Neartown Little League: News

The City of Houston and the Parks Department are continuing to make meaningful progress on the reconstruction of Weber Field located on the grounds of Chew Park.

It has been a multi-month process for the City that has been repeatedly interrupted by rain delays. Neartown Little League has been a partner with the City ever since the park's remodeling and is very much looking forward to the completion of the project.

Ever since seeing how last year's drought absolutely destroyed the grounds, we have known that once the work is complete, it will be a fantastic field and well worth the wait. As of this week of May 14th, the permanent irrigation system is complete and the final steps of putting sod down on the infield are being arranged.

Everyone here at the League (Managers, Coaches and Board Members alike) are very appreciative of the tremendous patience of the players and their parents and hope you are also looking forward to the new and improved Weber Field, ready for use during our Fall Ball Season!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to eat at Bullritos the Monday after Opening Day.  Because of your help, Bullritos has already mailed us a check for our portion of the day's NLL coupon sales and the proceeds will cover the cost of a complete set of balls for the entire T-Ball Division!

We will be having the Apple iPad / iPod touch / Nano Raffle again this year instead of selling candy.  Winning tickets will be drawn at Closing Day Ceremonies and you do not need to be present to win.  When you register, please choose to either:

Donate $50 at registration and get 10 chance to win

During the season, find 20 friend to buy tickets at $5 each for a chance to win

We appreciate your assistance in selling raffle tickets to raise funds for Neartown as it significantly helps offset our increasing field maintenance and operating expenses.
