Important Parade Information

Parade day is this Saturday, March 19th!! I know you have probably received some information from your team mom and/or coach but we wanted to send a group email to everyone with parade details just in case.

The SLL parade is a 60+ year tradition for our park. We decorate trucks and parade our teams with a police escort from Campbell Middle School to Brinkley park. It is a super fun morning that your players will remember for years! Each team needs a pick-up truck. We have been working with teams about trucks and if your team doesn't have one, the league will arrange a truck for your team.

Trucks need to arrive at Campbell Middle School at 6:45am. The school address is 3295 Atlanta Road Smyrna, GA 30080. Trucks will enter the school from the Campbell Road side of the school. There will be board members there to assist with parking. Each division will have a row of trucks and they will be identified by a sign in the window of the truck.

All parents are asked to park in the parking lot to the left of the school- no parent cars will be allowed to enter the bus parking lot where the trucks are. Please try to have your player at the school at 7am. Park and walk them over to the truck lines and find your team truck. Teams will have from 7am till 740am to decorate your trucks and eat donuts. Examples of decorations can be found HERE

Once decorations are done, parents will leave players with coaches and drive to the spot where you want to watch the parade from. Two adults must be in the trucks with TB, PW, and Rookie. One adult must be in the trucks with AA and older.

We are going to be handing out trash bags to each team and we need to make sure that all trash is picked up before we leave the parking lot. We will have a trash collection spot at the parade - up in front of the trucks (near the donut pick up area).

The Parade leaves at 8 am sharp. If you do not leave Campbell middle school before the parade - you will be trapped at the school and will not see the parade. Good spots to view parade are along Atlanta Road, City of Smyrna Library circle, Smyrna First Methodist Church (King Street) parking lot, Concord Road between King Street and King Springs Road.

Once the trucks arrive at the park, coaches will take their team to Bartlett Field for opening ceremonies, which should start around 8:30am. Opening ceremonies will take about 30 minutes. Coaches with 9:30am games will bring their players directly to their game field. All other coaches will bring their players back to their trucks to be picked up by parents. Once all players are picked up, trucks must be moved out of the park or into parking spots immediately.

Parking is going to be a major challenge at the park so we encourage you to walk to the park from the parade route watching spot if possible. The American legion and Smyrna First United Methodist church are aware of the parade and you can park there for the morning and walk over to the park.

See you bright and early Saturday morning!!!
