A reminder to all coaches to ensure they check the status of the fields (open or closed) if the weather conditions dictate at the athletic parks we play at. Park staff make the decision on whether the fields can be used, and they are usually posted between 3pm and 4pm at these websites:

As per Little League International mandate, beginning with the 2009 Little League Baseball season, baseball bats with a diameter of 2 3/4 inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior AA or Junior Division of Baseball.
Baseball bats with a 2 5/8 inch diameter are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior AA, 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 AA or Junior Baseball.
Also, in effect for the 2009 season is the requirement that all non-wood bats used in Little League (Major) Baseball Division and below shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less.
For Junior AA, Junior and Senior division schedules, standings and results please visit Little League Alberta District 8.
