Dear Little League Parents,

We wanted to let you know some exciting news: For the first time since 1999, a new division of play has been created in Little League.

Featuring a pitching distance of 50 feet and base paths of 70 feet, the new baseball division for players who are league-age 11-13 will be offered for the 2013 regular season. It will include postseason tournament opportunities, including a World Series.

The new baseball division will serve as a bridge between the current "Little League" size baseball field (46-foot pitching distance, 60-foot base paths) and a standard baseball diamond with 60.5-foot pitching and 90-foot base paths.

Full details on the new division, and all of the decisions from the recent meeting of the Little League International Board of Directors, can be found here.

Much more information on the new division will be forthcoming in the months ahead, so please stay tuned to the Little League Web Site (www.LittleLeague.org) and to our main Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/LittleLeagueBaseballAndSoftball) for the most recent updates.

Sincerely,

Little League International
