50/70 PROGRAM FOR BB IS HERE TO STAY



SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (May 5, 2012) – As a result of the voting conducted online following the conclusion of the recent Region Round Tables Series, the Little League International Board of Directors has voted to support the creation of a new division of Little League Baseball that will service players league-age 11-to-13.

This new division will be offered for the 2013 regular season, and will provide postseason tournament opportunities, including a World Series. The Operations Department at Little League International is currently preparing rules and regulations for regular season and tournament play.

Local Little Leagues will have the option to charter baseball teams in the Major Division, the 11-to-13 Division, or both.

More information on this new division of Little League Baseball is forthcoming.

Little League International wishes to thank all of the leagues who participated in the 50-70 Pilot Program over the past two seasons, as well as volunteer district administrators, their volunteer staffs and the local leagues for providing input and opinions through the series of Regional Round Tables conducted in recent months.

Complete voting results of the Regional Round Tables, and the action taken by the Little League International Board of Directors is available here.

Little League Baseball and Softball is the world’s largest organized youth sports program, with nearly 2.5 million players and one million adult volunteers in every U.S. state and scores of other countries.

TEENAGE BB DIVISION CHANGES FOR 2012



 
Bulletin: Little League International today announced a change to the regulations for 2012 that will allow more options in the teenage divisions of baseball.

Effective Jan. 1, 2012:

• The Senior League Baseball Division (previously limited to players league age 14-16) may now include players league age 13-16.
... • The Big League Baseball Division (previously limited to players league age 16-18) may now include players league age 15-18.
• For Tournament Play, the age divisions will be: Junior League 13-14; Senior League 13-16; and Big League 15-18.

The Junior League Baseball Division remains for players league age 13-14 during the regular season. (Note: As before, 12-year-olds also are eligible for Junior League Baseball regular season play, under certain criteria.)

This gives local leagues wide latitude in tailoring their regular season teenage baseball divisions based on the available talent pool and age breakdown.

"All of the changes in the rules and regulations for 2012 will be announced in the next few days," Patrick W. Wilson, Senior Vice President of Operations and Program Development, said. "We wanted to get this change out to our leagues and districts sooner, however, for planning purposes."

The change also will affect pitch-count limits in Tournament Play, so the days of rest guide will apply to 13-18 year olds participating in the Senior and Big League divisions. Pitch count limits for the regular season remain the same as in 2011, based on the age of the pitcher.

CHALLENGER LEAGUES
As some of you may not know we have two new challenger leagues this year. Both Painesville and Geneva United LL will be offering the challenger division this year. Challenger league is available to kids from age 4 to 18, or up to age 22 if still in high school,  who are physically or mentally challenged. It gives them a chance to play baseball in the sun...in a supportive manner. The people who help are called "buddies" as they help the player to participate in the game. When I went to our league in Brecksville I was fortunate enough to meet a lady who was close to 80 years young. She was living in an assisted home and came to volunteer for the challenger league. Jim Cipriani (N.E.O. Challenger President), told me the old people at the home didn't do enough so she wanted to volunteer to help. She came every week and was a buddy to many kids. Friendships are made here for the goal of helping a child to play! It doesn't get simpler than that! I recommend that all our league's staff take a day and make a point of going to visit a Challenger League. So if you have a child who is challenged or if you want to volunteer your time contact the local league in your area to sign up...it will help you put into perspective life's daily routines we take for granted. Even though you may not live in Geneva or Painesville, your child is still eligible to play there so long you are in our District. The Challenger League is also available in Brecksville.
