Be Kind to your Umps!
Getting ready for the season involves a lot of things! One thing that always seems to slip under the cracks is arming your umps with knowledge. Anyone can order a rule book now...they are no longer guarded material...so please when your season starts...order rule books for your volunteer umpires...depending on the new rates, extra rule books are only $2 for a league to order...$7 for individuals.

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.

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.
