***A-There are still requests to run a 12 (12 only) division in the summer using the 50/70 pitching/base dimensions.  We can do it if there are enough teams (>10) with the proper fields and it doesn’t impact too heavily on the 12 and 11 & Under divisions.   We would need a volunteer to be the director of both the 12 & 12 divisions..  The board will vote prior to the first meeting as to whether or not to allow a limited number of 11-yr-old players to participate.

***b-Again this year there are also requests to run a 15 & Under division.  There must be enough teams (>10) committed and registered by the May 27th meeting and a volunteer(s) to accomplish this.

***c-The 23 & Under Div. (college) did extend its age requirements to be 24 & under with limitations.  Players must be 19 years old and/or graduated HS in 2010 and only (3) 24-yr-old players are allowed on the roster.

Please monitor this site for any changes or additions.

Thanks and have a great season,
