Managers/coaches will communicate cancellations during the regular season due to weather via email and/or phone.  Rescheduled games will be updated on the schedule and calendar and will typically be the Friday of that week.  Unless you have been notified by 5 pm for weekday games and at least 1 hour before game time for weekend games you should arrive at the field.

CLL recommends that you download your player's schedule.  To obtain the most recent schedule, use the CLL Calendar on the left menu.  At the bottom, select category, division and/or team, then click on 'Redisplay Calendar'.   Output option(s), such as printing and exporting, are located in the top right corner.

We are fortunate to have great baseball fields due to the hard work and love of the game by a key group of people whose players are now on high school varsity rosters or playing at the college level.  Unfortunately, the Berry Farm Fields have limited parking.

Parents of player, coaches and visitors are asked to carpool, park close together in the designated parking lot, and respect the "No Parking" areas.  You may arrive at the complex and the lot is relatively empty, always assume that there are other teams arriving at a later time and be courteous in your parking.  Park as close to the car beside you as possible.  Overflow parking is located adjacent to the Berry Farm Stand to the north of Bill Peter Field.  

NO PARKING ZONES - 
*  There is no parking on, in or around the circle to the south of the facility per order of CVFR. 
*  There is no parking on the roadway leading from Rte 7 to the entrance to CLL fields. 
*  There is no parking beyond the entrance to CLL fields along the tree line and split rail fence - this is an active farm shop even when the farm is not open for business.

When exiting CLL fields please, STOP!  You are entering an active roadway before you get to Route 7.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Thanks to all who came out and supported Charlotte Little League on the field and facility prep day this past weekend.  It was a great turn out!   Our league runs on this type of support -- without it we would struggle to put teams on the field.  

Thanks again!
