Florida District 9 Little League: Welcome

Serving the youth of Southwest Florida.

It's not always the Manager who wins the most that is the one who does the best job. The Manager who works to develop youngsters with little talent, who brings out consistency in more skilled players, and who teaches the lessons of life which carry into adulthood . . .although they have few awards to show for it, they ultimately are the most successful. Awards are soon forgotten, but the character instilled in children will last a lifetime.

 




Help Wanted
    Help is needed for the 2012 Tournament Season.  We need Umpire Rescue Crew Members, Security Personel, and Scorekeepers.  No experience needed.  Training will be provided.  
    Please contact Mert Leeman at  gatormert@comcast.net.


Last update of approved bats by Little League is:

May 17, 2012 for a 2 1/4" bat

2 5/8" bats must meet BBCOR standards

 



Sports do not build character. They reveal it.         Haywood Hale Broun
