Spring 2008 Registration Information

Posted by Mitchell Klein at Jan 15, 2008 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

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.

Registration Information - Fall Ball 2006

Posted by Mitchell Klein at Jul 25, 2006 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )


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

Consists of players who were members of a Major Division team in the spring of 2006 and will be eligible for the 2007 Little League Spring Season.  Occasionally players from AAA will be considered.

MINOR DIVISION PROGRAM

Consists of players who were members of a Minor League Division (AA or AAA) in the spring of 2006.  Players are combined on fall teams, based on the number of registrants.   AAA rules are used and most players will be at the AA or AAA level. 


ONLINE REGISTRATION

We encourage all parents to register on our website, as it greatly simplifies the registration process for all of us volunteers (yup a volunteer is writing this!). 
Please help us by regsitering your child / children online:

CLICK HERE FOR ONLINE REGISTRATION



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!
