REGISTRATION FOR 2012 SUMMER BASEBALL IS OPEN!
This summer, Weston Little League will offer District, Travel and Sandlot programs for our players.
Please note that a player’s “Little League” age is the age they were on April 30, 2012.
DISTRICT TEAMS
We will field two District teams, one for Little League 9/10s and one for Little League 11/12s. Participation on these teams is by selection and vote. Final team rosters are WLL Board approved. The District Teams compete for the right to play in either State or National Championships. This is a highly competitive and a time intensive league.
Playing on a District Team is a huge time commitment for both players and parents. Practices may begin as early as June 8 for the 9/10 team and June 12 for the 11/12 team and are just about every weeknight as well as weekends until games start two weeks later. Once the games begin, there will be approximately 1-2 practices per week with approximately 3 games per week. Essentially, it’s approximately 5-6 days of baseball a week for a period of about 6-7 weeks from early to mid-June through the month of July. Attendance at practices and games are mandatory; the League generally imposes at least a 90% game/practice participation rate.
In order to ensure that we complete our player/coach selection process before our filing deadlines, registration for District consideration will definitely close on May 31. There will be no late fees or any exceptions. If your child would like to be considered for a District Team, you must register and pay on or before May 31.
TRAVEL TEAMS (Friendship Tourney)
This Summer, Weston Little League will also offer numerous Travel (Friendship) Teams. In the past, we have fielded Travel teams that play home games at Bisceglie Park and travel games in towns such as Wilton, Ridgefield and Darien. The teams generally fall into these "Little League" age categories: 7/8s (current 2nd graders), 8/9s, 9/10s, 10/11s, and 11/12s. The number of teams and age breakdowns will be based on the pool of registrants.
Regular registration for Travel teams will close on June 8. Late registration will continue through June 15 (with a late fee), but placement on a team is not guaranteed after June 8. Acceptance of late registrants will be dependent on roster space.
We anticipate the Travel season to begin the 3rd week of June and some teams may continue through the first week of August while others might end in July.
Travel teams are comprised of players not selected or too young for District Teams, those who do not wish the degree of competitiveness and time commitment of District Team play, or those who just wish to have more flexibility with their schedule. Attendance at all practices and games is not mandatory, but the League does desire that Travel team players commit to 80% of the games and practices.
SANDLOT
We will also be offering "free" sandlot games on a weekly (usually a Saturday or Sunday) basis. More information on Sandlot will follow separately but in the past this has been typically for the lower/younger divisions (A-AA).
If you have any questions about any of our summer programs, please contact Todd Derene at

posted 05/15/2012 Dear Weston League Family,
Weston Little League is planning our first ever fundraiser! Consistent with our programs, it's going to be incredible for you and your kids.
Picture this…
It’s Saturday, June 16th,
All the championship games have been played,
Instead of going home, we fire up the grills, have a local band start playing tunes and when darkness falls parent and child retire to their tents set up on B3 and have a sleep out under the stars.
This is “Bisceglie Under the Stars”!
Your children will never forget the night they slept out at the baseball field. Everyone will have a great time, and we raise much needed money so the league can do some additional amazing things for your kids.
Click here for more information, RSVP to the event, and/or make a donation.
Thank you!

Dear Parents of Weston Little League Players,
I'd like to alert you to potential products that may aid in the safety of our children. These products are not mandated by Little League National of Williamsport, so Weston Little League is not mandating them, but our board thinks that you should at least know about them so you can make your own informed decision whether or not to purchase them for your children.
First, there are batting helmets that come with a facemask. When worn properly, these facemasks prevent the batter from taking a hit to the eyes, nose or mouth from a batted or thrown baseball.
The second is a simple mouth guard. Again not mandated by Williamsport, but some leagues are suggesting them.
The last is a "heart guard". These are often T shirts that have a protective plastic shield which prevents a child from taking a direct hit to the heart from a batted or thrown ball.
All of these items may be purchased online or at local stores. Please consider this email in the spirit that it was sent. All sports have the potential for injury of one type or other. The safety of your children is our number one priority, the play is secondary. Your little league board has developed many practices over the years that try to ensure safety. You may elect for your child to use one or more of the items listed above to prevent an injury. That said, it's going to be a wonderful season.
Thanks. Rich Hassan
