E-mail addresses change from time to time, just like telephone numbers. If you have changed your e-mail address recently, or if it is different from the one you supplied us when you registered, PLEASE send your new e-mail address to registrar@prll.org. E-Mail, along with our website, is our PRIMARY method of communication (with over 1100 players, postal mail is no longer cost-effective for us). For those of you with Spam control, you should check your Spam folders for PRLL mail.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We do NOT supply e-mail lists to advertisers. We will never sell such a list. We have no arrangements with advertisers to forward junk mail to you. Your e-mail address will not be used for any purpose other than League communications.

PARKING NOTICE:
The new parking sticker for the Verizon Wireless parking lot worked well in 2007, and is being continued in 2008. VW will not permit your entry such a sticker.
We again distributed the stickers at field clean-up in the Spring. Once you receive your sticker, please immediately place it on the back of your inside rear view mirror, where it can be seen by VW security personnel. This system has helped to address the safety concerns of Verizon Wireless, which continues to graciously extend the use of their parking facilities to us.
Any questions, please e-mail parking@prll.org .
|
Check this site or the League "cancellation hotline" 359-8666 for cancellation information. If there is no announcement, assume the games will be played. IMPORTANT -- Do NOT leave any messages or questions on the hotline machine. This will overload the system and nullify any message we leave on the line. Questions left on the machine will NOT be answered. Send your questions or comments to website@prll.org. Team-related questions go to baseball@prll.org or softball@prll.org.

HOW TO GET BETTER???
Practice, Practice, Practice
The Orangetown Batting Cages
The Sports Place, Blauvelt.
On-Track ... a new facility over the river in Tarrytown (a bit of a ride, but one of our coaches is involved, so it has to be good, right?). If you try it, let us know what you think.

THANK YOU !!

PARKING NOTICE
Because of the limited parking that's available at Anderson and the needs of the American Legion, who allow us to use the facility, we are required to restrict access to the Hunt Avenue entrance to handicapped individuals and selected volunteers. No one should park in the roadway between Bocket Field (Major Boys) and the entrance. NO ONE MAY PARK IN THE AMERICAN LEGION LOT. We ask your cooperation in using the Verizon Wireless parking lot.
Verizon Wireless has been of great assistance to us, in providing parking for our families. All they ask is that we park in the designated parking spaces (any space not marked reserved or restricted). A small minority, however, had been parking along the curbs and in restricted areas at VW. This caused the League great embarrassment, and almost caused Verizon Wireless to re-evaluate their decision to open their lots to us (which would have left the League in an untenable position). The new parking sticker policy, instituted in 2007, improved matters greatly. The identification number on the sticker helps us to identify violators. Pearl River Little League and Verizon Wireless reserve the right to rescind parking privileges to any individual or family that parks illegally at Verizon Wireless.
We urgently request that you honor our neighbor's rules and park only in the designated spaces. Thank you.
ON FIELD CLEANUP DAY IN MARCH, 2008, FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE NEW 2008 PARKING STICKERS (3 PER FAMILY) THAT MUST BE AFFIXED TO THE REAR OF THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR.

PLEASE VOLUNTEER !!
In 1953-54, the Pearl River Little League commenced operations, with a mission of providing neighborhood boys, ages 8-12, a chance to play organized baseball. Over 50 years later, that small league has grown to an organization with over 1100 young players, ages 6-16, girls and boys, playing baseball and softball. The physical growth, especially in recent years, is readily visible. Anderson Fields, the home of Pearl River Little League, with the support of our landlord and host, the American Legion, now accommodates 7 playing fields, 2 of which are lighted. Our Senior Divisions now play at parks all over Rockland County.
Less visible, but just as important, is the pure human effort required to keep pace with this physical growth. The League in 1953 could be run with a few volunteers. Today, volunteers still operate all aspects of the League, but it seems we never have enough people to do everything required. Parents are busier than ever in the workforce, and have less free time. Yet, if we are to continue to give our children the recreational opportunities they have had in the past, the effort has to come from somewhere, or more precisely, someone. Many are timid about coming forward, or think their help is not needed. Such hesitation costs our children in the long run.
The League does not generate a profit. Registration fees, high enough already, do not cover the cost of operations. The kitchen helps a great deal in bridging the gap (which is why we have a problem when parents do not show up for their kitchen assignments). A fund-raising push in the last decade, and, more recently, the addition of Fall Ball, have helped us improve the facilities, erect the lights, and add fields, but fund-raising sources are increasingly limited. On a daily basis, it is human resources that we need. Your children will appreciate anything you can do. Thank you.
