WHERE: Check-in at Perrigo Park
Players are requested to attend at the times listed below (alphabetically by last name)

10:00-11:00 – Last names A-C
-
11:00-12:00 – Last names D-H
-
12:00-1:00 – Last names I-M
-

-

Please allow 15-20 minutes for registration (sheltered area) and warm ups on the assigned field.
Makeup Evaluations
WHEN: Tue, Jan 31, 2012 6-8 pm (Please check in by 7 PM).
WHERE: Check-in at Hartman Park Fields 5 & 6 (Make-ups NOT at Perrigo)
Player evaluations are required for all baseball players Little League age 9 years or older (AAA thru Big League), and softball players 9-12 (AAA thru Majors). Also, 8-year-olds who want to play in AAA must attend evaluations (see more information below). Check the baseball age chart or softball age chart if you aren’t sure what Little League age means for your child.
Every player who attends evaluations will be placed on a team. The evaluations enable us to place children in a division where they will have the most chance of success and have fun, and also help us to form more evenly balanced teams.
The actual evaluation will take somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes for each player, but duration from start to finish will vary depending on how many kids show up at the same time.
You will NOT be turned away if you arrive before or after the assigned time.
Players should bring their gloves and, optionally, batting helmets. Little League-approved bats will be provided. Players should be dressed appropriately for the weather and boys should wear a cup. Players do not need to wear baseball pants, cleats, etc. (Cleats are not recommended, because the fields used for evaluations are artificial turf.)
If you didn't pay the registration fee when you registered, please do so now. You can pay online or send a check, or bring a check to evaluations. Scholarships are available for families who cannot afford the fees. Contact
for more information.
Note for 8-year-old players: In order to have a full number of players on each team, there is typically room for a few 8-year-olds to play in AAA. This is based on space first and then ability. Eight year olds who want to be considered to play in AAA must attend player evaluations. Note that 8-year-olds who played up in AA last year will not be automatically moved into AAA.Back to top

posted 10/07/2011
Juniors, Seniors and Bigs 2012
For the 2012 season RWLL will continue to have a Juniors, Seniors and Bigs Baseball program. Our program is one of the largest in the state because of the quality of our volunteers and players that we field year after year. Since Redmond North does not offer baseball past the majors level Redmond West has always expanded our boundary to include Redmond North players for Juniors and up.
For the 2012 Season RWLL will have 90' Juniors teams.
We will of course have Seniors teams which are consistently the best in District 9 and we plan to have 2 Bigs teams. The Juniors program is available to 12-14 year olds, Seniors is for players 15-16, and our Bigs teams are for 17-18 year olds. Because of the outstanding quality of our organization we open our Seniors and Bigs teams to players from all leagues in District 9. Our Bigs team was so successful last year that we are planning on 2 teams for the 2012 season which will make our Bigs program the largest in the State.
If you have any questions regarding these programs please contact
Scholarships are generously given upon request.
We have the best facilities and we want to continue to provide the best playing experience in the State.
Adult and Youth Volunteers are welcome.Back to top
| | | | 2012 RWLL Instructional Ball Manager Applications (by 1/23/12) | | | by
posted 01/05/2011 If you would like to be considered as an Instructional Ball manager candidate (baseball and softball for 8 years old and under), please fill out our online form, so that you show up on the radar for the manager-selection committee for your division. (One form serves all divisions/levels: http://tinyurl.com/rwll-manager-app .)
Alternatively, if you’re not 100% sure, please get your name in there, and put a note in the comments field, letting the manager-selection committee know of your intentions.

Box 273, Redmond, WA 98073-0273 (address it to Volunteer Coordinator, and write your division on the envelope and the form if you don’t mind). Please include a photocopy of your current Washington State driver's license.
I look forward to seeing you on the fields this spring! Back to top

posted 12/31/2010 Each baseball and softball team will have at least two Little-League approved bats in the team equipment bag. However, if you’re considering buying your ballplayer a personal bat, you’ll probably want to acquaint yourself with Little League rules, as they apply to bats.
Baseball and softball differ, in terms of the specific bats that can be used. If you see a softball bat marked "Little League Approved," you're probably fine. Most of the dynamics in bat rules have affected baseball, specifically.
More details follow ...
Read this page regarding Rule 1.10 first, as it’s in pretty plain terms (scroll down to Rule 1.10). Most wood bats are legal, but few kids seem to use them these days. You can always find “-9 oz. to -13 oz” (e.g, a 30 inch "-10" bat would weigh 20 oz.) aluminum bats for less than $100. Go to Baseball Bat Information if you want more details on composite bats. (That’s where LL starts splitting hairs, with regard to composite [not made of wood, and not made of aluminum] bats.)Back to top

posted 02/10/2010 Volunteer Form Required for Each Adult Volunteer
Any adult working directly with players must submit a volunteer application and a Little League background check prior to volunteering for the 2012 season.
Medical Release Form Required for Each Player
Managers in Little League must have a Medical Release Form for each player at all practices and games. It is the responsibility of players' families to complete these forms and provide them to the manager. Forms must be in managers' hands for the first team practice.
The form is available here in PDF format.
