Discount Cards Sales Due -- Return All Unsold Cards

Our Annual Discount Card sale is concluding and all proceeds and unsold cards should be returned to Vikki McGarvey, who is running point on the Discount Card effort.  Remember, these cards are a great value -- one or two uses around town easily saves much more than the $5 cost.  Ask your family and friends to support BLL by purchasing one or more cards.  

Thanks for Tag Day Support

Despite threatening weather throughout most of the day, our Tag Day effort was a big success.  In total, we raised $5,983.  Final team results will be posted shortly, but we surpassed the results (total collected and per team average) of the past couple of years -- perhaps an indicator that our local economy is little healthier!  Let's all hope so.

 

Visit Our On-Line Training Center
Learning the fundamentals of baseball is really what Little League is all about. Our goal each and every season is to see kids at all levels progress. We typically see steady progress at all levels and parents (and coaches) are often amazed at the plays their kids are making by the end of the season compared to where they began in the spring. To help provide additional guidance for coaches and parents, Brandywine Little League has subscribed to an expanded on-line 24/7 Coaching Solution series that features an array of age appropriate coaching drills lead by Scott Bradley, the head coach of the Princeton Tigers and a former major leaguer. Coaches and parents are encouraged to take a look at this series, which is posted under our Training Center tab on the left of this home page. Once you get to the Training Center, you'll see seven different modules. You'll need to enter the password "brandywinell" and hit ENTER on the module you choose. This will launch the module and then you can scroll through the separate lessons. In addition to the video drills (each is about 90 seconds), there are written notes for each module that you can print and refer to when you are on the field with your team or child. We look forward to hearing what you think of this series. If you used this series last year -- check it out again -- as the material has been updated for 2013.
Cheesecake Sale Now Complete
May 2, 2013

BLL appreciates the support our Fundraising efforts receive from our families.  Our annual Cheesecake Sale ordering period has wrapped up.  If you have a late order...please contact Bryan Seningen (see Board of Directors listing) directly to drop off order and payment.  Our order deadline slipped, so cheesecake delivery will likely be the week after Memorial Day.  Remember, all proceeds will help defray the cost of our new Dyer Batting Cages.  The net is up and our new cages are now open for business.

Concession Stand Volunteers Needed

BLL needs your help to manage the concessions stands at Dyer and Brandywine Ballpark.  The commitment is only for one night a week or less, depending upon the number of volunteers.  We'll work around your schedule so you won't miss your child's games.  And, in return, our players and fans' appetites will be fulfilled with Dyer dogs, Brandywine beverages, and more!  Call Chris Fiorelli today at 302-559-6769!  BLL runs on volunteer power -- so please call today!

Brandywine Fields Are Not Dog Parks!

Please respect our fields when you bring your canine friend to either Brandywine Ballpark or Dyer Fields.  Unlike most other leagues, we do not ban dogs from our complexes -- but we ask that you and your dog show common coutesy...and since your dog is a dog, you must take the lead. Here are the basics:

1) Your dog(s) must be on a leash (short leash please) and under control at all times.  If your dog does not get along with other dogs or small children, then our complexes are NOT appropropriate for your dog.

2) Dogs are NEVER allowed to run, walk, chase, or prance (let along pee or poop) on our playing fields. YOUR kids are playing there or will be playing there.  

3) YOU are responsible for picking up any doggie mess that your friend produces.  Please bag the mess (you did bring bags, didn't you?) and drop the bag into a dumpster at our fields (not a trash can....the big dumpster next to the concession stand, the dumpster outside the entrance to the Junior/Senior Field, or the fenced in dumpster next to the Concession stand at Brandywine Ballpark).

Why is this an issue?  Because poops were left outside of Dyer 2 yesterday. And because a Board member had to run off a group of teens/young adults who had a pair of dogs running wildly on Dick Moore Field at Brandywine Ballpark -- after he watched one dog poop at 3rd base and the owners failed to do anything, except decide to leave.  That is unacceptable -- so if you see a black Jeep Cherokee with Del tags (HP15210) let a Board member know. These people and their dogs are no longer welcome on at our facilities.  

Just to be clear, I have a dog (a very stupid Miniature Schnauzer) that my wife and kids sometimes bring to the field when my son plays on a nice summer evening. I do not have an anti-dog agenda, but I do have an anti-stupid pet owner agenda.  

Thanks for your cooperation and if you see someone who can't seem to follow the three simple rules outlined above...please intervene.

Hope You Enjoyed a Spectacular Opening Day

Thanks to a lot of hard work getting the fields prepped after the heavy rainfall yesterday, Brandywine Little League celebrated a mostly sunny, wonderful Opening Day!  Hope you enjoyed the festivities and games, win or lose! 

Dick Moore Honored for 16 Years of Service to BLL
 
 
Dick Moore, a member of the Brandywine Little Board for the past 16 years, was honored at the league's annual banquet on November 16th, as the recipient of this year's President's Award. This award is given annually to recognize the outstanding contributions made by a league volunteer. Dick has provided innumerable hours of devoted service to our league as a coach and manager at all age levels, as Tournament Director of the Brandywine Invitational, and in many roles on our Board, including a five year tenure as league President. Among his many accomplishments on the playing field, Dick took the league's District All Star team to the Eastern Regional Championships in Bristol, CT in 2010. The completion of the Brandywine Ballpark complex was in large measure due to Dick's steadfast passion for this project. In addition to securing funds and grants for this project, Dick negotiated with suppliers and County partners to see this project through to completion. In honor of Dick's commitment to Brandywine Little League and the Brandywine Ballpark project, as of the beginning of the 2013 season, BB1 will be named the Dick Moore Field. Congratulations Dick and Thank You for your tireless service to Brandywine Little League.
