Heights National LL: Welcome
Heights National Little League - PO Box 50535 - Billings, Montana 59105
To all,
Our league is about to embark on some new and exciting things this season.
The first is our new 50/70 Transition League for our 13 year old Baseball Players. This is a new division that has been created to assist in the growth and development of these players and "transition" them from the 46/60 "Majors" fields to the 60/90 "Seniors" fields. For those of you unfamiliar with these terms, they simply mean the distances the players must either pitch the ball or run the bases. For example, the first number for the transition league, 50, is the distance a player must pitch the ball and the second number, 70, is the distance to run between the bases. All the leagues in our District have welcomed this division and we are all doing the best we can to support its growth.
With this new division comes required work to our fields in order to support it. HNLL has decided to construct a "Transition" field with the Juniors/Seniors field at Clevenger Park this year. This will be one of our larger projects for this year's budget as we will have excavation, sprinkler work, pitching mounds, and new bases to be worked on. This will allow us to play both 50/70 and 60/90 Divisions on this field. We encourage all our 13 year old returning players and new players to our league to sign up! It will be a thrilling new division to both play and watch with leading off, stealing bases, and more!
Another item we're excited to offer is our online registration. Along with convenience to our families, we hope to increase our avenues of communication to everyone. We have been successful in creating a new Facebook page which has been growing everyday with more people hitting the "Like" button! Keep spreading the word and talking about our league. The more you all talk about it, the more people we're able to reach out to!
Remember that we always are looking for volunteers! One type of volunteer, out of many, is our umpires. Please make sure to check out the dates for the District 1 Umpire Clinics and our Parent/Volunteer Clinics in our HNLL News section and also on our Facebook page. With our league growing and more games being played, we always need more umpires! All other types of volunteers are also very appreciated...and required! Managers, coaches, field maintenance, concession stands, scorekeeping, team parent, dugout supervisor, are just to name a few. Don't be shy...we'd love to see more and more people at our fields!
Overall, we believe this season will be very successful for our players. We look forward to seeing them all learn the game, improve on their skills, and be successful on and off the field. This is a great sport!
We hope to see many familiar and new faces at our Document Drop-Off & Sign-up Days. Let's all make it the best season yet and thank you again for your continued support of our league.
Sincerely,
Justin J. Becker
President
