We are planning for Opening Day to be April 13th. Rain Date is scheduled for April 20th. We plan to have all opening day festivities to include Opening Ceremonies, Chicken BBQ, Hitting Derby and games.
We will have our first Ball Park cleanup day on March 9, 2024 starting at 9am. We have a lot to do to get the ballpark ready for the kids so we are encouraging all families attend. Service hours available for students in need.
ASSESSMENTS: All players from Pitching Machine and up will need to attend assessments. Assessments WILL BE SUNDAY, February 25, 1-3pm for pitching machine, 3-5pm for Minors and Majors. Saturday, March 2nd, 9-11am for Pitching Machine, 11-1pm for Minors and Majors. We will announce assessments for Srs/Juniors/Intermediate later.
You need to only attend ONE assessment. Bring your glove, bat, helmet or any other equipment you may have. Please be there at the START of the assessment. We will allow 6-year old’s to assess for Pitching Machine on the dates provided above and will also allow 8-year old’s to assess for Minor League on the dates specified above. All Assessments will be held at West Salisbury. The league officials and managers will determine where the children play. These decisions will be based on the safety of every child. Tee Ball players will not need to come to assessments.
We are looking for Team Managers. Please email [email protected] no later than February 15, 2024 if you are interested in managing a team and please indicate which age group along with your qualifications.
SPONSORSHIP: Are you a contractor, company owner or executive? There are a variety of sponsorships available. We have over 300 players (plus fans and families) who would be exposed to your business. Please email info@westsalisburylittleleague,com if interested in sponsorship. Monies raised by your generous support carry out the Little League Pledge of assisting youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being through proper guidance and exemplary leadership. The Little League program teaches our youth about sportsmanship and team building while competing in a healthy environment. West Salisbury Little League is a non-profit organization, supported by donations from businesses and people like you. Keep us on your list for future donations.
WEATHER CANCELLATIONS: can be confirmed by visiting our website at www.westsalisburylittleleague.com and emails will be sent. Facebook will be updated as well.
VOLUNTEERS: Little League Baseball is run by volunteers. We need support from everyone to make the league successful. A completed volunteer form, found on our website, is required for all volunteers. PARENTS can support their children best by providing positive reinforcement on the sidelines during a game. Also, make sure your child is on time for the game and attends practices as directed by the coach. Make sure your child is rested and properly nourished before a practice or game so that they can give their best effort. Set the right example for the children by not criticizing the coaches and umpires during a game. All of us benefit from positive energy on and off the field. Our umpires and coaches are volunteers and give their best effort and many, many hours of their time and for that they deserve our support and respect. And since we are all volunteers, occasional missed calls will happen, and questionable coaching decisions will likely happen at times. It is part of the game (even in professional baseball!) and through these difficulties we learn to accept life’s bumps graciously and to move on to our next at-bat or baseball game with our love of the game intact. We ask that you please remember WSLL provides a tobacco free environment to our players, parents, and guests. Smoking is permitted in the parking area only. Thank you. If you have questions regarding West Salisbury Little League, please feel free to contact, Kristen Wheatley, directly at 443-359-1389. We encourage you to check [email protected] for any updates.
Sincerely,
WSLL Board
