Summer Program Information
N.E.L.L. is committed to providing opportunities for kids to continue enjoying the game and developing their baseball skills throughout the summer season.
Summer Programs:
The Newton Summer Baseball League will operate two summer intramural programs. These are instructional leagues with relaxed competition. All kids who wish to participate in this will be eligible. In late June there will be a skills evaluation session to assure that the teams are as balanced as possible.
The two programs are:
The 7, 8 and 9 year old League is an all-Newton program directed by the Newton West Little League. The program is for players who have played farm or minor league baseball in the spring and who would like to get more experience with players pitching under relaxed competition and rules (generally AA Level). Ten-year-old players may participate. This league is for any NON-TRAVEL league player who wishes to continue playing through July and into the middle of August (for 2008, the league runs from July 7 through August 14). This is a relaxed league for improving and having fun. As such we have no playoffs, just baseball. All games are on weeknights (Mondays - Thursdays only). Practicing is at the coaches discretion and the kids pitch.
Tryouts: In order to form balanced teams, we will hold tryouts at Lyons field on Saturday, June 21 (rain date: Sunday, June 22). Times are staggered, with 7-year-olds at 9:00 AM, 8-year-olds at 10:00, and 9-year-olds at 11:00.
Registration is online this year at www.newtonwestll.org. Please realize that because we try to balance the teams as best possible we cannot generally honor requests for kids to be together. If you have any questions please send an email to info@newtonwestll.org. Travel Players: If a child registers and later gets selected to a travel team, we will apply the registration fee to the travel team. You will not lose any money. We will make all notifications via email. Be sure you provide a valid email address when you register and notify us if it changes. Do to abuses of the system, we cannot place any child on a team until the child is registered . No exceptions will be made.
Ages 10-12 League – This is an all-Newton program directed by Newton East Little League. Teams consist of Major Division players from all 5 of the Newton Little Leagues, who may or may not be playing on a Summer Travel or Williamsport team. Minor Division (AAA) players who are likely to be eligible for the Major Division next spring are also included in this program. Some 9-year-olds may also participate if they are likely to be Major Division eligible and at the commissioners discretion. Games are played weekday nights only. Registration: Registration is online this year at registration.newtoneastll.org. Please realize that because we try to balance the teams as best possible we cannot generally honor requests for kids to be together. Applications are due no later than June 16. A player evaluation will be held on Saturday, June 14, 10:00am - 12:00pm at the Jay Gordon Field off of Homer St.(see "Fields" in the left margin for directions). Rain date is Sunday, June 15 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm at Jay Gordon Field. For more information on this program contact Newton East Little League Summer Commissioner, Jodi Detjen .
