SRVLL Families, Friends and Supporters,
Welcome to the 2012 San Ramon Valley Little League Season.
Happy 2012! If you still haven’t registered, it isn’t too late. We are still missing many new 5 year olds in our league so all of our SRVLL families that know of 5 and 6 year olds ready to hit one out of the park, please remind them to register soon. Even though the weather has turned cold, baseball is still in full swing. Academy Teams have been selected, Juniors and Seniors Tryouts are underway and AA through Majors tryouts and drafts are upon us. As always, if you have any questions during this time, please email the Director of Tryouts, Director of Junior or Senior Divisions or the Directors of any of the Divisions with any questions you may have.
Because our membership has grown so much over the last year, we have a new Rookie Division. As a result, the Farm and A play have been upgraded to continuously challenge all players to learn to hit, field and pitch to higher levels.
I want to take a moment to thank all of our volunteers for tryouts this year. So many people showed up to tryouts and helped make our new tryout model a great experience for our kids. We were overwhelmed with your support.
Our Umpire kickoff meeting is January 18th. Our league cannot function without our young adult umpires and the growing number of adult umpires that complete the great training and spend many warm days out in the field with our children. I encourage any young adults or parents to join our umpire program. It is a rewarding way to spend time with our children and teach them lessons in leadership.
Finally, our all league meeting is February 23rd at the Alamo School Multipurpose room. It is mandatory for all parents who are managing or coaching but all parents are invited.
Even though the weather is cold, baseball is still the greatest American pastime!
Thanks,
Linda Standen
President of SRVLL 2011

Please note that the draft pool will be comprised of players' designations made during registration or modified when you signed in at Tryouts. Once once a player has been drafted into a division, he/she cannot subsequently ask to be dropped down to a lower division so if you have concerns, feel free to contact myself or Paul Clark (
).
WITHDRAWALS/INJURIES
One more thing, if you: (1) have registered and.or tried out and now have decided NOT to play baseball this year; (2) have been injured which will prevent you from playing for any portion of the season or (3) have other commitments that would limit your child's participation, please let us know details of your situation as soon as possible so that the managers can make an informed decision during the draft.
Thanks for your patience and I wish you a fun-filled season!

Dear Friends of SRVLL Baseball:
As most of you know, all families participating in SRVLL are required to give service to our league during the course of the season.
IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE YOUR SERVICE HOURS, YOU WILL BE CHARGED BY THE LEAGUE A FEE OF $300 on June 15, 2012.
How Many Hours are required? Families of Farm, T-ball and Single A are required to complete 5 hours. Families of Double A, Triple A, and Majors are required to give a total of 10 hours. You can choose from various volunteer opportunities and can mix-and-match to arrive at the total service hours.
Where Can I Get Hours? This year SRVLL will be implementing a different tryout system which requires a lot of vounteers and if you want to get your obligation out of the way sooner, we could use your help!
How Many Hours are available? We anticipate 3 days of tryouts and need approximately 40 volunteers per day. Some of the roles have been filled but many others are still available. Review listing of types of roles we need filled on the website link below (signupgenius.com)
When:
8-9-10 year olds will tryout on January 7, 2012. (Completed)
11-12 year olds will tryout on Saturday, January 21, 2012.
There will be four 1 ½ hour sessions each day ranging roughly from 8 to 3:30 pm. A make up day is scheduled for January 28th for which the tryout director must be contacted.
We will serve lunch and have drinks available to league volunteers.
To see the volunteer list, times and tasks and who has already signed up, go to the link below
Once you've signed up you can change your volunteer role up to a point so if you click on one and wish to later change it, you can! Please help and remember, you can always volunteer more hours than the minimum!
See you out there,
Sean Chen

Dear Little League Volunteer,
During this special time of year we often take time to reflect on the year that was. As we welcome and enjoy the company of family and friends during the holiday season, I take this moment to express my personal appreciation for the volunteer leadership you have provided the Little League program.
Each year, communities around the world are invigorated by the extraordinary and tireless efforts of District Administrators, Assistant District Administrators and more than one million local Little League officials and volunteers. Our program could not maintain its respected status as the leader in youth sports without its corps of volunteers. At Little League International we recognize that you, the volunteers, are the foundation strength of this incredible movement and we can never say thank you enough.
Much success was enjoyed by our program in 2011, as we celebrated our 73rd season. This year, the results and opinions of a five-year empirical study, focused on arm injuries sustained by youth baseball pitchers was released; and Little League International introduced an education program for first-year district administrators. On the field, the five regional centers in the United States hosted both the Little League Baseball and Little League Softball Region Tournaments for the first time, and Little League's television partners ESPN introduced 3D technology to the 65th Little League Baseball World Series.
Also in 2011, our organization connected with thousands of Little League fans and supporters via the Internet through the expansion of our website and eteamz content. Several constituent-specific pages on Facebook were refined, and we continue to distribute news and information through Twitter. More than 60,000 people now receive immediate information from Little League via Facebook.
Obviously, we hope these positive trends continue into 2012. With your help they can, and we are here to support you as we expand our efforts to increase participation in all divisions of our program. Please don't hesitate to call upon the professional staff in South Williamsport, or at your regional office for assistance. We have a very capable team of people ready to assist you with all aspects of league and district operations.
We appreciate the thousands of you who will make the sacrifices necessary to provide millions of children with the Little League experience in 2012. This spirit of giving is a testament to the value of the Little League program, and it is the reason we are optimistic about the memories and successes that are to come with the 2012 Little League season.
In the meantime, I want to thank you again for another great Little League year, and send my warmest wishes to you and your families for a safe, healthy and happy holiday season.

2012 Little League Bat Guidelines
-
For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below: The moratorium on composite-barreled baseball bats remains in effect. However, some composite-barreled baseball bats that have been proven in laboratory testing to meet the BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard throughout the life of the bat, through the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) process, have received waivers. That list is here: Licensed/Approved Composite 2 1/4 Bats.

ATTENTION SRVLL UMPIRES
(and those who want to become umpires)
It's time for all new and returning SRV umpires to sign up.
Little League umpiring is a rewarding way to support both SRVLL and your community. There's no baseball without the umps. Adult volunteers can take pride in providing invaluable service to the San Ramon Valley community (and those with kids in the League can satisfy their volunteer hours). Our youth umpires can earn a little money.
Got a son interested in umpiring? Both of you sign up and we can make father-son or mother-son umpire crews.
The umpire application can be found here: Click Here
Send your applications in to Robert Ward at
,
or you can fax them to 925-937-2521.
The first meeting for all SRV umpires is January 11, 2012
and training will start on January 18.
