Dry Creek Baseball: Welcome
Some items that need to be clarified:
FOR PLAYERS 12 AND UNDER -- THEY CANNOT SWING THE BAT EXCEPT WHEN AT THE PLATE. THAT MEANS NOT IN THE GRASS, NOT IN THE OUTFIELD, -- NOWHERE. THERE IS NO ON DECK CIRCLE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE FOR 10 YEARS. THE INJURY RATE HAS DRAMATICALLY BEEN REDUCED SINCE THIS RULE CAME INTO EFFECT.
Only a player may warm up the pitcher. No adults can warm up the pitcher and the player must have a catcher's helmet on.
Please send scores to both me (rcrew1@aol.com) and Don Henderson (donaldhenderson@earthlink.net). Don will be gone from June 2nd through June 14th. I will be doing the scores during that time.
Umpires are only provided for ages 8 and up. TBall and Modified TBall do not keep score.
If you need any equipment, i.e. pitching rubbers, shin guards, I will be back in Denver late Thursday night and leaving Friday afternoon for Arizona. I have a short window Friday morning to go to the storage shed to get anything. I will most likely leave the equipment on Scott Higgins front porch and you will have to pick it up there.
We are officially chartered with Little League International in Williamsport, PA. Little League Baseball, Incorporated is a non-profit organization whose mission is to "to promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball and Softball."
Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.
You will notice the registration fee for 2011 has been REDUCED. Dry Creek will no longer be including the cost of "Dry Creek at the Rockies" in the registration. We WILL still have "Dry Creek at the Rockies" but will collect the cost separately for players, siblings and parents.
