If your child is league age 6-11, and you wish to participate in our Minors baseball division, please read the following carefully as a few changes will be implemented in 2010. VSLL will be introducing a new division in Minors this Spring. Instead of our traditional choices of machine pitch and kid pitch, we will be splitting Minors into A, AA and AAA divisions. Level A will be machine pitch. (Recommended ages are 6-7.) AA will be a combination of machine/coach/kid pitch. (An introductory level of kid pitch. Recommended ages are 8-9.) AAA will be the highest level of kid pitch. This will be the level just below the Majors division. (Recommended ages are 9-11.) During registration, you will be asked to choose a level for your child. This is a request only. Final placement in Minors will be determined by the number of participants in the division and skill assessments, which are mandatory. All 6 year olds who wish to play in the Minors, will be placed in Level A, Machine pitch. There will be no changes in Minors Softball.

Registration can be completed online by simply clicking on the link below.

Congratulations 10/11 D2 VSLL Champs!!

Congratulations to VSLL 9/10 Softball who won VSLL's 4th consecutive D2 title.

They came out of the loser's bracket, forced the "if" game and won it 12-2 in 4 innings.

Congratulations to the Majors Yankees on their District 2 County Tournament win!!

Manager John Capra - Yankees.

"This was an extremely grueling tournament for our team because we had to play 8 games in 8 days and made it 9 days to finish the championship game. To go 11-0 is a great accomplishment by our team because the competition was extremely tough this year. As a coach, I have been fortunate to be part of Little League State Championship 9/10 team, AAU/USSSA tournament championships and local Cocoa Expo championships. But I have never had to win 11 games to win one tournament. Great job by our players staying focused and wanting to finish strong. And to my assistant coaches Chris Hintz and Mike McLoughlin who did a great job helping me get the most out of these players. The reward for that is we have 7 players that made VSLL all-star teams...3 on the 12's; 2 on the 11's and 2 on 9/10's. Job well done and total team effort."
