Trenholm Baseball: Welcome

Softball evaluations moved to Tuesday

For all our softball players, parents and coaches:  We’re postponing our evaluations from Thursday, Feb. 16, to Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 6 p.m. Between players and coaches who cannot be present and the rain, we think it best to postpone.

Majors and minors try out

Majors and minors players tried out Wednesday night. The coaches watched the playes hit, run and throw, and then picked the players for their teams. Games will start in early March.

About 40 players showed up Tuesday night for Coaches Pitch evaluations. They hit, caught and threw while the coaches watched. The coaches will be contacting their new players this week. Schedules will be out soon.

Become a Little League sponsor

Funds for league expenses are raised through sponsorships of teams. Sponsorship costs $300 per team per season or $500 per year, which includes a sponsorship of one team for both the spring and fall softball seasons. The sponsor’s name appears on the back of each player’s jersey for the team sponsored, and sponsors receive recognition plaques after the season. If you would like to sponsor a 2012 Little League team, please contact Jack Duncan at (803) 951-2388. More information here.

Trenholm Little League board of directors meetings

Board meetings are held at 3:30 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month at Trenholm Park.

New to Little League?

For the newcomer, any organized youth sport can be bewildering, be it soccer, football, baseball or basketball. You may find yourself asking lots of questions.  How much time should my child spend on baseball? What is the risk of injury? What if my child appears to be stressed by his participation on the team? The Little League site has answers for these and other questions. These sections are specifically for parents:

• Parent Orientation Program
• What about my child?
• Communicating with the coach
• The parent's role
  

And please talk to your coach or a Trenholm Little League officer if you have concerns or questions.  

Recently Little League placed a moratorium on composite-barreled bats for Majors, Minors, Coach Pitch and Tee-Ball divisions. This is the latest list of approved bats.
