The 2012 Pennsylvania State Little League Baseball Tournament is coming to Stroudsburg. Eight teams of 11 – 12 year-old players, from all corners of Pennsylvania will compete in a double elimination tournament from July 22^nd – 29^th, 2012. The winner advances to the United States East Regional bracket in Bristol Connecticut, the final stop en route to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

In order to host this tournament we will need a lot of help from all of our Stroudsburg Little League families. There are 7,070 Little League organizations around the world. Each year approximately 2.5 million children between the ages of 5 – 16 participate in Little League sports. All of this is done almost entirely by volunteers such as you, who are willing to create an opportunity like this for children in their communities. Stroudsburg League Officials welcome interested volunteers to a tournament organization meeting at the Hughes Library, in the Community Room, 1002 North 9^th Street, Stroudsburg on Tuesday January 31^st at 7 p.m. If you can’t make this meeting, please hit reply and join our volunteer list.

Here are some of the positions we will need filled for our 2012 season.

· Registration Volunteers -- Every Saturday in February from 9 AM – 12 PM, we will need volunteers to assist families in registering. You will only need to make sure every form is complete and legible.

· Housing Coordinator – We need someone to work with the vacation agency and identify specific hotels to house participants and their families. During the tournament you will distribute welcome packages and make sure check in goes smoothly for our guest families.

· Host Family (x8) – We will have 8 teams with 12 – 14 children each. We would like each team to have a person in Stroudsburg that knows the area. You will serve as a contact person for single team, answering questions, giving directions etc.

· Food/Shack Coordinator – We will need someone to organize shack workers, make sure shack is supplied during events, and make sure post game meals are organized for teams.

· Parking Coordinator -- Organize parking attendants into shifts.

· Field Maintenance – We will need both our fields in perfect conditions. If you have a green thumb, please help us getting the facilities in tip top shape.

· iScore and Webcast – We will be attempting to use iScore to broadcast the scorecards for families that can’t travel to these games. We will also attempt to webcast video. If you love your iPad and can help out or if you have mad web skillz and can help us with broadcasting these games, please let us know.

· Sponsors – If the business you own or work at would like to host an event, make a donation, or advertise, we could use your help.

· Other Opportunities – The positions above all require someone to step up but each one of those positions will need additional volunteers to help the Coordinators. We need people to work in the snack shack during games, parking attendants, score-keepers, announcers, scoreboard operators.
