Welcome to Yarmouth
Little League - 2008

For those of you new to the league, we want you to know that we are affiliated with Little League International through Williamsport, PA. We follow their charter rules. Our goal, locally, is to see to it that our children learn to play the game, have fun and develop their skills as ball players, teammates and competitors!

Please be advised that as a part of our 2008 program we plan to again offer a Farm League division for 2nd graders interested in baseball regardless of their League Age. Furthermore, all 2nd grade girls regardless of their League Age will be eligible to participate in the Minor League softball program.

Aside from our Farm League program (baseball only); the divisions within our Little League program are the same for baseball and softball (exception – Junior League Softball).

Little League is for boys and girls league age 8-12 (see 2008 Age Determination folder on our web site for actual dates – different for baseball and softball). There are two levels within Little League: Minor League and Major League. In the Minor League division the emphasis is on skill development and learning the basics of the game. Youngsters play a variety of positions and bunting and stealing are not allowed. In the Major League division the game is played more traditionally. Bunting and stealing are introduced at this level so the game is more competitive.

Tryouts

Tryouts are held for Little League players (aged 8-12, includes Farm League) not previously assigned to a Major League team. All players not previously assigned to a Major League team are encouraged to tryout! Every child that tries out will be placed on a team, either Minor or Major League. Any child who chooses not to try out will be placed on a Minor League team. All players, once assigned to a Major League team, will remain in the Major Leagues throughout their Little League years. However, we do redraft Major League teams (baseball and softball) on an annual basis. Tryouts will take place on March 29th – exact details will be posted on the web site in early March.

Softball and Baseball Tryouts – Saturday March 29th (see web site - Exact details TBD)

Pre-Season Clinics

These are optional clinics for boys and girls aged 8-12, includes Farm League. The idea of these clinics is two-fold. First, it’s a good chance to get out the glove (find the glove) and begin preparing for the upcoming season. Second, for the younger players, it’s an opportunity to find out what will be happening and required at the tryouts. The clinics will take place on March 24 - exact details will be posted on the web site in early March.

Softball and Baseball Clinics – Saturday March 22th (see web site - Exact details TBD)

Junior League Softball is for girl’s league age 13-14 (beginning with the 2006 season league age 12 year olds will have the option to “play up” at the Junior League level). These teams are required to travel to other communities to play. Registration for this program will take place in March (details TBA).

Babe Ruth Baseball is for boy’s league age 13-15 (beginning with the 2006 season league age 12 year olds will have the option to “play up” at the Babe Ruth level). At this age, the game is played on a full-size diamond. This program is not affiliated with Little League International – it operates under the Windham Babe Ruth charter. These teams are required to travel to other communities to play. Registration and an informational session for the 2008 season will take place Thursday March 27 at 7pm in the HMS Cafeteria. Please contact Rich Strabley (939-9567) with any questions.
