Interleague and Combined Teams!!!!!!
by J. P. 24 Feb '25

Hi All, I wanted to get you all in communication with John and Peter at North Spokane Little League. They are starting to think about scheduling and they need games - this means INTERLEAGUE GAMES with EVERYONE PLEASE! I will publish John and Peter's number... so PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM.... They NEED GAMES!!! John (Baseball) - 206-240-3610 and Peter (Softball) - 425-422-3328 - They are going to need all our help this inaugural season - please interleague with them! (And try to travel a bit to play on their home fields some as well)... It's very important to get as many games together for them as possible. We want the North Spokane League to be a big hit! Also I'd like to float the idea of combined teams with everyone. Combined teams let your players and another league's players inter-mingle so that you can begin to build divisions... so if you have a couple of 14 years olds and another league has a few 14 year olds, then you both can combine your players to come up with a team of Juniors... We have the ability to play teams in District 5, and District 12 pretty easily, and in Idaho with the District that borders District 13... this opens up teams in Sandpoint, Priest River, Hayden, Post Falls, and CDA... to play against. I'd suggest we start talking with them now to get on their schedules. You have teams in Lewiston, Clarkston, Pomeroy, Dayton/Waitsburg, Walla-Walla, Tri-Cities, and Othello to engage with. There is softball and baseball to consider. President's Phone Numbers Stacy Ashcroft - West Plains - 509-294-5341 Ryan Wilson - Tri- County - 509-671-5785 Tim Chilcott - Pend Orielle - 307-871-4933 PJ Henscheid - Liberty Lake - 208-680-3336 Tony Stenlund - South Hill - 509-847-4714 Erin Rupp - Bi-County - 509 844-2697 John Hentges North Spokane - 206-240-3610 Please call me if you have questions - 509-995-4200 Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image001.png@01DB86A6.2C0BDE30][cid:image006.jpg@01DB86A6.2C0BDE30]

Some pre-season notes and changes...

07 Feb '25

Hi All, We are seeing registrations beginning to come in. Some leagues have finally started getting some sign ups and others are in the middle of their sign ups... keep in mind, Feb/Early March is when you need to be prepared for "onslaughts". I will share more results with you from the general marketing the District did and where those results were best felt in terms of public responses. Here are some specific notes from Little League about the upcoming season: League Visitations Please send us the names of any leagues in your District that would like to be considered for a League Visitation with a Regional Staff member. It would be helpful to provide some information about the league (good, bad, or otherwise). If they would like to address a particular topic, that would also be helpful. We will then try and schedule the visits over the course of the Spring and Fall. Rule Correction: Reg IV(i) NOTE 5m 2.0 At-bat definition, & 3.03(a) NOTE: : Does not apply in Tournament Play or anytime the continuous batting order is used. This should read: Does not apply in Tournament Play Defensive Mandatory play is required at all levels below the Senior Division. Little League Store news: Rulebooks are available at https://www.shoplittleleague.org/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.shoplittleleague.o…> Scorebooks will no longer be carried once they are out of stock. Data Center Information: Background checks and child protection compliance - this will go live on March 1st. Region Meeting: Hope to see you there!!
