Spring 2008 Registration Information

Posted by Mitchell Klein on Jan 15 2008 at 04:00PM PST

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Newton Central Little League is open to all children who live in the Cabot, Peirce or Ward elementary school districts and are age eligible (see table below).  Any child wishing to play in the NCLL from outside this district must provide a waiver from the district he / she currently resides in before consideration is given.

There are several different leagues within the Newton Central Little League: Farm, AA, AAA, and Majors.  The league that your child will play in is determined by their age as well as tryouts (for older children only).  Tryouts are intended to ensure that children play at the level that is most suitable for their skill level, as well as to attempt to balance teams.

T-BALL LEAGUE:
For all 5 and 6 year olds who are not yet in first grade.

FARM LEAGUE: For all first grade through league age 8 year olds.  This is a coach pitch instructional league.

AA MINORS: Players who are league age 9 can elect to play in the farm league (see above) or may try out to determine eligibility for placement.  AA Minors is where players begin to pitch.  Not all 9 year olds are placed on AA teams; some will benefit from the instructional farm system. NOTE: League age 8 year olds who are in 3rd grade may also try out for AA.  Please register as a 7/8 year old and indicate you wish to try out for AA.

AAA MINORS: League age 10 players MUST tryout to determine placement on either AA or AAA League teams.  AAA is a more competitive & advanced league with rules similar to the Majors.

MAJORS LEAGUE: All league age 11 and 12 players MUST tryout to determine placement on either a AAA or Major League team.  The Major Leagues are the most advanced league in the Little League.  No tryout is necessary for any player returning to a major league team from the 2006 NCLL Spring Season.  NOTE:  Playing on a major league team in the Fall League does NOT qualify and tryouts will be necessary.

REGISTRATION FEES:  Registration costs $95 for each player who registers by the deadline.  NCLL will provide scholarships for families in need - please contact us for details.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:  The registration deadline is February 15, 2007. After February 15, 2007, a late registration fee of $20.00 will apply. Player registrations received after February 28th will be put on a waiting list and players will be assigned to teams on a space available only basis. Please get your registrations in on time - we will have to turn away latecomers to avoid placing too many players on a team.

TEAM ASSIGNMENTS: 

T-BALL League: Teams will be formed based on elementary schools as best as we can.  Games will be played on SATURDAY MORNINGS ONLY!  Practices are totally up to the team coaches.  Games will be oplayed at Albemarle Field and will play teams from both Central and North leagues.

Farm League: This league is formed with regard to elementary school as much as possible. We are also happy to try and place players on a team with ONE friend and one friend only as long as your application is received by February 18th. Please identify your child's friend on your registration form. Your child's friend must also identify your child as a friend on their registration form.
We cannot honor any requests with more than one friend - we are, after all, volunteers and forming teams is challenging enough.  Thank you for understanding!

AA & AAA: Minor League teams are formed based upon player’s school and skill level (determined through tryouts and by prior season player evaluations prepared by each coach). Requests for specific team placement with a friend will not be accepted at the Minor League levels. Please note that every effort is made to place at least two children from a school on the same team.

Major League: The Major League Teams are created through a draft system. In order to be considered for the Major Leagues, you must attend one of the two tryouts.

Players will be notified of team assignments by mid-April.
