Sunday Clinics for 10, 11, and 12-year olds
Starting Sunday, June 3rd, we will be holding two weeks of open baseball clinics for 10, 11,and 12 year old NELL players. Clinics will run from 1:00 to 3:00pm, and are open to all players in these age groups.
The clinics will be run by guest coaches from outside of NELL. All NELL managers and coaches in these age groups are strongly encouraged to attend and get involved - the more help we can get the better.
Clinics will be held in a practice format and will be focusing on game situations and player positioning. All 10, 11,and 12 year old players are encouraged to come out and take advantage of this great opportunity to improve their baseball skills.
Players should report to Field 1 at 1:00, and will be separated into groups from there.
2012 NELL Post-Season Commitment Letter and Info
It has been a great 2012 season. We want to communicate the opportunity for you to continue enjoying Little League baseball after the end of the NELL regular season.
NELL fields post-season teams at each of the 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 year old levels. Our goal is that every player interested in playing post-season baseball has the opportunity; delivering on this commitment is largely dependent on overall player interest and the availability of parent volunteers. Below is a brief overview of the Tournament and Select teams and other information related to the NELL post-season program.
Tournament Teams
Tournament Teams participate in competitive tournaments at locations in the Philadelphia area, including our own NELL tournament. The teams typically practice 3-5 times a week and play 2-4 games a week. The tournament season runs from June 15 to the end of July, and the players are expected to be available for all practices and games throughout the entire tournament season. The minimum playing time in most tournament games is 3 innings and 1 at-bat.
