We Just Need a Few More Bollards to Complete the Northern Parking Area!
Earlier this year, Jim Gerstenslager, Western Region Director, was given a directive by Williamsport to create a barrier between Little League Drive and the northern parking lot of the Western Region complex. It had been suggested that a series of posts and a sturdy chain would stop vandals that were using the area for their own personal enjoyment with no regard to the Little League’s property. An idea was concocted that a series of concrete baseballs and softballs would certainly due the job but the cost did seem out of the question. However, after some research and some negotiation we came upon a company that was local to the complex and would delight in creating the diverters for us. It will take a combination of 60 concrete baseballs or softballs to complete the north parking lot project. When this is completed, the same type project is planned for the south parking lot.
These diverters are called Bollards you will see them at schools, public parks and roads throughout the country. Our Western Region bollards are unique because not only will they do the job as requested by Williamsport but it is an opportunity for leagues, districts and individuals throughout the region to have their own personal testimonial to Little League, but also a small portion of the donation will go to the maintenance and upkeep of our Western Region complex. The 1200 pound white baseballs or optic yellow softballs are made of white concrete, and placed on a foundation formed in the shape of a home plate. They are secured by bolts and are sprayed with a chemical so that graffiti can be easily removed. A 4”x6”cutout strategically placed on the ball so that a bronze plaque can be inserted with your league, district, organization or family name. There is no limit to the number of characters to be placed on the plaque, but keep in mind that the more characters the smaller the font. If you want the Little League logo on your plaque there is an additional charge of $85.00. The total price (with logo) is $785.00 and this includes the installation. If you want to participate in this worthwhile project, and leave a personal testimonial to the Western Region, please CLICK HERE, to download an application and instructions on how you can participate in this important project. There is a limited amount of spaces so orders will be taken on a first come, first served basis.

BETTER COACHES, BETTER GAMES, BETTER LEAGUES
Managers and coaches are among the most important volunteers in the Little League® program. They have to know the game and they have to love working with kids. Leagues with knowledgeable, caring and concerned coaches have an advantage when it comes to making the games fun and retaining players.
That’s why Little League® International created The Coaches Registry. The registry gives coaches exclusive tools and resources to prepare them for the job of putting the Little League program into action. To register in the program, and download useful tools and information to find out how this program can help you become a better manager or coach, click here!
