OPENING DAY

This year we are doing something completely new and exciting for the start of the season. Instead of our traditional opening day games, we will be hosting a week of clinics and practices for all teams in grades 1-8. The clinics will start on Saturday, April 10th and last for the week. Coaches will get times and locations for their respective teams. Uniforms will be distributed at the clinics. We will also have our traditional Opening Day ceremonies at the Little League Field the following Saturday, April 17th at 9:00am. After our surprise guest speaker addresses the league, official games will proceed. We are looking forward to a great season.

5 NEW BOARD MEMBERS ELECTED AT THE DEC. MEETING

At the Little League Board Meeting held at the Village hall on Dec. 7th, 5 new Board members were elected. Jon Stein, Joe Feldman, James Carnicelli, Brian Walker and Marc McCarthy were warmly received by the current board. Outgoing members included Neil Roth, Seth Marcus, Sean Kelly, Ken Raff and Michael Goldberg. Warner Fite and Jeff Koslowsky, the current Co-Presidents, gave a speech expressing the Board's sincere gratitude for a job well done by the outgoing board members.

USE OF NON-WOOD BATS

In accordance with the rules of Little League International, including the 2010 calendar year season, all non-wood bats used in Little League Baseball must be printed with a BPF (Bat Performance Factor) of 1.15 or less. Any unlabeled or non conforming can not be used.

In anticipation of this new requirement, many age appropriate bats manufactured in the past few years already display this designation, but check your bat to be sure.
Bats made of wood do not need a BPF designation.

UPDATED SAFETY RULES FOR THE 2010 SEASON

Please be advised of two safety rules that have been enacted by Scarsdale Little League. They are in effect for the entire 2010 season.

1. Once thunder is heard or lightening is seen, all players must immediately leave the field and move under cover (i.e., sit in cars). They are not to sit in dugouts. Players shall not be permitted to return to the field until 20 minutes has elapsed since the last thunder clap was heard or lightening bolt seen.

2. In all situations where a parent is pitching, all players that are pitchers helpers shall be positioned no closer to the batter than the pitcher and shall wear a batting helmet.

RULE REGARDING PITCHER'S HELPER FOR 2010

For the 2010 season, all pitcher's helpers must wear a helmet regardless of grade. Coaches must enforce this rule as well as all umpires. This is in light of recent mishaps and injuries in many communities that play little league.

BACKGROUND CHECKS REQUIRED FOR COACHING

A requirement for our Little League charter and our insurance policy, we need to perform background checks on each manager and coach in the Little League program.
