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.

Dreamfar 10K and new 5K to help build a playground

​May 18th is the annual Newton 10K to benefit Dreamfar High School Marathon. Dreamfar challenges high school students to reach their full potential – physically, socially, emotionally, and academically – through a mentor-supported marathon training program.

New to the 10K this year is the 5K Chaser – a family-oriented 5K – whose participant proceeds will directly support the Playground Building Fund at Horace Mann Elementary.

A great way to get the family together and support this important initiative to replace the aged wooden structure on Albemarle Street. Widely used by the entire Newton Community during events such as Albemarle Acres Summer Camp, Newton Little League and the Annual Newton 4th of July Fireworks as well as the students at Horace Mann – the large wooden structure, like so many others in Newton needs to be replaced – and they would love your SUPPORT!

Please sign up today for the 5k https://racewire.com/register.php?id=3610  and help to rebuild this important part of your community.

Thank you!
Horace Mann Elementary
