Interested in Managing a Team?  We're looking for interested coaches especially for our MINOR SB Division. (ages 7-9).  LET US KNOW RIGHT AWAY!!!

At our Annual Meeting and Elections held on October 22nd, league members voted to change the name of our Coach Pitch Division to Farm Division due to the new format change inacted this Fall and to reflect the Divisions of Major League Baseball (Major League, Minor League, and Farm League).   

Starting with Fall Ball 2011,  the Farm division now utilizes a Mechanical Pitching Machine at games for our players in the previously named Coach Pitch Division.  This means Coaches will no longer have to wear down their arms trying to pitch to their team.  In addition, the Mechanical Pitching machine is very close to a live pitcher so this will still help these young players learn good batting skills! 

 Each player at bat will still receive 6 pitches.  If the ball is not put into motion, then the player will return to the bench, however, there is NO strikeout.  Outs are made on field plays only.

No other changes will occur in the rules.

Chesapeake Little League understands that circumstances change and on occasion a refund is required.  The policy established by The Board of Directors is: 1) Refund requests must be made in writing, 2) Requests must be mailed to Chesapeake Little League P.O. Box 15016 Chesapeake, Va.  23328 and post marked prior to March 3rd of the current season, 3) A stamped, self addressed return envelope must be enclosed or a mailing fee will be imposed, 4) ALL REFUNDS (regardless of reason- ie: joined the wrong league, changed mind, etc.) will have a $5.00 Handling Fee deducted unless we were unable to form a team! 5) No refunds will be made after any part of the uniform has been distributed to the player, and 6) The league will not refund convience service charges incurred through registration on-line 7) There will be a $10 charge on all returned checks. 8) In addition, be advised that our League participates in the RESUBMIT IT Program to process all checks.
