Help is needed to fill the following open positions:

Scheduler - This will be Ed's last year of scheduling practices and games. Get on board now and learn as he prepares the schedule for 2013.

 Equipment Manager - Inventory all equipment on hand, and order what is missing/needed. Hand out team equipment to the managers before the practice season starts. Get all equipment back at the end of the season, and issue the equipment for the All Star teams. 

Umpire in Chief - Make sure all games in the National league at Hyde Park have an umpire to call the games. Set up a schedule for the Owego Tournaments, and call in other league umpires if needed.

Umpiring - You Can Do It - We Can Help



Love a challenge? Want to become or stay involved in the league? Try umpiring. Most have found it to be a rewarding avocation.

Umpiring has been described as having the best seat in the house. It has also been described as a job where you have to be perfect the first time out and then get better. In any event, for someone who has had their child graduate, it is a good way to continue your involvement in the league. For others it may be a way to become involved without committing to all the time and days managing or coaching would require.

Sound interesting? Be one of the blue crew. Check out the rules quizzes and the foul ball test found on the League Information page.

Contact President Ken Winters for more info.

Just Kidding!

Check the Bat Rules Before Buying a Bat

Check the rules in the "League Information" section on the menu.

Learn the Rules Now - Save Some Grief Later

There are a lot of rules that we just know for sure. The problem is, a lot of these "rules" are myths and old wives tales.

Check out the rules information on the league "Rules Info" page or click on the link below. You might just get a surprise or two. The rules don't always mean exactly what they say.

If you have any questions, post them on the rules message board. (You need to be a member of the site. If you aren't, Eteamz should offer you the opportunity to join if you aren't one when you try to use the board.) Or e-mail Rich Ives (richives@stny.rr.com).

Volunteer Opportunities



The league has oppportunities for you. Join in the fun. Support the kids, baseball, and the community.

MANAGERS/COACHES: Contact Chris Rieg  crieg70@gmail.com if you are interested in managing or coaching a team.

UMPIRES: We are always looking for volunteer umpires. Whether once a week, or more if you love it, you can enjoy the best seat in the house. Need training - no problem. We conduct training sessions to teach you how. Contact Ken Winters at 607-972-9894

WORKBEE DAYS: Like puttering around in the dirt?  Maybe you are good at handyman tasks. Things always need fixing. New things need to be built. Fields need to be maintained. The 2013 workbee dates are April 20th and 27th. Not available those days? We can always use help during the season too.

Composite Bats Banned

Following the lead of the NCAA and High schools, and an earlier ban on composite bats for the 13 and up age groups, Little League has banned composite bats in LL Baseball segments for 12 and below also.

See the announcement at www.littleleague.org 



Thursday, March 17
Bat Info. Read this. Not a Mere Suggestion.

Bats with composite barrels are banned unless they are on the approved list.

Please see www.littleleague.org for the article on the bat moratorium. Click on the article's link for 2 1/4" bats to see which are approved for Little League Majors and below.

Please see www.nfhs.org and do a search on "approved composite bats" to see the list for teener. 

Little League non-wood bats must also be marked BPF 1.xx where xx is 15 OR LOWER. No LL bat can be more than 2 1/4" in diameter and 33" long.

As teener is using high school rules, teener non-wood bats must be BESR marked and a -3 drop or less. No non-wood HS bat may be more than 2 5/8" in diameter and 36" long. A wood bat may be a maximun of 2 3/4" in diameter with a maximum 36" length. 

NEXT YEAR (2012)  Teener bats MUST meet BBCOR, so if you're buying a new bat we strongly urge you to get a BBCOR bat.  NCAA and the State of California already require BBCOR bats so they are on the market.
