Message from President Dominic Martinez
Whittier Little League Families, As the new President, I would like to welcome you to the 2013 Whittier Little League baseball season. I have been involved with Whittier Little League for the past 9 years. I started off as a dad on the bleachers and then took a more active role as a manager/coach for 9 seasons, board member for 5 years, to this year’s President of the league. Over time, I’ve had the extreme pleasure of meeting and befriending many people. For me, this is a huge part of what our league is about. Many that I have spoken to, networked with, and worked with; know that I care a great deal about this league and all the kids that have played here. Nothing brings me more joy than to have a kid that I have coached, whether it be last year or 8 years ago say, “Hey coach!” or to have a parent or grandparent of a child that I have coached tell me the same thing. Through the years I have seen this league grow, not in numbers but in strength. One thing has always stood strong and that is the hard work of all the volunteers, board of directors, and families. The bonds that are gained by playing Whittier Little League are like none other. I have been around other organizations; and although they are also good and successful, the “Baseball Family” that people gain when playing with our league is second to none. I, along with the other members of our board encourage you to take time to smell the fresh cut grass and get involved with our league. This is a 100% volunteer league with people that care not only about their children but ALL kids that play in our league. Numerous hours go into the behind the scenes duties that get this league functioning; and although we know nothing is perfect, we all do our best for the kids. This goes for our managers, coaches, team parents, umpires, and parents as well. Without any of them, Whittier Little League would not be what it is today. I would like to thank all those that have put forth the effort in helping us get this season started. None of this should go unnoticed, and I promise to all of you that it does not. I along with my board of directors truly appreciate your work. And to my fellow volunteers on the board, I, thank you for all the thoughts, work and time away from your families that you have spent in helping get this season to where we are now. You are all truly amazing people. Now, its time for all of us to sit back, cheer and enjoy the game of baseball with our loved ones. Let us all appreciate the game for what it is and the kids for what they are. Because as Tommy Lasorda said, “There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens.” Best of luck to all of our teams this season, and remember that no matter what team you’re on, Coach Dominic hopes you win…. Dominic Martinez, Whittier Little League President

WHITTIER LITTLE LEAGUE GENERAL INFORMATION
WHITTIER LITTLE LEAGUE GENERAL INFORMATION Parents have called requesting information about our league regarding practices, game times, and locations. Information on these topics can be found on this website. Here is some general information about Whittier Little League. All our games will be played at Orchard Dale Elementary located on the corner or Mulberry Drive and Cole Road. Our Junior Division (ages 13 & 14) play at York Field. Our season usually begins on the first week of March and runs through the first week of June. Games are held on Saturdays at the beginning of the season with weekday games (Monday-Thursday) beginning once Daylight Savings time occurs. Practices are usually held twice a week at local schools or parks. The location, days, and times are set by the Manager of the team. T-Ball Players (ages 4 to 7) do not attend try-outs. They are automatically placed on a team. T-Ball Minor and T-Ball Major divisions are considered developmental, and the fundamentals of Little League Baseball are taught to these players. Players, ages 8 and older, will have to a attend try-outs which take place in early January. Each player needs to try-out in his/her age group but can request to try-out at the next level if the parent feels that his/her abilities are suited for the next level. Try-outs at the next level do not guarantee placement at the next level. Selected managers and a league representative will evaluate each player's abilities and will use that information to draft players during the division's draft. All drafts and teams should be formed by the end of January (provided the weather holds out and scheduled try-outs proceed) so teams can start their practices during the month of February. Teams should be ready for play and to start the season the first week of March. If you have any questions please e-mail us at WhittierLittleLeague@yahoo.com and we will respond to you as soon as we can.
