NOTICE:
After a full season of "Every Kid Plays" in your local Little League, players ages 9 through 18 have an opportunity toward election to Tournament/All Star Teams - "Icing On The Cake" for approximately 5% of the regular season kids in any given league. The number of teams (by age) that can enter these tournaments is structured, thus limiting the number of potential participants. Commitment to the "new team" into the summer, and the best of sportsmanship are also major factors. Information about tournaments being held in District 9 (including the State Tournament), as known at this time, are posted on the "2009 Post-Season Tournament" page in our Directory! The tournament scheduling may not be 'right on the mark' to what is posted here, but we're doing our best to keep it updated !
The local District tournament box scores can be found at the link at the top of the "2009 Post-Season Tournament" page - and will be updated as often as possible ! This page also includes a recognition list of our local All Star teams!
To monitor "State Tournaments" across Oregon visit Oregon Little League.
That site will be updated as information is provided their webmaster.District 9 is hosting the State Little League Baseball Tournament in Eugene July 22nd-29th. More information regarding all tournaments held in District 9 are included in our "2009 Post-Season Tournament" page. For those "not so knowledgeable about Little League," this tournament is for players ages 11 & 12 who are 'elected' to represent their league from "regular season" Major teams. The state winner advances to the Regional Tournament in San Bernardino, California with the possibility of advancing to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania!

Little League is fairly 'new" to Lane County - having chartered the first-ever Little League here in January 2002 ! Our "District" organization is also chartered with Little League® and, like each of the District 9-associated leagues, is registered as a non-profit in Oregon as well as affiliated with the Federal Tax Exempt group for Little League Baseball and Softball, Inc. ®
In an evolving process, we continue to center league attention on developing smaller boundaried areas so folks feel it is TRULY their "local neighorhood" Little League! We have changed from one VERY large league boundary to 5 leagues focused on 'hometown' development to serve smaller portions of the big picture. "Stay Tuned!" for additional changes and smaller "neighborhood" focused development across our District!
IMPORTANT NEWS with a focus on CHILD SAFETY:
Check out Little League's focus on "Child Protection" via the web - from background/sex offender registry checks to learning how you can become better educated about "Child Abuse Prevention" ... Little League has tools for Little League Boards and for volunteers!
"Fifty years from now ... ... perhaps even just a moment away ...
it won't matter who struck out, who got a home run, or who dropped a fly ball
in your Little League game, but the world will be a better place because
YOU
took the time to
Make A Positive Difference in the life of at least One Child! " For both Adults and Kids involved in Little League® - where the focus is appropriately on Child Development and ALL the kids are playing our heartstrings - there is an abundance of avenues and opportunities to make a positive difference! Make "Best Use" of each and every moment you're gifted with ... that ONE moment may be your only opportunity with that particular child !!

"SPECIAL GAMES" were a WINNER for 2008 -and we had some local "Special Games" calendared for 2009! Some of our teams participated in events hosted by other Districts as well! Check with your local league contact to see what may be on their schedule for both regular season and special game events this year! If you are looking for information specific to one of our chartered Little Leagues,
click on the League Name below or on the "Our Leagues" in the directory.
Each league's website generally will provide 'league-specific' dates, events, and contact information'. IMPORTANT - with respect to Birth Certificates: At pre-season registrations, the league representative must view an original or certified copy of a government-issued birth certificate to certify the child's 'age', plus three varied proof of residence documents to show the child legally resides within the boundaries of the league. Common documents are: one drivers' license, one vehicle registration, one utility bill - each showing the address that is a 'legal residence' for the child. (*multiple utility bills = 1 proof of residence document) ** PER the State of California, the "CALIFORNIA ABSTRACT OF BIRTH" is no longer considered a valid proof of age effective post 9-11. Thousands of "blank documents" were found to be missing and discovered as used for fraudulent 'proof of birthdate." The county recorder for the area where the individual was born will work with families direct to provide a valid document in exchange for free ... but it must be done through the County Recorder in California. California does not recognize the Abstract as a legal document; neither does Little League.
