Dear Lower Perk Member: 

We sincerely hope you have enjoyed the 2009 LPLL Season thus far!  We have been working hard to improve the league on many fronts - but now we need your help!  As part of our drive for continuous improvement, we are conducting a survey of our managers to help us learn where we are strong as well as identify areas in which we can improve. 

It will take just a few minutes to evaluate the manager for your child's LPLL Baseball or Softball team. If you have children on multiple teams, please respond for each team separately.

This feedback will provide us with valuable information concerning Lower Perk, our instruction of baseball and softball fundamentals and better position us to improve the overall experience for our little leaguers!  

It is fast, and it is simple.  Please follow this link – we promise you’ll be done in minutes:

Thank you in advance for your feedback – look for upcoming additional surveys on the facilities and the overall LPLL experience.  This is OUR league – let’s work together to make it the best one we can!  

The Board of Directors 

Lower Perkiomen Little League

Fall Ball 2009

Registration for FALL BALL 2009 will begin online in August.

The Little League Fall Ball Program is a Training and Development program.  It is provided as an instructional program to allow players to begin play “at the next level” to experience the format at the next level of play, to be provided an opportunity to play new positions, and to hone their skills at old ones.  There are NO playoff, tournament, or All Star games.  Players are grouped according to their playing age for the 2010 Season.  To the extent possible, all games will be played “in-house.”  It is currently anticipated that all games will be played on the weekend at Skippack Township’s Palmer Park or Skippack Elementary School.

For those of you with sons who “graduated” from Little League Baseball this spring, our Fall program offers an excellent opportunity for them to begin the transition to a regulation field (90’ bases) and new base running experiences (yes, they can finally take a lead!).  Junior / Senior League home games will be played at either Jeanne Rossett French Memorial Park (aka “French Field”) on Township Line Road in Skippack Township (about a mile from Palmer Park) or on the Heckler Road Field at Palmer Park.

Beginning with the 2009 Little League Baseball season, all non-wood bats used in Little League Baseball Divisions and below shall be printed with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less. 

Also, in effect for the 2009 season, baseball bats with a diameter of 2 ¾ inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division of Baseball.
 
Baseball bats with a 2 5/8-inch diameter are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior, Senior and Big League).
 
The "minus-3" requirement - overall weight (in ounces) of a bat can be no more than three ounces below the overall length (in inches) of the bat - remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is NOT a requirement in Junior Baseball.
