Vestal Little League: Welcome

Vestal Little League

2008 FALL BALL SEASON

The Vestal Little League Fall Baseball Season is upon us. Fall Ball is a chance for our players to keep in tune and play some fun baseball until the weather turns too bad to play.

Fall Ball is open to all players that played Vestal Little League ages 8 – 12. It is a non-competitive league, we don’t keep a book and there are NO PRACTICES. Games are played on Sunday Afternoons and there are no rain make ups if the weather does not cooperate.

While we have a broad age range playing, we make the play environment safe for all players. Pitchers throw at the appropriate speeds for the ages and ability of the batters at the plate. This is a league designed for the players to have the maximum amount of fun…. Think of it simply as just a fun “pick up game” of baseball.

SPECIAL NOTE - Parents will be required to help get the fields ready for play one day before the first day of play (to be determined) and to help a few minutes before each game to prepare the fields for play each Sunday. This job should not be placed on the coaches as they have already donated a large amount of their time with the players.

Vestal Little League uses the cut off date for determining age of April 30th. You can use the 200 Age Chart to determine your players age for the 2008 season.

Simply choose your players birth month and look down the chart for the players birth year. This will give you your players "Little League Age".

* Please consider joining the Vestal Little League Auxiliary. For starters, our members help operate the Concession Stand at Angelo Field, organize Picture Day, and plan the End-of-the-Season Banquet. We have traditionally had a great group of moms and dads to help make all of our jobs easier. Our next Auxiliary meeting will be in March. Date and time will be posted here. Check back in February

* Each Team Manager will be looking for a Team Parent to help with team communication. The Team Parent will collect required paperwork for the Manager and communicate important team and league information. The Team Parent will be responsible for scheduling parents to work in the Concession Stand. If you are interested in becoming a Team Parent, please contact your Team Manager. Every parent is required by the League to work at least once, sometimes twice, in the concession stand during the season.

* Other Volunteer Opportunities: Field Clean –Up workers, Scorekeepers, Team Sponsors
