PACWEST Little League: My Site News
2013 Summer Slam baseball tourney!
Pacwest Little League is hosting our third annual Summer Slam tournament. This year the tournament has been sanctioned by Little League International. This means that you can bring your official Little League All-Star teams. The tournament will be held at PacWest Little League in Burien, WA the weekend of June 22 & 23. The cost is $425 per team.
I have attached the tournament flyer. We will be using Little League green book rules with modified pitching rules as approved by Little League International.
Last year we had 5 of the top 10 teams in the Washington state tournament as well as Hastings LL from BC Canada that was the Little League World Series representative from Canada in Williamsport. This is a great opportunity to get your teams a tune up prior to the start of your district tournaments.
Please feel free to pass this along to any other teams or contacts.

Attention All Parents!
Sports psychology expert Rick Wolff offers five simple messages for Adults involved in Little League:
1- Parents need to come to grips with one fact:
Your childhood is over. Don't put your dreams on your children.
2 - Listen to your children, don't lecture them or set an inquisition.
Let them tell you what they enjoy about sports.
3 - Coaches: Remember, every child wants to play during games as much as possible.
As a coach, it's your job to make sure that happens.
4 - Yelling and screaming discourages a child's desire to do well in sports.
No one wants to be criticized, especially when playing a difficult game.
5 - Baseball is a hard game, one of the most difficult to learn.
Remember to tell your child how tough it was - if you ever played, and how tough it looked if you just watched :-)
Coaches Applications
PACWEST Little League is now accepting applications for Manager, Bench Coach or Practice Coach. Any person who manages, coaches or helps out at practice must complete a Coaches Application and Volunteer form and submit them to the league for approval. See attached handouts for the coaches application and volunteer form. Complete them and turn them in at one of the registration dates.
