Welcome to the home of the Maryland Black Ice, a girls' fast-pitch softball club based in Cockeysville,
Maryland and one of the fastest-growing in the Mid-Atlantic region! For the 2011-2012 season, we are
fielding four teams in “A” and “B” class competition in the 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U age brackets. The Black
Ice organization is dedicated to teaching young women the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed at
the high school and college level. Our coaches believe in creating a positive and nurturing environment that
can help our players meet their personal goals, not only in softball but in the classroom and in life.

I am also proud to announce a continuation of last season’s instructional affiliation with the University of
Maryland Terrapins softball team and Coach Laura Watten. That will include a mid-summer clinic open to
all players featuring the USSSA Pride’s Charlotte Morgan (a two-time SEC Player of the Year) and Kelly
Kretschman (a 4-time all-American and Olympic gold and silver medal winner).

Founded in 2009, the Maryland Black Ice has attracted top players from as far away as Pennsylvania, the
Washington, D.C. suburbs and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The organization is affiliated with the
Cockeysville Recreation Council and maintains several practice fields at Warren Place, 10535 York Road,
Cockeysville, Maryland 21030.

THE SCENE AT WARREN PLACE:
CAR WASH RAKES IN FUNDS FOR THE 18U TEAM
April 15, 2012 - The Black Ice 18U team set up a car wash fundraiser at the Sun Trust bank
in Hunt Valley to raise money for their scholarship fund and uniforms. The girls were hard
at work from 12-5 - they furiously washed over 80 cars with assistance from their friends
and family, held up signs around the Wegmans parking lot, and handed out free hot dogs
and sausages to everyone who stopped by. In 5 hours, the girls raised over $800 in
donations.
