Fall 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 fall season.
Fall Programs:
The N.E.L.L. Fall Baseball programs are competitive programs with opponents with other Newton Little Leagues as well as Needham, Belmont, Brookline, Waltham and Weston. Beginning in early September, two games per week are played (one weekday and one on Sunday) for six weeks. The fall programs are extremely important for players’ development, since they are more or less the equivalent of another spring season of experience. For purposes of the fall league, participants must be age eligible for the 2009 Little League Spring Season (see table below). Each League is responsible for recruiting and registering their own team(s) and must provide a Little League Field and Umpires for games played at that field. The Cost of the Fall program is $100 and the application is due by August 10, 2008. Applications received after August 10th are subject to a $15 late fee and placement is not guaranteed.
Major Division Program – Consist of players who were members of a Major Division team in the spring of 2008 and will be eligible for the 2009 Little League Spring Season. Occasionally players from AAA teams may be considered, strictly by invitation only. All league age 12 year olds will be placed onto Major league rosters to ready them for the Spring 2009 season (unless a waiver is granted).
Minor Division Program – Consist of players who were members of a Minor Division team in the spring of 2008 and will be eligible for the 2009 Little League Spring Season. Players are combined on fall teams, based on the number of registrants. AAA rules are used and most players will be at the AA or AAA level. Participation of farm league players is not encouraged, unless they have had some exposure to players pitching in one of the summer leagues.
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. If you have any questions regarding registration (or need a paper application or 12 year old waiver form to play in minor league) please send an email to info@newtoneastll.org.
Questions on the N.E.L.L. Fall Program can be directed to the commissioner. For more information on this program contact Newton East Little League Fall Commissioner, Kevin Josephson.
