Florida District 9 Little League: Welcome

Serving the youth of Southwest Florida since 1962.




Congratulations!!
 
Our own Florida District 9 Umpire in Chief, Jeff Ward has been recommended to Umpire in the 2013 Little League Softball World Series in Portland, OR, starting in August.  Jeff has been active in in umpiring and training for many years.  He is well deserving of this honor for his umpiring skill and commitment to Little League.  Thanks for all your hard work over the years Jeff and have a great time in Portland.
 


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.

 



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

The District will be having monthly Umpire Meetings/Clinics every 3rd Saturday of the month starting in September.  All Umpires, Board Members, Coaches, or anyone wanting to learn more about Little League Umpiring are encouraged to attend.  Time is 1:00 PM at the Fort Myers American Fieldhouse.  The District Umpire test will be given monthly at the conclusion of the meeting.
