by Brian Marantz 14 May '26

14 May '26

Given that some of you say you don’t get these, forwarding as FYI for to register --brian From: Nick Caringi <ncaringi(a)littleleague.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 6:52 PM To: Nick Caringi <ncaringi(a)littleleague.org> Cc: Kit Golden <kgolden(a)littleleague.org>; Jake Gallaway <jgallaway(a)littleleague.org>; Andrew Cortez <acortez(a)littleleague.org> Subject: DA Webinar Series - Tournament Excellence – Providing Leadership That Is Impactful [cid:image001.png@01DCE322.C8AE4690] Dear West Region District Administrators, As tournament season approaches, District Administrators are often placed in situations that require more than knowledge of rules and procedures. The most impactful tournament leaders are the ones who can provide clarity, communication, and leadership when pressure is at its highest. To help support you through the upcoming tournament season, we invite you to join our next District Administrator Webinar: Tournament Excellence – Providing Leadership That Is Impactful Featuring: Traci Duez Current Little League® World Series Umpire & Leadership Consultant Wednesday, May 27 8:00 p.m. ET 45-Minute Session This practical leadership session will focus on how District Administrators can strengthen their leadership presence during tournament play — not just through structure and enforcement, but through how their leadership is experienced by leagues, volunteers, umpires, and participants in real time. Throughout the session, Traci will explore: * What tournament excellence truly looks like beyond operations and logistics * How leadership shows up during difficult or high-pressure tournament moments * Common leadership tendencies that can unintentionally create challenges * Strategies for improving communication, consistency, and clarity during tournament play * How DAs can better lead volunteers and umpire teams through guidance and mentorship * A practical decision-making framework for navigating real tournament situations * The role District Administrators play in setting the tone and culture for the tournament experience Participants will leave with: * A practical leadership lens for navigating tournament situations beyond rule enforcement * Increased awareness of how leadership shows up under pressure * Simple tools to improve communication and decision-making in real time * A clearer understanding of the District Administrator’s role as both a mentor and leader * Immediate application through reflection on real tournament scenarios This will not be a traditional leadership presentation. Instead, it will be an interactive and practical conversation centered around the real experiences District Administrators face throughout tournament season. A recording will be made available to all registrants following the webinar. REGISTER HERE<https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eVkEYpvFRqGpfLjQKTcp_A> We hope you will join us for this timely and meaningful discussion as we prepare for another exciting tournament season across Little League®. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Sincerely, Nicholas L.

Here is the state directory for 2026. It contains the most recent information I have been sent. Some of it dates back to 2025, but is probably at least mostly current. Those with purple headings have sent information during 2026.

FW: May dates and Tournament Holds
by Brian Marantz 01 May '26

01 May '26

Just forwarding since some of you keep saying you aren't getting some of the emails from Kit, Western Region or LL. Given Tournament Time quickly approaching and the DA meeting listed below for May 26, I just want to ensure everyone sees this. --brian From: Kit Golden <kgolden(a)littleleague.org> Sent: Friday, May 1, 2026 8:33 AM To: westregion(a)littleleague.org Subject: May dates and Tournament Holds Good morning, West DA team! Happy Friday! As we have crossed over into the month of May, I wanted to provide a few quick notifications: May Webinar - LIVE: May 26th, 6pm PDT https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85659319113?pwd=3DKsJT6oX4oG4LWVGcg9j2Lnb2ztX3.1 Tournament chartering is now open. Please recommend to leagues that they charter all the teams that they believe they may have participating in the International Tournaments (for example, Seniors). If they do not send a team, they can change the count and be credited. It is much more difficult and cumbersome to attempt to charter a team after the deadline. Tournament Holds - Leagues owing for their Regular season charters have been placed on Tournament Hold. This restricts them from chartering Tournament teams. and they will see a similar screen to the one below. Please advise them that the Tournament Hold will automatically be removed after their payment is processed and may take until the updates are processed overnight to reflect in their Data Center dashboard. Please ask them to only call our office if they have other concerns as we cannot remove holds for non-payment. Tournament holds will reflect under the League name on your dashboard in red. League View: [cid:8982d3a1-61ef-4613-86d3-941ef862b591] If you are in the area, stop by the Regional Headquarters this weekend and support out softball program and enjoy a day at the ballpark!
