Here is something you all may like... came in the mail today...

I've been involved in youth baseball for over 30 years, with the last decade focused specifically on tee ball. I'm reaching out to share the attached introduction and first chapter from my recently published book, Tee Ball Myths & Solutions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.amazon.com_Ball-2D…>. It was written for volunteer coaches and parents with a simple goal: helping kids enjoy tee ball, learn the game properly, and want to come back the following year. One of the reasons I leaned into tee ball was seeing how many kids drift toward soccer and lacrosse at the youngest ages. Baseball could do a better job creating a fun, engaging first experience, and this book is my attempt to help at that level. There's no obligation to respond. If you feel the attached sample has value, you're welcome to pass it along to leagues or coaches in your district and let them decide if it's useful. Thank you for the time and effort you put into Little League. Best regards, Marty Schupak 845-536-4278 Author, Tee Ball Myths & Solutions MartySchupak.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__MartySchupak.com&d=DwMF…>

My league just had our first coaches meeting a few days ago as I get ready for my 5th season as a coach. On the Mariners side, I'm heading into season 17 and we have some things that we have never seen before. As I mentioned when we met last time met in person, we have more games this year than ever. Another first for us (as far as my records show) is that 2 of our dates have now been picked up for Sunday Night Baseball. Those dates are: * March 29th vs. Guardians * May 17th vs. Padres Both games are now 4:20pm starts. We have had a couple of internal meetings discussing alternatives to parades on those dates. More than likely, both teams will want to take batting practice before a nationally televised game. More to come soon on what we will be able to offer those days. At this point, I'm going to ask for your help. We are still missing several leagues that typically sign up for a date with us. Below is a list of Leagues that have already signed up, can you please reach out to your leagues that are missing? Here is who is already in: Bainbridge Island Little League Battle Ground Little League Sequim Little League Camas Little League Columbia Little League Maltby Pony Baseball Pacific Little League Burlington Edison Little League Kirkland National Little League Bellevue National Little League Maple Valley Pony Baseball Mill Creek Little League North Bothell Little League North Clark Little League Renton Little League Centralia Little League Selah Little League Ballard Little League Kalama Little League North Mason Little League South Hill Little League Central Whidbey Little League North Shore Little League North Kitsap Little League Mercer Island Little League South Kitsap Eastern Little League North Portland Little League Everett Little League Northwest Little League Northeast Little League Queen Anne Little League Northend Nine Little League Auburn Little League Kent Little League RUG Little League Sammamish Little League Snohomish Little League South Highline National Little League South Whidbey Little League Stilly Valley Little League West Valley Little League Woodinville Little League Soundview Little League Key Peninsula Little League South Kitsap Western Little League Capitol Little League Steel Lake Little Lake Seattle Central Little League Lewis River Little League Pasco Little League Elma Little League Yakima National Little League Ridgefield Little League Salmon Creek Little League Shoreline Little League West Seattle Little League Glenwood Little League Snake River Little League Lake Stevens Little League North Lake Little League Snoqualmie Valley Little League Mukilteo Little League Pacwest Little League Fort Vancouver Little League La Grande Little League Everett Little League North Central Little League East Valley Little League Magnolia Little League East Jefferson Little League La Conner Little League Taborvilla Little League Mukilteo Little League Southwest Little League I'll be sending another email in early February to get nominations for the Art Mikelsen Grant as well as Bob Hellinger Volunteer of the year.

by J. P. 16 Jan '26

16 Jan '26

Hi All, Here is the master contact directory for each league in our District. If you want to reach out to someone in the District to schedule games, ask questions, etc.. then this is the list! It was good to see the increase in the Board size in a couple of our Leagues! Impressive growth in Tri-County/Deer Park.... Keep up the good work... remember, now is the time to recruit parents to be Board Members as many hands make light(er) work....

Advertising your Registrations
by J. P. 16 Jan '26

16 Jan '26

Hi All, I am marketing your registrations every other day on Social Media and have links up on the District website. If you all run into any players that want to do Intermediate division, I am thinking of forming a "District Team" as I have coaches and a few players (not enough yet) to form a team(s)... But if I can get 9-15 players to sign up, we'll do a District team this year... If no one else is going to have an Intermediate division. 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:image003.png@01DC86D2.918A8220][cid:image004.jpg@01DC86D2.918A8220]

by J. P. 16 Jan '26

16 Jan '26

Hi All, Here is the new template/info for the ASAP plan, now called "Safe Play"... Please keep in mind the need to get this done before March 31. Additionally: We have some new "Safe Play" information. The process is super easy. Attached the 2025 West ASAP plan for your league to use as a reference. Also attached is a "Safe Summary" example that each league will receive once they complete the required information in the Data Center. Watch the LL video for answers to common questions: https://www.littleleague.org/news/launch-of-little-league-safe-enhances-com…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.littleleague.org_n…> Additional training courses for this program are available here: https://www.littleleague.org/university/resources/all/?article-categories=c…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.littleleague.org_u…> These include the following: ~Safety Awareness (new) takes about 45 minutes ~First Aid Awareness (new) takes about 45 minutes Certificates are provided on all the LL courses. Safety Officers must log into the Data Center to create the league's SAFE summary document, which will need to be distributed to all volunteers and posted on the league website. Here is a list of the required items: (Use the attached 2025 ASAP manual to answer most of the requirements) BEFORE THE LEAGUE STARTS: Make sure the Board is updated, and the Facility Survey is reviewed and updated. 1. Safe Summary Cover Letter (LL offers a standard letter for leagues, feel free to make it your own, add your league logo) 2. League Officers & Contacts (make sure the data center is current with your league officers) 3. Child Protection 4. Emergency Planning 5. First Aid Preparedness 6. Equipment Safety 7. Field & Facility Safety 8. Concession Stand Safety 9. Training & Education 10. Accident Reporting 11. Rules & Best Practices 12. Sign & Distribute After completing the necessary steps, you will receive the league's "SAFE SUMMARY DOCUMENT," which should be distributed to managers and posted on the league's website. AIG District Incentive: One of the best things is that district can earn up to $800 now. Awards are as follows. * $200 for 90-100% by May 1 * $300 for 100% leagues completing required background check and abuse awareness training * $300 for strong district-wide participation in the LL training coursed, including safety awareness, first aid awareness, diamond leader, and other role-based training. (not sure what "Strong" means to LL but I have asked) * League Incentive: The annual AIG Insurance credit, equal to 15% of the accident insurance premium purchased thought the AIG Accident Insurance Pogram. League becomes eligible to receive a SAFE to Play grant application.

Remember Softball Juniors goes through age 14. You said 13, but we had some parents in the off season who told us they didn’t know their girls could play at 14.

Hi All, I am getting a couple of questions about Intermediate... I am sending them to West Plains and Deer Park when I get them. Also a couple on Juniors Softball... I am assuming on North Spokane is offering that. Remember this year the ASAP plan is DIFFERENT... Not harder, just different. If you don't have the new template, I can send to you. IT's also available on LLU. Please remember that to get our $600 for the District from Little League, we need all the ASAP plans in by April 1. I see some numbers building in the registration center! Good job everyone...
