October 9, 2008
Dear District Administrative Staffs and Local Little League Baseball Officials:
Beginning with the 2009 Little League Baseball season, baseball bats with a diameter of 2 ¾ inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division of Baseball.
Baseball bats with a 2 5/8 inch diameter are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior, Senior and Big League).
The "minus-3" requirement - overall weight (in ounces) of a bat can be no more than three ounces below the overall length (in inches) of the bat - remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is NOT a requirement in Junior Baseball.
Also, in effect for the 2009 season is the requirement that all non-wood bats used in Little League Baseball Divisions and below shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less.
Sincerely,
Little League International
P.O. Box 3485
539 US Route 15 Hwy
Williamsport, PA 17701-0485

PRACTICING ON CLOSED FIELDS
IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THE FIELDS ARE OK FOR PRACTICE, CALL THE CITY FIELD CONDITION LINE.
694-6445 option 3 then option 1
This line is updated around 3 p.m., but it is not updated every day. If you are calling on a Thursday, (March 10th) and the message says the fields are closed as of Monday, (March 7) you MUST assume they are still closed.
Practicing on a muddy field not only poses a risk for the children, it also destroys the fields. I know the practices can be few and far between, but we must follow the city guidelines.
New League Age Determination Date
The league age determination date is the age a player has attained as of a specific date, for the purpose of placing the player in a particular division. In past years the age determination date has been July 31. This year it is changing to April 30. For more information and answers to FAQ's go to links and click on Little League Online, then scroll down and click on "New League Determination Date Goes Into Effect".
