Greetings JD Little League families,

Last year, our League partnered with a coalition of JD parents, the JD School District and JD Booster Club on a project to improve the Lyndon Field softball complex. Lyndon Field is home to both Varsity and Junior Varisty Red Rams teams as well as JD Little League’s Majors and Minors Divisions.

I am pleased to announce that the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to open play at the fields takes place at 5pm on Tuesday, April 9th! We invite all of our softball players, past and present, as well as their families to attend the ceremony. It is asked that anyone who plans on attending RSVP. Please see the attached flier for more details.

We hope to see you there!

Greetings,

There is less than one week now until the first registration deadline of Friday, March 8th (at midnight). Children ages 8-12 who plan on playing either AAA or Majors baseball and Minors or Majors softball must be signed up by that date. Immediately following the annual skill assessment on Sunday, March 10th, coordinators and coaches will meet to determine teams for the upper divisions. Once teams are set, it will not be possible to add players so its important that children are registered by that deadline. Here are some additional details regarding the skill assessment. A PDF with full details is also attached.

All League Age 8-12 Year Olds (with the exception of those who already played Majors in the Spring of 2023) must attend the annual skill assessment.

The skill assessment will be held on Sunday, March 10th at:
Sports Center Court Street
2801 Court Street Suite 2
Syracuse, New York 13208

Turn onto Pottery Road and then a right at the yellow guard rail.

8 and 9 Year Olds
1:00 – 2:15 PM

10 – 12 Year Olds
2:15 – 3:30 PM

Please arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in. To stay organized, we kindly ask that you attend skill assessment at the appropriate time slot. Players should bring their glove, bat and a helmet. We will have bats and helmets for players who might not have their own. Baseball attire (including cleats) is not required.
