LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT:
To: All North End Little League Players/ Families
From: North End LL Board
January 17, 2012
Welcome to our 2012 Little League Baseball Season:
We have lots of exciting things happening this year at Bridgeport North End Little League (N.E.L.L.), but it all starts with our registration process which resumes on 1/28/12 from 10:00am – 2:00pm sharp. Please look for our registration flyer we delivered for distribution to the schools and signs for other dates in February as well as under “Calendar” on the website.
Once again, we will be having a T-ball clinic for 1st time players ages 4 – 5 as well as a Junior division of players ages 13 – 14. (See “2012 Player App (Front Side)” on the website under “Handouts” for current fee schedules)
We will be increasing our interleague play at the Major Division level and are hoping to introduce interleague play with the other Bridgeport Little Leagues at the AAA Division this year.
Our relationship with the Clubhouse in Fairfield is growing and they will be available for clinics and training at a discount prices to all of our players. The board has also made a decision to limit our all star teams to two teams this year, a 9/10 and 11/12 team in effort to be more competitive during all star tournaments.
We will still be accepting credit card payments this year for registration as well as your ability to use credit/debit card for our revamped concessions stand.
We will be seeking volunteers for many positions that N.E.L.L. requires in an effort to have a fun, competitive and educational season of baseball for all children. Coaches, Team Moms, League Officials, Maintenance Crews etc… will all be needed. Please fill out a volunteer application if you’re interested in taking a more active role in your child’s experience at N.E.L.L.
You will notice some changes our fields this year including upgrades to the fields, safety enhancements and continued improvements to our stand. In an effort to continuously improve our fields, a slight increase in registration fees was implemented this year. Please note that these are the first increases in N.E.L.L. fees since 2007.
One last note, N.E.L.L. has a Zero Tolerance policy in effect again this year towards any acts of aggression or violence. Please insure for your child’s safety, the safety of other children, parents, coaches and league officials that we behave appropriately at all N.E.L.L. sponsored games/ practices and events.
Thanks and we look forward to another exciting season of N.E.L.L. baseball.
Scott Moutinho
N.E.L.L. President
