Sisters Little League

Try outs for the 2008 Sisters Little League baseball season will be held Saturday, March 8, at the Sisters Middle School. Registration forms erroneously listed March 3rd.

Players will demonstrate throwing, catching, fielding grounders and fly balls and hitting.

Minor League “A” player-pitch players, nine to ten years of age will try out from 10:00 am to 12 noon.

Major League players, age eleven and twelve will try out at from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

“If the weather is fair, tryouts will be outside on the Sisters Middle School ball fields behind the gymnasium” according to Davina Luz, Sisters Little League President. “If the weather is wet, we move inside to the Middle School gym. Players should bring either cleats or tennis shoes and a glove.”

Parent and volunteer coaches “score” each child for a draft the following day. Players are mixed and matched so all teams are competitive.

T-Ball players age five to seven and Minor “B” coach-pitch players, seven to nine years of age and girl softball players do not need to tryout.

Team rosters will be announced at 6 pm, Tuesday March 18th at the first ever Sisters Little League Announcement Gala. The night will feature cakewalks, baseball related games and activities, a silent auction and general kids-type fun.

Practice begins later in March. Opening Day ceremonies and games are scheduled for late April.
