To Little League Parents:

Re: Baseball Evaluations and Tryouts

This year we are holding evaluations Sunday, February 28th and March 7^th at the Granby YMCA (directions: http://www.ghymca.org/587). Our evaluations are split by age and then by alpha groupings of last name in order to minimize parking issues. Please try to keep to the time slots below, however if you have car-pooling needs that do not align with the alpha grouping that should be no problem. We want to encourage car-pooling given the limited amount of parking.

Players should bring a glove. Bats are optional, as we will have a supply on hand.

Please wear sneakers; no cleats will be permitted in the gym.

Parents will not be allowed in the gym during the tryouts.

Attention Umpires (aspiring or experienced):

The 2010 umpire applications for Baseball and Softball are now available.  They are located on the Documents tab of the website.  Anyone interested in participating as an umpire in the Spring season is required to complete this application.  Please submit your completed application to Steve Towles by March 1^st.  The applications can be submitted either by mail or email (addresses on bottom of applications).

All umpires must age 12 by May 1, 2010 (for baseball) and age 12 by January 1, 2010 (for softball only).  All returning umpires who are age 16 or older will also need to complete and submit the league’s volunteer application also found on the documents tab. 
 

All new umpires for the 2010 Spring season are required to participate in two training sessions.  The first will be in March followed by an on field clinic in April, dates and times to be confirmed shortly.  Both sessions are mandatory for 2010 rookie umpires and all second year umpires that did not work during the fall ball season.
