Presidents Report

 

Players’ Draft and Manager Rules- All necessary information needs to be included in the Managers Packet.

Directive to follow the Little League rules.

Coaches and manager options only ratified with a unanimous vote, by roll before the drafts.

There is correspondence due to a formal complaint to the league last year that has raised the emphasis on this subject.

 ACTION:   Brita to do additional research and review with board.

 

Managers’ Packets- The managers packets are to include tournament rules, bracket layouts, standings and incomplete game. Tournament rules and Little League playoff rules need defined along with the information to the managers.

 

ACTION:   George to provide information for board to review.

 

Drafts- not all major league teams have to take 12 year olds. It is okay to stay in minors if determined unsafe for a child to participate at that level of play. Managers should be providing appropriate feed back regarding kids skill level and the safe playing behaviors required to play at that level.

In contrast you can draft one 10 year old per team.

 

President to be present at player review.

 

Motion via email.
