SUPPORT YOUR LEAGUE
cookout
Leagues have numerous expenses to provide the youth an opportunity to participate in their respective baseball/softball program. One way to assist your league in defraying these expenses is to take your appetite and patronize their concession stand. This holds true during the regular season or at tournament time.

REGULATION V.1

The new Regulation V.1 reads:

     The selection of players for the various teams within a league shall be in complaince with the Little League Draft Selection System as detailed in the Operating Manual.  NOTE:  All candidates who are league age twelve (12) must be drafted to a Little League Major Division team, or to a Junior League team.   Exceptions can only be made with written approval from the District Administrator, and only if approved at the local league level by the Board of Directors and the parent of the candidate.

     The purpose of this new regulation is to ensure that local leagues are using the Minor Division as a training ground, and not keeping capable 12-year-olds from "moving up"

HEADS UP NOTICE
Youth sports will be under the microscope of the IRS in the near future in regards to violation of employment tax rules.  Make sure your league can justify any paid personnel being an independent contractor and not an employee.  Agents will be looking at how much control the assocations have over their work schedules, equipment used, etc.
