ABOUT THE FALL BALL PROGRAM |
The Fall baseball program is a cooperative effort with all five Newton Little Leagues working together. Newton East coordinates the schedules and teams.
It is a competitive program with opponents from other Newton Leagues as well as Needham, Belmont, Brookline and Waltham; as such it is like a local travel team, where many games will be at fields other than Cabot.
Beginning in early September, two games per week are played (one weekday and one on Sunday) for six weeks. There will NOT be any games on 9/22, 9/24, 10/1 or 10/2. Practices will be at the discretion of the Manager.
Sunday games are played at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. In September, weekday games are played at 5 pm; in early October the games begin at 4:30 and in mid october at 4:00. MINORS weekday games will be on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. MAJORS weekday games will be on Tuesday or Thursday. The program will begin on or about Friday September 10th, and will continue throughout October (weather permitting, of course!).
The fall programs are extremely important for players' development, since they are more or less the equivalent of another spring season of experience.
For purposes of the fall league, participants must be age eligible for the 2007 Little League Spring Season (born after May 1, 1994 and before April 30, 1997) |
The cost of the Fall Program is $50, with registrations due by August 15th.
Registrations placed after August 15th will incur a $20 late fee and cannot be guaranteed a spot on a team. If no slot is available fees will be fully refunded. |
| Only children who have played Minor League (AA or AAA) or Major League baseball in the spring of 2006 will be eligible to play in the fall baseball program. |

MAJOR DIVISION PROGRAM

The League is open to all children who live in the Cabot, Peirce or Ward Elementary School districts and are age-eligible (born after May 1, 1994 and before April 30, 1997).
Paper registration forms are also available for download from this website. There will be a $10.00 additional charge for using paper registrations. Click HERE to download the paper registration form.
To keep registration fees from increasing significantly, Newton Central depends on the generosity of our parent and business community. Our Little League is responsible for maintaining the Cabot, Ward and Peirce fields, which has become increasingly costly over the years. For safety reasons, we also need to replace equipment and supplies on a regular basis. Last year we ran a deficit, and we request your help to keep us in the black in 2006.
We very much appreciate the generous donations many of you have already made this year!
