Arlington Southwest Little League: Juniors Fall 2009
New Junior rules for Fall 2009|
Please note--after much discussion the board felt it in the best interests of all concerned to play all Junior games at MLK in the fall with 80' bases and 54' pitching mounds. We understand there are pros and cons with this decision and apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. What this board realizes is that the league continues to lose Junior players to other associations. While there are many reasons for the players not returning to Little League, it can be partially blamed on the fact that the jump from 60' bases to 90' bases without some sort of transition is just too difficult for most boys. This is a trial period for the league and no decisions have been reached about the 2010 spring season. Please bear in mind that we have no control over what the other leagues are doing--this will apply to all games played at the MLK complex. We appreciate your continued support. Please look for a short survey that we will be sending out to all junior players in the next week or so looking for answers to help us figure out a way to attract and keep the older boys and girls. We can't fix or address the issues if we do not get feedback from you telling us what those issues are. |
