The Opening Day parade is one of the most special experiences for our Players!
Here's what you need to know:- The parade will begin from the parking lot just east of 52nd St Auto Wash (you'll see the crowd!) and end on Field 1 at the KBSL complex - the City of Kentwood is kind enough to block 52nd street for the KBSL parade!
- As the parade ends, players will be guided to the outfield on Field 1 for the Opening Ceremony. (We've got some very fun guests!)
- Teams should wear their jerseys and are encouraged to show their team spirit with signs, balloons, face paint, cheers, or anything else they come up with...however, candy/prizes MAY NOT be thrown from the parade! **There will be prizes for the girls, boys and co-ed team who show the most spirit during the parade!**
- It's vital that we stay on schedule (we're shutting down traffic, after all!) so please follow the parade schedule below:
7:40am - Parade line up. Look for the flag with your Player's division (A, B,C,D,E). Cars may not enter the staging area, so you will need to park in another area of the lot to walk your child to the staging area to meet their team.
8:00am - Parade begins! Make sure you grab a spot along 52nd street after you drop your player off!
8:30 or immediately following the end of the parade - Opening Ceremony on Field 1
