferred to TeamSnap?
Unfortunately, no. GRAA’s Sports Engine will be accessible until February 2024. At that time all data will be archived and stored by GRAA.

24 HOUR RULE
Any player or parent/guardian who is upset with a coach, for any reason, should wait 24 hours before approaching any coach, sport commissioner or GRAA sport liaison with complaints. This rule is intended to let parents and coaches have a cooling/calming down period. After that time, the first thing to do is to discuss the problem with the coach or assistant coach. If necessary, the sport commissioner and/or board sport liaison may be included. It is the GRAA board’s opinion that, after waiting the required period of time, everyone will be able to discuss any issue in a calmer, more professional manner. Please visit contact.graa.org for contact info
