Dear Little League Volunteers,
Oral
Health America's National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) and
Little League International are pleased to announce the 2012 NSTEP
Slogan Contest on the health consequences of using spit tobacco.
In
10 words or less, Little Leaguers are asked to create an original
slogan that effectively describes the hazards of spit tobacco use. All
current Little League Baseball and Softball players age 14 and under are
eligible. All entries must be received by July 1, 2012.
The
National Spit Tobacco Education Program will award the winner with a
paid trip for two for one night, including airfare, hotel accommodations
and ground transportation to the Little League Baseball World Series in
Williamsport, Pa. (Please note: The World Series begins August 16, 2012
and concludes August 26, 2012. The winner must be able to travel during
this period.)
The
winner will receive a prize valued up to $500 and the winner's Little
League will receive $500 from Oral Health America's National Spit
Tobacco Education Program.

Oral
Health America's National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) was
founded in 1994 as an effort to educate the baseball family and the
American public about the dangers of smokeless or spit tobacco, and
break the long-standing link between this potentially deadly drug and
Americas pastime. Each year, 10 to 16 million Americans put their health
at risk by using smokeless tobacco products.
The
National Spit Tobacco Education Programs mission is to prevent people,
especially children and young adults, from starting to use spit tobacco,
and to help all users quit.
Sincerely,
Little League International

Little League Parents and Volunteers:
With the safety of the players and all Little League volunteers at the top of our list, Little League International is providing information for parents on keeping children safe from sexual abuse predators.
With many leagues already underway and some others starting in the coming weeks, the story, "Proactive Parenting: Use These tips to Help Prevent Children from ever Being Abused," provides 10 tips to keep your children safe by Jill Starishevsky, a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City.
A link to the story is available, at: http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2012/Jan-Apr/ProactiveParenting-HelpPreventChildrenFromBeingAbused.htm. More information is available on the Little League website on reporting sexual abuse, at: http://www.littleleague.org/learn/programs/childprotection/ReportingChildAbuse.htm.

Practices and Games/ Rain Outs 2012
Practices and Games/ Rain Outs 2012
All field condition updates and rain out/cancellation notices will be listed here and on voicemail at 901-217-5024 by 4:00 pm of that day (unless emergency storm/late day heavy rain cancellation happens after 4:00 pm). If no changes/rain outs are given by that time, please arrive at field for regular scheduled practice or game time.
Please realize that you may think the fields look dry from outside the gates, but sometimes they are not. At times, a morning/afternoon hard rain does not give the Town of Arlington adequate time to be able to prepare the fields as necessary for Little League safety requirements prior to scheduled games. Whenever cancellations have to be made, the Board must, in turn, rechedule those games into an already tight schedule, so it is not a decision that is ever made lightly.
**We have also added TWITTER as a means to update rainout notice
(address = AYLL@ArlingtonYLL ). Thank You
**ANNOUNCEMENT**
It is extremely important that all parents, siblings, or other guests stay outside the fences of the individual ball fields, according to National Little League regulations. Only players and coaches who have had background checks/ID badges are permitted on the playing field during all practices and games, all others will be instructed to sit in the proper place. Parents should sit in the common areas or bleachers. AYLL can (and will be) fined or cited if it is found we are not compliant to this regulation. If children want to toss baseballs, kick soccer balls, etc. they must do so in the grassy areas between the complex entrances and the dugouts. We need to keep the area around the building and bleachers free of "ball action" out of respect for our spectators. Please help keep the complex grounds clean and safe! Keep an eye on your non-ball playing children and clean up after yourselves. Also, please adhere to posted regulations at the gates that pertain to NOT RIDING skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, bikes, etc. inside the complex. *****In addition, there have already been instances of children playing hide and seek in the restrooms (and other areas of the building off limits to children) and making messes. It is extremely unsanitary for children to be playing in the restrooms. Some Board Members have had to correct these children multiple times (with a few children arguing back with the adult), and it will not be tolerated further. If this continues to be an issue, the bathrooms will be locked, and an adult will need to go to the board member on duty for the key to take their child to the restroom. Please, help the AYLL Board in keeping our facility safe and monitor your own children.
