Use of 2 3/4 inch Diameter Bats no Longer Permitted in Junior Baseball A rule change was issued by Little League International on October 9th, 2008 in regards to bat size in the Junior Baseball Division. If you are going to play in the Junior Division in 2009, please take note of this change.  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 League Division of Baseball. Baseball bats with a 2 5/8 inch diameter are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (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 Baseball.Also, in effect for the 2009 season is the requirement that all non-wood bats used in Little League Baseball Divisions and below shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less. 2008 Fall Ball Season  The 2008 Fall Ball season has begun. The 10 week season will conclude on the weekend before Thanksgiving. Games are generally played on Sundays in the afternoon. Remember that Fall Ball is a time for training and development of players as well as umpires. Players will learn valuable tools that are important as they move up in a division or are just beginning their baseball careers. We are encouraging all Managers to use this time to develop players in different field positions and promote pitching. All players and coaches are expected to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Please check our fields and facilities page for directions to the various fields.
Fall Ball Rules The rules for the Fall Ball season slightly differ from those of the regular season, please take the time to look them over.
Fall Ball Schedules The complete schedule for each division is posted below.

 Our Trip to the 2008 Little League World Series by Bonnie Akashian  Bonnie, Levon and Alex Akashian along with Clay and his wife Elisa attended this year's Little League World Series in Williamsport PA this summer. Bonnie has been so kind to share some of her insights and photos of her recent trip with all of us. Our trip to Williamsport was quite an experience. One of the reasons we went to Williamsport this year was to watch our friend Mark Bernstein from our neighboring District 31 umpire. We were lucky weather wise, experiencing for the most part, wonderful weather. The first day of the tournament was the one day with rain. Although only one game was rained out, unfortunately, it was Mark’s 8:00 p.m., prime-time plate. It’s amazing to watch the grounds crew in action. If we had that much rain, we wouldn’t have played for a week! It was a very crowded tournament this year with record breaking crowds. We watched games in both stadiums but the original stadium, Lamade Stadium, is by far nicer and more comfortable than Volunteer Stadium, which opened in 2001. Alex spent a lot of time in the pin trading area but admitted that he enjoyed trading pins more in San Bernardino. That’s probably because he’s known in San Bernardino. They do an amazing job at this tournament, using hundreds of volunteers including ushers. Of course, they need the ushers because parts of each stadium are not open to the general public and someone has to police this. Dugout appears at every game and does a wonderful job. We learned that Dugout is actually two different women and there are two uniforms, one with teeth and one without. Both of them do a great job with the players, umpires and fans and everyone has a great time with Dugout. Many of the games we saw were wonderful games. Hawaii played an amazing semi-final game and won in the 6th inning. Unfortunately, Mark would have gotten the championship plate if Hawaii had lost. Thankfully, Hawaii finished it off and won it all. One of the things that is interesting at the World Series is not only the difference between the American teams and the International teams, but the difference between the International teams themselves. Japan and Mexico were on a different playing level than Italy or Canada. There are many different levels of little league represented there. The day of the championship game was humid! That was the worst day we had. I’m glad the weather waited until we were heading home to change. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend the trip to any person involved in Little League. If any of you decide to go, Levon, Clay and I would be happy to share what we learned with you.     Adam Bender's Amazing Story  Adam Bender, 8, is one of several kids who plays catcher in Southeastern’s rookie league at Veterans Park in the state of Kentucky. What makes Adam stand out is that he plays one of the toughest positions on the field with only one leg. Because of cancer, he had his left leg amputated when he was one. Adam doesn’t use a prosthesis, and only uses crutches when he reaches base for the Astros. Since the story of 8-year old cancer survivor Adam Bender was published in the Lexington Herald-Leader, and on www.kentucky.com, on June 1, 2008, the one-legged catcher has been invited to throw out first pitches at a Chicago White Sox game, a Cincinnati Reds game, a Houston Astros game, and has been invited to a Garth Brooks benefit in Las Vegas. He is also being profiled for a story that will air on ESPN. On Sunday June 6, 2008, Adam threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Adam Dunn of the Reds. Take a look at the inspirational Video and Interview with Adam Bender.
