Randy Town's fundamentals baseball camp will be starting up in June and is a perfect opportunity to get some excellent training from college level coaches.  If you've ever attended one of the one-day camps done during our Fall Ball season, you'll know the high-quality and commitment that Randy Town and his staff puts into these camps and clinics.  The camps will be held at Acre Field at the Claremont Colleges.  Click here to download a flyer that has dates and specifics.  To learn more about Randy Town and his organization, click here.

Shout Outs – Wish your player good luck and let him/her know you’re thinking of him/her all season. Shout Outs are 36” diameter signs designed like a baseball and are customizable. You can put your player’s name, number, team and/or a few words of encouragement. Take a look at the example at College Park hanging near the snack bar. Or check out Clay's on Field 1.

Little League International has provided an updated set of rules that will be used in 2012 ahead of the publishing of it's official rules.  Here's the text of the email our district administrators received:

Dear Little League District Administrators and Local Little League Presidents,

As noted in our e-mail message yesterday, we have posted an announcement regarding upcoming changes to the bat rules and specifications for the 2012 season.

http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2011/Sep-Dec/LLAnnouncesBatRuleChangesfor2012Season.htm

Little League is taking this step, before the rule books are actually published in December, to give parents and leagues a timely "heads up."

Please take this opportunity to forward this message to others in your district/league, and post this announcement on your district/league web site and social media pages.

As always, thank you for your support of Little League Baseball and Softball.

Sincerely,
Little League Baseball and Softball

Please take a moment to review the new rules, in particular the changes in enforcement of these rules as using an unsanctioned bat could change the outcome of a game.
