Spring 2010 Opening Day
The Opening Day Parade for the Spring 2010 season will be held Saturday, March 6. All Teams are encouraged to attend. There will be prizes for the best-decorated trucks/floats, so get ready to show your team spirit! Prizes will be awarded to the players as well as the coaches.
Line up will begin at 8:00am on the access road that runs between the ball park and Winpak. Parents may drop players off using the normal entrance and parking lot for the park, and then leave to park near Main Street to watch the parade. If there is not enough room on the access road, we will also use the entrance to the Senior Center for parade lineup.
The parade will begin at 9:00am, travelling down Main Street, and returning to the park, where we will have our Season Opening Festivities. The first games of the day will begin at 10:00am, or immediately following the Opening Festivities.

Important News from Little League Regarding new bat rule!

March 18, 2009
It has been brought to the attention of Little League officials that there are a few bats for sale in stores or that may have already been purchased that carry the Little League approval, but do not have the required bat performance standard markings. The Little League Rulebook states that beginning January 1, 2009, all non-wood bats used for play in Little League Baseball (majors and below) shall be printed with a bat performance factor (BPF) of 1.15 or less. While the bats we have identified pass the BPF standard and other standards of proportion and measurement, they do not have the proper label. These bats are in the marketplace for a variety of circumstances. After review by Little League officials, it has been determined that these bats may remain in the marketplace and shall be allowed for play during the 2009 season only, with the understanding that these bats shall not be allowed for play after December 31, 2009, even though some improperly labeled bats may still remain in the marketplace, or retained by leagues and players after the 2010 deadline. Also, check the model you are purchasing. If these bats, like the Vanquish, are replaced with corrected labeling, and have the BPF 1.15 label, they will be allowed after 2009.
Specifically, the bats in question are as follow:
Adidas Vanquish Blue design (There is a newer model of this bat, also named the Vanquish and it has copper and black markings. It contains the proper labeling and therefore is not subject to the one-year rule).
DeMarini Black Coyote
Rogue
Distance
Rumble
Tengu
Easton LZ-810
Louisville Slugger YB31
