Late Registration News and Info



Thanks to all parents, guardians and players who made it out to our late registration session last weekend! The PHLL Board of Directors wants to make sure we give everyone every chance they need to sign up for LL baseball and softball so we're holding one more late registration! The date is this Friday, February 17, 2012.

 Please come by the Little League concession stand at 9801 La Paz NW between 6pm and 7pm to sign your child (ren) up for Spring ball! Please see registration news and info for what to bring and the cost of registration. Please have your checkbook handy and we'll see you there! 

Also, for those who still need to bring in their child's birth certificate or any other missing registration forms, you can bring in the paperwork at this late registration. For players who need to tryout, all missing registration documentation must be in the player's file by their tryout date or they will not be permitted to tryout. Thank You.

Tryout Dates and Times

The chill is in the air and the players are raring to go! It's Go-Time at PHLL with tryouts beginning on Saturday February 11, 2012!

The first tryout is complete and was called a "mashing success" by the PHLL Board of Directors! Round two is this weekend. Please review times below.

FOR THOSE WHO STILL HAVE MISSING DOCUMENTATION, PLEASE HAVE IT READY TO TURN IN AT CHECK-IN TABLE.

THANK YOU!

Here's the schedule for the next two weekends at Paradise.

League Age Chart For Baseball and Softball

Parents have been asking for a guide to player-ages, so league president, Patrick "Coach P" Garcia has taken the age chart we use at registration and shunken it down to a nice PDF sized document for your inspection. Please take a look at the handout link.

Get Ready For Tryouts at the PHLL Skills Clinic!



Thanks to all players who made it out to the annual PHLL skills clinic! Thanks also to Coach James Trujillo for putting together a great program that made the clinic a success! Coach James, Allstar coach Chris Orona and their crew of local high school players, helped several young players sharpen their skills for tryouts and for their LL season. Thanks to this year's guest instructor, former Lobo and professional pitcher, Kevin Andersh for lending his time and expertise to the kids of Paradise Hills at this year's clinic. Kevin, as many BB fans know is the Head Baseball Coach at Volcano Vista HS. Thanks Coach, and please feel free to join us anytime this season for some "small ball"!
