Little League’s Summer 2014 Sandlot Season now open

Registration for Newton SouthEast Little League’s Summer 2014 Sandlot Season is now open!

Following the tremendous success of the Sandlot program last year, NSELL is pleased to announce registration for the Summer 2014 Sandlot Program is open.

Instead of forming teams with set rosters and coaching staffs they will instead be conducting “Sandlot Baseball Nights” and will provide shirts, hats, umpires, coaches and other game-related logistics. The objective is to give everyone a chance to have fun playing competitive baseball in a well organized environment. They’ll set up teams on site each game night. All participants must be registered for “Sandlot Baseball” in order to play on a given night.

To be able to play in this short-season program a player must be age eligible for the Spring 2014 Little League Program and have been a member of a Newton (SouthEast, North, West or Central) Little League Majors Division team for the 2014 Spring Season.

Minor Division players age 9-11 who are likely to be eligible for the majors in Spring 2015 are welcome to play. 12 year old players who have graduated from Spring Little League Majors Division are eligible for this program.

The season is expected to run from the last week of June through the middle of August, on Tuesday and Thursday evening. Teams will be made up at the field of available players. The goal is to have fun by playing pickup baseball.

The program cost is $75. Refunds may be requested before June 22, 2014 minus a $20 administrative fee. No refunds will be made after that date. Registration is limited to 75 participants and is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

They also need coaching volunteers! Please register online under the Coaching program.
