No Split Season for 2009
KDLL had considered a split season for 2009. In addition to the traditional spring season, we proposed to offer baseball during July and August for those children that play exclusively in Kemptville (i.e., Teeball to Novice divisions). Unfortunately, we received insufficient interest. We'll try again next year.
Changes for 2009
The following program changes apply for the 2009 season:
1. We have eliminated BlastBall from our program. To accommodate four-year-old children, we have extended the age for Teeball division to include ages four to six.
2. We plan to hold the traditional year-end Fun Day earlier in the season, in late June.
KDLL Executive
Thanks to those persons who volunteered to take on positions this year. As you will notice, some positions remain vacant. If you are interested in filling any position, please contact the league secretary or president. There WILL be baseball in Kemptville in 2009. The more volunteers that help out, the better the program we'll offer.
