Have you previously managed a team and hope to do so again?  Maybe you are hoping to start out in a lower division and 'grow' along with your child.  Perhaps you can't make the commitment to manage a team, but are willing to help out by coaching under a manager.  Whatever the case, it is very important you make your intention known and turn in a completed volunteer application  ASAP!  Every potential manager and coach must have a background check before he/she can even be considered for the position.  In addition, aspiring managers must undergo an interview process, and receive the final approval of the SLVLL board before being given the responsibility of managing a team.

 

So don't waste another minute!  Click on the link above (2010 Volunteer Application) and download the form, fill it out, and get it back to the board right away.  You can drop off completed forms at the next board meeting on December 16, or mail it to Sue Sutherlin at 9495 Brookside Ave., Ben Lomond, CA, 95005. 

 

Time is of the essence - the board will be voting on 2010 managers at the first meeting in January, with interviews taking place in the weeks just prior to that meeting.

We've completed all walk-in registration opportunities (sorry for the mix-up of locations on the postcards!), but online registration (powered by Active.com) is still available, and will continue until January 13th.  Click the link below to be taken directly to Active.com -

Cabrilo College Baseball Coaching Staff

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Let's encourage this wonderful outreach to the baseball community by Cabrillo College, and attend these clinics if possible!

 

P.S.  As a result of the email regarding this, several questions have come back, regarding (1) if there is an age limit (ages 6-12), and (2) the exact location of the clinic (the Cabrillo College baseball field).    Thanks to Bob Kittle for his prompt reply!

 

The board meets regularly, throughout the year, working tirelessly to keep Little League up and running for the youth of the San Lorenzo Valley.  We generally meet the first and third Wednesdays of the month, at 7 PM in the staff lounge of the high school (during the active Little League season, our meetings will be at 8 PM).  Keep an eye on this site for the most up-to-date information. 

 

For those players who have "aged out" of regular Little League, there is another opportunity to play baseball next spring. 

 

 

Have you changed your email address in the past year?  I recently sent an email to all addresses on the SLVLL mailing list, and several 'bounced' back as undeliverable.  If you didn't receive the email, please click the link below and re-submit your information so you will receive future SLVLL-related emails.  If you received the email and would like to be removed from the list, please hit 'Reply' and put "Unsubscribe" in the subject line, and your address will be removed from our list promptly. 

 

                                                
An important rule change will be enforced in 2009, by Little League International regarding allowable batting equipment which may affect you. If your child wishes to use their own bat, please read this rule carefully.

Rule 1.10 - The bat must be a baseball bat which meets Little League specifications and standards as noted in this rule. It shall be a smooth, rounded stick and made of wood or of material and color tested and proved acceptable to Little League standards.

Little League (Majors) and below: it shall not be more than thirty-three (33) inches in length nor more than two and one-quarter (2¼) inches in diameter.

Non-wood bats shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less.

 

The league will provide approved bats at each field to be used for game play only.
