Tryouts for the Majors will be held on Sunday March 11 between 12-4pm at the Vestal High School Gym. Players returning to Majors do not try out and will be placed on a Majors team during the redraft. Tryouts for the Minors will be held on Sunday March 18 between 12-4pm at the Vestal High School Gym. Players returning to Minors do not try out, they will be placed on the same Minors team they played for last year.

Major League Redraft Implementation |
|
Consistent
with the direction of Little League International, and the trend of
many Little Leagues throughout the country, Vestal Little League
utilizes a "re-draft" each season in the Major League. Players in Majors
do not remain with the same team from year to year; rather each year
players will be selected to a new team the following season in an
effort to maintain parity among the league teams. Once a player is
drafted on a Major League team, he or she will remain in the Majors but
will be selected on a different team the following season. Those 10,
11 and 12 year old players not on a Major League team will tryout as in
the past and are eligible to be drafted after existing players are
selected.

Vestal Little League Auxiliary |
|
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. 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 in Majors and Minors is required by the League to work at least once, sometimes twice, in the concession stand during the season. Other Volunteer Opportunities include Field Clean–Up and preparation, Scorekeepers, Team Sponsors Ready to volunteer? Questions? Contact Kathy Avery at kathyavery@stny.rr.com |
