There are a couple changes to our league and to the official little league baseball rules that we want to pass along:

Conshy Little League – Based on feedback from coaches and CLL families, we have decided to revamp the structure for our younger age groups:

   1.) T-Ball/Instructional will now be for league age 4 & 5 year olds

- Structure will be similar to the former Instructional level with a limited game schedule and more focus on practices and teaching the game of    baseball. 

   2.) A new “Coach Pitch” division will be for 6 year olds and any 5 year olds with a year of T-Ball experience if their parents feel they are ready

- As the division title implies, coaches will pitch to the players from a short distance.  The goal is to help players prepare for the PM level and   get used to hitting a moving ball. 

   3.) 11 year olds will be permitted to sign-up for the Minors division if they and their parents agree it would best for them.

Little League International – effective 1/1/18, a new baseball bat standard has been implemented.  The basis of the change is to move to a “wood-like” standard for bat performance and phase out the composite bats (ex – ones marked with BFP 1.15).

The league recognizes the burden of purchasing new bats for many families and is planning on providing each team in the league with a bat or two.
