As we did last year, we will be using Sportography to take our individual and team photos on Picture Day. This year, in addition to the paper order forms that will be distributed by your team's manager on Opening Day, you can also register for Picture Day online at Sportography's secure Online Photo Registration system. Please click the Sportography graphic to access their website and registration system. There you will find detailed instructions for how to use this simple and easy to navigate application. Once the transaction is complete, don't forget to print out the Photo Ticket that is created and bring it to Picture Day.
In the next few weeks, your child's manager will let you know the time slot his/her team has been assigned. Even if you do not plan to purchase pictures, please make every effort to attend. We would like all players to be included in the team photo, which is presented on plaques to the team's sponsor to thank them for their sponsorship.

The SK Babe Ruth league has completed its final season and is no longer in operation in South Kingstown. Because of this, South Kingstown Little League has expanded its offerings to include Junior and Senior Baseball divisions for ages 13-16. We expect many former Babe Ruth players to return to SKLL and join us in these new divisions! Please contact us if you have any questions regarding Junior/Senior Baseball.

Dear Little League Families,
We have been contacted by URI Baseball to ask if our league was interested in helping to sell raffle tickets for their annual raffle. URI offered to share the profit of tickets we sell with South Kingstown Little League. Since SKLL has not held a raffle in a few years we thought this would be a good opportunity to raise additional revenue for the league and develop a partnership with the university.
Proceeds from ticket sales would be used for player development (clinics / training), purchase new equipment, and upgrade the facilities utilized by SKLL. This would have a direct positive impact on our baseball and softball players and enhance the programs offered by our league.
Please see the attached information for the raffle.
If you have any questions or are interested in purchasing a ticket please contact me at fgskll@cox.net.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Sincerely,
Frank J. Gallucci
Frank J Gallucci
President
South Kingstown American and National Little Leagues
