CT District 11 Tournaments: Fall Program

In order for Fall Programs to be consistant between leagues a complete set of rules, team schedules and a coaches contact list is provided by clicking on the Headlines above. We ask that each coach and league become familiar with the rules. Questions should be addressed to A.D.A Glenn Simpson.

Welcome to our Fall program Kick off. This year Glenn Simpson will be in charge of the Fall Program replacing Rich Hiscox who after many years of devoted service to District 11 has decided to step down. Glenn is a past President of the Taftville Little League for many year,  joining the District 11 staff in early August.

A kick off meeting has been scheduled for thursday, August 20 to be held at the French Club in Jewett City. Glenn will use this meeting to introduce himself and obtain information necessary to get the program underway. 

Glenn can be reached at glensimpson40@comcast.net or 860-859-1094

Information needed for the District 11 Meeting:

1. Number of teams by division for each league.

2. Names, phone numbers (Home, Work & Cell) with e-mail addresses of all coaches and managers.

3. We also ask that if you do not have enough players to complete a team you should be prepared to identify that at the meeting.

4. Identify field locations by league/division. Also identify any field restrictions if any, or availability.

Meeting Scheduled:

Date: August 20, 2009, Thursday

Place: French Club, Jewett City

Time: 6:30 pm 

That's right August first is almost upon us so it's time to start organizing Fall-Ball Baseball and Softball!

For the unindoctrinated, Fall-Ball is a loosely competitive program in order to give players the opportunity to play at the level they will be assigned next season, or higher. It is especially beneficial to the 12 year olds that will move to the big diamond in the spring, but has been instrumental in raising the knowledge and ability of those who have participated over the last 6-7 years we have offered this program.

This season, as always, will start the first Saturday after Labor Day (September 12th) and run 8 weeks through the end of October (Saturday October 31th). Different divisions will have different formats as evidenced by last years rules (agreed to by those involved) that I have attached as a starting point for this season.

What I need, if preferably a single point of contact per charter who can, when finalized supply me with;

Number of teams per age group 9/10, 11/12. 13-16 (ages are for next season, and younger players can be moved up further if deemed capable and necessary)

Managers name for each team complete with home & cell #'s and e-mail address.

Any field constraints. Such as (2) 9/10 & (3) 11/12 teams with only 2 home fields available, or Soccer uses all our fields we need to play on the road every game, or (as has been done the last couple of years, Lebanon will be playing all home games in Baltic courtesy of SFC.
