Greetings everyone,

Registration has now closed so here’s what comes next for parents/players in the AA, A, T and 4T levels. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

• Coordinators for each division have begun assembling teams around volunteer coaches/assistant coaches, friend requests (as best they can), etc.
• Now that we can determine how many teams we can form at each level, schedules can now be constructed. Games for 4T-AA will all begin the first week in May and continue through mid-June typically playing 2 games each week. As we typically do, A and 4T will play on a rotating Mon-Thur schedule. Our 4T coordinator will be determining what works best. given we only have 2 relatively small teams. AA will be interleaguing with ESM this year for the first time and so the exact details on the schedule are being determined.
• Coaches should being reaching out in the next couple weeks, hopefully by mid-April, to inform parents of what team their child is on.
• Uniforms (jerseys and hats) will be distributed towards the end of the month.

• Parents of new players, the necessities will include a pair of baseball pants and a glove. All the fields will be equipt with bats and helmets although many players get their own nowadays. Up until coach pitch softball and AA baseball, I think they’re fine with sneakers. It is mandatory that AA players wear a protective cup since they will start catching once that reach that stage. I will be send out our second 20% off coupon for Dicks Sporting Goods for the weekend of April 21-24 very soon. A small percentage of each purchase using those coupons comes back to the league so its always great to take advantage of the discount/sale

• Finally, Saturday, April 29th is Picture Day! Pictures will take place throughout the morning and afternoon (for all baseball and softball divisions) at Jamesville Elementary. They are indoors and therefore will take place rain or shine. There are no make-up picture days so please mark your calendar. April 29th is also our Opening Day. At 11:30am, the first pitch will be thrown out by one or two special guest at St. Mary’s field. It will be followed by a majors games so come for a little while, have a burger and enjoy the start of our season.

I look forward to good season and hopefully a dry one!

The league is happy to announce that a Jamesville DeWitt Little League spirit wear/team store is now open but only for a limited time!!

There are a significant number of clothing options, many of which weren’t available last year. This year’s designs also have our new league logo on them. A portion of each purchase goes directly to the league so every t-shirt, hat, hoodie, etc. helps to give support.

So that items can be ordered and then distributed near the start of the little league season, the store will only be open until this Friday, March 31st.

Greetings everyone, 

Just a reminder that we’ve got under a week before for spring baseball and softball registration closes completely.* Friday, March 31st* will be the last day to register (ages 4-8 year old) children for 4T, T, A , and AA Baseball as well as 4T, T and Coach Pitch Softball! 

How close is the start of the season? Very close!

The sun is shining, its above 50 degress aaaaaaaand the new St. Mary’s scoreboard is officially up!!! Many thanks to Mike Austin and our league sponsor, Butler Fence, for the install. We couldn’t be happier to have a scoreboard back.

Please READ CAREFULLY…

ALL 8 and 9 year olds signed up for baseball and softball should arrive by 2pm tomorrow to 481 Sports Center. Plan on getting there a few minutes early so that we can get your child checked in.

ALL 10-12 year olds signed up for baseball and softball should arrive by 3:30pm tomorrow to 481 Sports Center. Likewise, plan on getting there a few minutes early so that we can get your child checked in. Players who have already played at the majors level for JDLL need not attend the assessment.

Skill assessments for each age group will last approximately 1.5 hours with players rotating through multiple stations (throw, pitch, catch, field, hit). It is therefore important that you please try and get there on time.

Equipment needed includes a bat and glove. It is a turf surface so players should be fine with a pair of sneakers.

We look forward to seeing everyone again and the start of the season!
