CHANGES TO THE

POSTED BY LITTLE LEAGUE INTL
Below is a synopsis of the significant changes to the Rules and Regulations for 2010 in the divisions noted, as of this date.
The exact wording of the Rules and Regulations noted will be provided in the coming weeks. It is expected that rule books will be available soon as well.
(Note: Unless noted otherwise, these changes apply to all divisions)

Regulation IV (a) - Junior League: Added language making it clear that when a 12-year-old player is found to be ineligible under this regulation, that player and/or his/her team are subject to removal from the International Tournament by action of the Tournament Committee.
Regulation VI - Note 4: Added language making it clear that a resumed game or contest decided by forfeit does not constitute a "game" for the purpose of this regulation, unless one completed inning was played before the game ended or the game was forfeited.
Regulation XIV (e): Added language making it clear that alcohol is prohibited at the game site.
PLAYING RULES
Rule 1.10: Added language making it clear that any bat that has been altered must be removed from play.
Rule 1.11 (h): Added language making it acceptable for Junior, Senior and Big League players to wear metal spikes or cleats. (Added for softball only. This rule already applies to these divisions in baseball.)

Rule 1.14: Standardized the limits on the size of fielders' gloves.

NOTES
Various Regulations, Regular Season Rules, and Tournament Rules: The deadline for submitting forms that deal with Tournament Eligibility - i.e., regular season player roster forms, Regulation II (d) and Regulation IV (h) forms, waiver requests, chartering, fee payments, combined teams and interleague play forms, etc. - is June 8, 2010.
Adults and Minors in Positions of Authority: Changes were made to Rule 2.00, Rule 4.1, Rule 9.01, Rule 9.03, Rule 9.04, and the Tournament Rules and Guidelines, making it clear that Minors may serve as coach or umpire under specific and limited circumstances as noted in each rule. (Summary: A coach who is 16 or 17 may only serve as a coach if the adult manager and another adult coach are appointed. A person who is not an adult may serve in a game as an umpire, including as plate umpire, provided one or more other adults are also umpires for that game. However, that non-adult umpire cannot be designated as umpire-in-chief for that game. The umpire-in-chief is not required to be the plate umpire.)

Umpires Needed for Minors, Majors & Juniors
Please contact UIC Randy Morris at UIC@MurphyCanyonLittleLeague.com if you are interested in volunteering as an umpire for the Minors, Majors and Juniors divisions.
This season every team is required to have an umpire at each game, regardless if it played at home or away.
Field umpires and plate umpires are desperately needed in our league. We would like to encourage Dads, Moms, older siblings (14 or older) and other family members to come out and volunteer as a MCLL umpire.

Hello Murphy Canyon Little League Families,
First, I would like to officially introduce myself, I am Shannon Thomas, the 2009-2010 MCLL President. My wife Josie and I have 3 boys. We have lived in the Murphy Canyon community for 5 years. Since moving here, I have been an active volunteer with Murphy Canyon Little League. Over the years I have had the pleasure of managing and coaching my son’s teams in the T-ball and Rookies divisions. My first year on the Board of Directors came last year as the Rookies Player Agent. At the beginning of September, I officially took the reins from Mark Gallagher as the new MCLL President.
As we begin the new Little League Fall Ball season, it looks like the start of another great year. We have more players assigned to 7 teams, then we have ever had sign up for Fall Ball at MCLL, and we’re looking forward to an exciting season. I would like to thank our handful of volunteers who pulled together to make all this happen. Although we plan out our schedule between the off seasons, it really doesn’t come together until a couple weeks before the season actually starts. It can be a hectic time, with only a few volunteers, but everything seems to fall into place.
We’ve had a very successful break since our Spring Ball season ended; we’ve accomplished a lot of maintenance on the fields, and continue to make the fields of MCLL the best in the District. The dugouts and buildings at Damato were treated to a new coat of paint while the work done on the fence line at Santo will help keep balls from rolling under the fence. Our Board Members and Chief Selectees from the USS Peleliu and Comphibron Three devoted many hours to our field improvements in preparation for the Fall Ball Season. While you are out at the ball games this season, help us keep our fields looking great by putting your trash in the cans provided.
During the off season we have also started a new email system and we are using Fall Ball to test it out. Please let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions on how we can improve on it. Be sure to add @MurphyCanyonLittleLeague.com to your list of mail contacts.
As always, there is room for more volunteers during our baseball seasons. Murphy Canyon Little League is run 100% by dedicated volunteers. Without our volunteers, the league wouldn’t be possible. There are positions available now, so please don’t hesitate to jump on board, even if only for a small event. The positions on our Board of Directors, Managers, Coaches, Umpires and Team Moms/Parents are all volunteers making a difference in the lives of your children. Now is your chance to start making a difference too! Training is available for all positions; just let us know what you are interested in.
As the President of MCLL I would just like to say, if you need anything please do not hesitate to email me or my board. If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can make our league better, please send them our way. All Board Member email addresses can be found on our website at www.MurphyCanyonLittleLeague.com. We are here to make your kids baseball experience the best and most rewarding.
Lastly, let’s all get out there and have fun, and support the kids during their season. After all, Little League is all about the kids.
Shannon Thomas

Last week, Ronmithz Lacson and Jamnis Lacy brought their artistic talents to Damato field to create a handpainted MCLL logo on the back of the dugout at Little Damato. Hours were spent on perfecting the details of our official logo. Great job guys!
