OREGON DISTRICT 9 LITTLE LEAGUE®
BASEBALL & SOFTBALL
serving families (youth ages 5 through 18) in Lane, Douglas and Coos Counties with -
We're working toward growing a Senior Division for 2009 - for Baseball and Girls' Softball ! Much will depend on the local interest and numbers registering.
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 its their "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 growth and changes across our District!
BREAKING NEWS:
"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 !!

SAFETY/"DUSK" Notice
Our leagues had several really fun Special Games Events in 2008 - and are looking toward even more in 2009 (including invitations to teams from other Districts) !
If you and your family aren't busy when there are "Special Games" or Tournament games going on across the district, this is a great 'family opportunity' to come out and watch a different sport or a different level of the sport your child is participating in! Check the page out and see who's coming to District 9 for these events - or which teams are playing against each other!!
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. * We're proud to introduce you to Oregon District 9 Leagues: * Click on the league name to visit their individual website, find their e-mail address and contact telephone number (in the directory column on the website) ...
