Diamond Skills Camps is offering 10 weeks of summer camps hosted at the Little League fields. Camps start on June 10 and run through August 23.  

Alameda Little League endorses the Diamond Skills Camps that are run by Neptune Beach Pearl at our Little League fields. These are former Alameda Little Leaguers who have come back to Little League and offer excellent clinics designed to make our players better during the summer months. No other clinics in Alameda are endorsed by Alameda Little League, nor do they contribute to us. You can find more information and register at www.diamondskillscamp.com If you sign up for a clinic please sign up for these to benefit Alameda Little League!

We regret to inform you of the sudden passing of one of our Little League coaches on Tuesday. Craig Wolff was a coach for three seasons in Farm Division and this year was a coach of the Single A-Lugnuts. In addition to being a doting father and devoted husband, Craig was a first year doctoral student at Cal Berkeley and a researcher, scientist and environmental engineer for the public health industry. Craig enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid cyclist. Craig is survived by his wife Sonia Urzua and his three children: Clarisa, Sebastian and David.

To honor Craig's memory, Alameda Little League held a silent reflection period before the Lugnuts game at Rittler Field at 11:25am on Saturday, May 11 for anyone who wanted to join. Over 300 attended, including all teams from games at that game time.

A scholarship fund has been set up for Craig's children at Wells Fargo Bank: Acct Name: Sonia Urzua Acct #5207-822213 or donations may be made to AIDS/Life-Cycle in Craig's Wolff's name. Alameda Little League is contributing $500 to the scholarship fund. Please join the League in recognizing this loss in our community.

The Board of Directors recently approved the funds to widen and improve two batting cages for both functional and safety reasons. Our President looked at bids from vendors and decided that it was too costly, so he and our Independent Contractor John Peralta tackled the immense job by themselves, saving an estimated $7,000-$8,000 in costs. The cage nearest our Snack Bar is almost complete and teams are excited to use it. The final touches will be a synthetic turf surface and netting. The batting cage in the left-center field bull pen area of the Major Field will begin the same construction process as soon as this season ends. We do it for the kids!!

Wood Middle School will be hosting an eWaste recycling event this Saturday, April 20 from 9 - 4 in the turn-around lot on Grand St. All proceeds benefit Wood Middle School. C&T Recycling will accept the following items for FREE: televisions, flat screen, monitors, laptops, cell phones, ink jet cartridges and wire. A $5 fee will be charged for other items like printers, telephones, copy machines, VCRs, etc. Other items are accepted at various rates. What you can do to help is clear out the garage and office of those unused, unwanted items and drop them off on your way to your child’s game this Saturday. This is a great way to thank Wood Middle School for allowing the league to use their parking lots. Please allow extra time for parking and give room to people who are dropping off items.
