Sports Swap is Early This Year - Don't Miss It
posted 1/23/2012 by Board Member
Scarsdale Little League suggests you take note of this great event put on by the Scarsdale Parent Teacher Council especially just ahead of the start of the Spring season.
Winter sports will be ending before you know it and spring baseball, lacrosse, soccer and more are about to start. That means, it's time to take stock in what you don't need and what you have to give away. The Sports Swap is a great chance to empty it all out and also help support our schools. It will take place on
Saturday, March 10th, 10:00am-12:00pm at Heathcote Elementary.
Bring in your gently used items like sports equipment/uniforms, formal wear, musical instruments, bicycles and computer/video games for resale. All items are considered donations with proceeds from all sales going to support the PTC.
They need your help in 5 ways.
1) Bring your items Friday, March 9th, 5:00pm-7:00pm or Saturday, March 10th
8:00am-9:30am to the Heathcote School.
2) Help set up, Sat March 10th, 8:00am - 10:15am
3) Help sell the items, writing receipts, collecting money, helping where
you can with advice on purchases, 9:45am - 12:15am.
4) Help clean up, 11:45am - 2:00pm
5) Buy something
Please let them know if you can volunteer some time. They need volunteers to help during the following time slots. 8:00am-10:15am, 9:45am-12:15pm, 11:45pm-2:00pm. Volunteer your middle school kid!
All the action is at the Heathcote School. Start cleaning out your garages and getting rid of the old and making room for the new. Don't forget, again this year, they will also be accepting old little league uniforms for donation. Get organized and be generous!!

posted 1/19/2012 by Board Member
Scarsdale Little League is predominantly a parent coach league. During the Spring 2012 season we will be devoting more time, energy and resources in order to train our coaches to learn how to teach proper skills and player development as well as to enhance the overall quality of practices.
That said, we always need coaches especially at the younger grades with our incoming Kindergarten class. This the best time to get involved with our program and enhance your player's team experience. You will be asked during the registration process if you might be available to volunteer as a coach, manager or other volunteer. Please get involved - you will love it.New Development Resources / Videos - Take Advantage
posted 1/16/2012 by Board Member
Scarsdale Little League is embracing the vast resources of development videos that are available via different providers including Little League International. Please see our website under Development / Training which we expect to continue to update. We have highlighted some of the facilities in our area as well as included the links to various videos we encourage both coaches and players to review for the upcoming Spring season.
Take advantage of brushing up on mechanics and proper form. We will be communicating more as we develop a more comprehensive program before opening day. Click on the development tab and see some of the video library we have prepared.

SLL has launched a new program for the community to get involved in Little League and feature their businesses by sponsoring a team as well as gaining visibility on the website. See the tab called "Sponsor SLL" to learn more - it can be done directly on the website or via email to
sponsorship@scarsdalelittleleague.com.
Your business name and/or logo would be featured on team jersey's above the number in the back giving you great visibility to the community. We understand other communities have a waiting list given the positive feedback they receive.
Encourage your favorite merchants to participate. We hope for every team to have a sponsor and for this to be a successful program.

Spread the word and make sure to get something for everyone.
What's with the new website?
posted 12/14/2011 by Board Member
We have upgraded !! We are pleased to introduce this new website which should offer us much more functionality with regard to communication, scheduling and team formation.
The list of notable enhancements include:
a) ability of parents to now better control their profile and contact information to be used by coaches and the league. We were able to migrate all old profile information but request you look it over after you are able to log in.
b) automatic reminders now sent for practice and games 36 hrs before the event - parents control whether they want this or not - default is to receive it.
c) enhanced integrated registation process now with the ability to take uniform size orders to improve matching and eliminate preseason headaches
d) substantial scheduling enhancement with ability to see schedules by league, team or family
e) new team pages and ability for coaches to post information such as standings (league appropriate) as well as see rosters/schedules for other teams
f) enhanced information on our fields including directions, pictures, etc as well as directions to non-Scarsdale fields (list to grow)
g) introduction of Scarsdale Little League merchandise that can be ordered directly including warmups, sweatshirts, jackets, hats, bags, etc. in multiple designs.
h) introduction of the SLL Sponsorship program - we encourage you to spread the word on this to your favorite merchants for them to sponsor a team
i) new communication capability allowing parents to direct their questions to the appropriate committee of the SLL board to speed up response time
j) download the mobile App to see your SLL calendar on your phone
We are excited and hope you are too and you benefit from it.
