2011 Status Update and 2012 Sign ups

2011 STATUS UPDATE

We had a great first year running the Grant County Little League. We learned a lot and have listened to all of your feedback and hope that this year is another year of positive growth for our league. 

• 275 kids played in the league last year. That was up 35 kids from the 2010 season. We are hopeful that we will exceed last years numbers and hope that you will help us get the word out about sign ups for both baseball and softball players. 

• We were notified that a lady from the Campbell County Little League won the car from the Chevy Youth Baseball Raffle Ticket Fundraiser. Thank you for helping your son or daughter sell raffle tickets for our league. We raised $1200.00 doing this fundraiser. 

• This was our first year on a lot of things but concessions was one that we were figuring out even up to the last game. We appreciate your support at our concession stands and hope to improve this service for all our players and families next year. We made roughly $3000.00 from concessions in 2011. 

We are proud to announce that we will be using the money we made from our concessions and the Chevy Youth Sports Fundraiser to purchase and fund the following items for the 2012 season. 

• New T-ball helmets

• New Catchers equipment for the older divisions

• More field equipment for field maintenance

• We have been given another barn up at the Park and we will be prepping that for indoor practices. There will be batting cages and room to practice throwing indoors when the weather is not ideal in the early season. Your coach will let you know when you will be practicing at one of the indoor facilities. 
• 12 dozen baseballs
• 4 dozen softballs
• Restocking Concession Stands
• League Insurance



2012 SIGN UPS & MORE

Online registration will begin January 1st.

We will post a link later this week along with date, time and location for live registrations as well. We are looking forward to the season and hope that you and your family are just as excited. We've talked to several parents over the last few weeks and a few questions have already come up. One has been, "What bats are approved for the League." We follow the Little League rules and regulations and want to pass along the latest information about what is approved for bats and equipment this year.
