Pawling Little League Fact Sheet-Baseball

All Players in the Majors and Minors will be drafted on a team based on age and/or ability. Junior, farm and tee ball players will be assigned to a team. Coaches will notify each player of his/her team by the end of March. Requests for placement with certain Coaches or players will be considered but not guaranteed at the T-Balland Farm Divisions. No such requests will be considered at the Minor, Major or Junior League Divisions. If not already on file, please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate to the live registration for our records or if you register online, mail it to Pawling Little League, P.O. Box 684, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. We are required to keep a copy, as stipulated by Little League Baseball.

If you desire your child to “Play Up” he/she may be able to move up based on the child’s evaluation (Minors & Majors), orif your child has played Tee-Ball and you believe your child is ready to move up to the Farm Division.You must stipulatethisduring the registration process or placement will be made in the age appropriate division based on the April 30th, 2012LL date (this cutoff date determines your child’s League Age {LA}). The age of your child on April 30th , 2012 is their League Age.

We strongly encourage League Age 13 and older playing modified baseball to join PLL as we will work with the modified schedule to make playing in both programs possible. These leagues can provide additional playing time and “at-bats” for serious players.

Little League International is developing a new division for League Age 12 & 13. The division is a 50/70 division (i.e. 50 ft. pitchers mound and 70 ft. basepaths). If there is enough interest, we plan to put a team together that willtravel to other towns to play. Games will be predominantly on Saturday and/or Sunday. We will contact you after registration is over to let you know if we had enough interest to form a team. Your registration fee will be reimbursed if we are unable to form a team.

We are going to have a Junior Division for 13-14 year olds. Also, if there is enough interest, a Senior Division (15-16 year olds) will be added. We want to mention that we will again work with the school schedule as best we can to make playing in both divisions possible.
