NEW BATS
NOTICE TO PARENTS, PLAYERS AND LEAGUES: IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A NEW COMPOSITE METAL BAT FOR USE IN LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL (Major Division and below), BE SURE THAT THE BAT YOU ARE PURCHASING HAS THIS MARKING: BPF 1.15 ON THE BARREL OR HANDLE OF THE BAT. IF NOT, IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES. Little League officials are aware that there are bats for sale in stores, online or that may have already been purchased that are Little League approved, but do not have the required bat performance standard (BPF) markings. In fact, some of the bats on the Little League approved bat list may not carry the required BPF 1.15 marking on the bat, depending on when they were manufactured and licensed. Currently manufacturers are conducting an inventory and re-testing of all approved bats. The results of this study / retesting is to be finished by March 31, 2009. We are building a list of certain bats that are approved, but do not have the BPF marking due to special circumstances. For these bats, we are extending eligibility for play until December 31, 2009. As we are made aware of bats that meet our criteria for this extension, we will add them to the list. Please check this list regularly for updates. HOWEVER, ONLY BATS WITH THE BPF 1.15 MARKING AND THE BATS ON THIS LIST WILL BE ALLOWED FOR PLAY IN 2009. Bats with the special exception include the following: Adidas Vanquish Blue design (There is a newer model of this bat, also named the Vanquish and it has copper and black markings. It contains the proper labeling and therefore is not subject to the one-year rule). DeMarini - Black Coyote, Rogue, Distance, Rumble, Tengu, Mach 10, Patriot Easton - LZ-810, LZ-800, Stealth Optiflex LST 1, Louisville Slugger - YB31 NIKE - Areo
N.E.O. CHALLENGER BASEBALL TO HOST 2009 STATE TOURNAMENT
The Northeast Ohio Challenger Baseball League has been selected to host the 2009 Ohio State Challenger Baseball Tournaments. “This opportunity comes only once every 14 years,” says Jim Cipriani, administrator for the local district of the Greater Cleveland area.
Challenger Baseball is a national program that was established in Congress, sponsored by Senator Bob Dole and chartered through Little League Baseball, Inc. in 1989. By 1990 there were more than 22,000 players participating in the program and today it is estimated that over 100,000 children across the nation are playing. The Challenger division is a specially structured league for mentally and physically challenged children ages five to 18 and provides an atmosphere that accommodates unrestricted play. Volunteers known as “Buddies” are on hand to assist children that need help batting, running bases and fielding. The Northeast Ohio league, also known as NEO Challenger, celebrated their 15th year last summer. Over those years hundreds of children from all over the Greater Cleveland area have enjoyed the benefits of strengthening their self-esteem and the disciplines of teamwork and sportsmanship, opportunities that may not exist without the Challenger League. There are 14 leagues across the Buckeye State. Each year a league is selected to host the tournament based on their resources and ability to accommodate the event. Under careful consideration Veterans Memorial Park (formerly known as State Road Park) was chosen by the staff of NEO because of its convenient location to area hotels and highways, the number of ball fields, parking and handicap accessible facilities, as well as the support of the City of Parma. “We really hit a homerun by being selected as the host city for this very special sports program,” said Parma Mayor Dean DePiero. Parma Recreation Director Mickey Vittardi added “We plan to give these young VIP’s the red carpet treatment.” The 2009 tournament will be held on July 18th and 19th. NEO anticipates over 500 players along with 1,500 family members, coaches and volunteers. A major supporter of the tournaments is the Ohio State Highway Patrol that will participate in the opening ceremonies along with their Color Guard. The Troopers will also present trophies and awards to all players at the conclusion of the last ball game on Sunday. Sponsorship and donations are critically needed to meet the expenses that are required for a successful event. Donations may be made at any Key Bank location in the name of “The Challenger Tournament.” NEO is also looking for volunteers to fill the many committees that are being created. For sponsorship and volunteer information please contact Jim Cipriani at 440-526-0394. Sunday, December 7

Beginning with the 2009 Little League Baseball 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. Also, in effect for the 2009 season is the requirement that 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.

PARENT CONDUCT
One of the most important things that you can do as a Little League parent is to show positive support of all players. While many parents are often very enthusiastic when watching their child's games, it is important that you do not get overly involved, taking personal offense to official calls or decisions made by coaches and umpires. Most of the time, these decisions are made in reference to official game rules that you may not be familiar with. If you have a question about an official call or rule, you should contact the coach after the game, or call the Little League Regional Office. These rules are enforced simply for the safety of your child, ensuring that he/she will have a positive Little League experience. Handout: PARENT CONDUCT
