Saturday, February 7 Updates to the Background Check Rule The old regulation regarding background checks set the minimum requirement at a statewide check of a Sex Offender Registry (SOR). Starting in 2007, leagues must now conduct a National background check of the SOR, at a minimum, which includes all nationwide government SOR registries.
1. Each league must now conduct at least a nationwide SOR check. If you have questions or concerns, contact Dan Kirby or Jim Ferguson. They can be reached by phone (570-326-1921) or by email at dkirby@littleleague.orgor jferguson@littleleague.org. Saturday, February 7 Teach Kids the Game of Baseball with"Play Ball"

Saturday, February 7 District 4 President's Manual The District 4 President's Manual is a reference tool for information, procedures, D4 forms, Little League forms, etc. It's meant to be an all-inclusive reference manual. It will be updated from time to time to reflect and include new information. There are still some glitches in the "workings" of the manual - and those will hopefully be sorted out in the near future and fixed. Handout: Presidents Handbook Saturday, February 7 Pre-Tee Ball Guide
The leagues in Georgia District 4 were the first leagues internationally in Little League to be approved to operate a program for 4 year olds. Much of that approval stemmed from the concept we had: provide a fun environment for the 4 year olds, teach them a few fundamental skills, and train Moms and Dads to be future managers and coaches.

The money you donate to Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer goes to cutting edge pediatric cancer research. Grainne and Clay Owen lost one of their twin sons, Killian, to leukemia in 2003. They have been a part of our State Leadership Conferences since 2005 in order to bring awareness of their organization to our leagues. The greatest gift we can give our children is that of hope and caring - please join Grainne and Clay and countless others in the fight against childhood cancer! Saturday, February 7 Stepping Up to the Plate
Stepping Up to the Plate and Stepping Up to the Plate; Second Inning are written on a level to be understood by young players. Quotes from players such as John Smoltz, Greg Maddox, Chipper Jones, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson and approximately 150 other Major League players tell the story of what's important in a person's character, how to achieve greatness and how to handle adversity. Each chapter of the books ends with thought-provoking questions for the reader. The books may be ordered by leagues as a fundraiser. The cost to the leagues is approximately $5 per book and leagues may then set their own selling price. The books may be ordered with sponsor advertising in the front covers - another way to promote your sponsors and get them additional recognition. David and I have discussed another opportunity for leagues - using quotes from his books on fence banner advertising in conjunction with your sponsor logos. For more information about using the books as a fundraiser, contact David at David@SteppingUpToThePlate.com. For more information about the fence banners, contact Linda at linda@northptc.com. |
