Schedules posted

We are sorry for the confusion, but if you click on the sidebar where it says "2010 Schedules" the correct schedules for the year are posted. Once on that website, click on league schedules and you can choose from each division in our Little League. You can even pick out your individual team's own schedule. We will attempt to post scores and standings from the Major Leagues here also.
Opening day was a great success, from the opening National Anthem, the great number of players and teams that made it out, the flag presentation of the United States Flag flown in Afghanistan, to being able to surprise Mr. Jim Greene with the first pitch honor. Everything went great.
We will have a picture schedule posted in a day or two.
Once again, to find out about cancellations or changes, please call 733-3591. All changes of games will be made before 5:00 on game days.

Correction

Please disregard the section of the last post about uniforms. Uniforms will not be available for pickup until Saturday at 9:30 am at the Sherrill Rominger field. There will be a brief coaches meeting at 10:00 am followed by the opening ceremony at 11:ooam. Thanks for your patience. This is an extremely difficult procedure trying to get uniforms here on time with late registrations that have been turned in and such. We will get this season under way Saturday.
