Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers!

The League needs help to make the season successful.  We are keeping registration and sponsorship fees the same this year, but do need help with several initiatives.  Look for detail on the following opportunities:

Registration
Sponsorship
Opening Day
Bat-a-thon
Team Parent
Field Help
Coaching
...and many others

It truly does "take a village" 

DSLL celebrates 50th!!!

Devon Strafford Little League is celebrating our 50th anniversary!!!  Look for opening day celebrations on April 10th, 2010, 50th logo, and special fan gear.  This milestone would not be possible without the support of families, the township, and our sponsors.

DSLL Board Meetings

The DSLL Board will meet on Monday, December 14th at 7:30 PM at Valley Forge  Middle School.  The Board meets on the second Monday of the month unless a Snow Day causes school closure then the third Monday will be the night.   All parents of DSLL players are welcome. 

Student Umpire Clinic

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, Berwyn-Paoli Area little League is sponsoring a Student Umpire Clinic at Valley Forge Middle School.   It starts at 9 AM and ends at 11 AM.   Every student in District 27 is welcome to participate.  We at DSLL support BPALL's effort to teach and promote student umpiring.  There is no fee so just show up at 9 AM and start calling strikes.  Well not so fast, you will have to learn that art.   

T-Ball

Tee Ball Registration

Tee Ball registration for Spring 2010 is now open and will remain open as long as spots are available (probably through mid-March).

There is no late fee for registration for tee ball. 

For the Spring 2010, the T-Ball grouping includes boys who are 5 or 6 on 4/30/2010 and girls who are 5 or 6 on 12/31/2009.
 
What Is Tee Ball?

Tee Ball is Devon-Strafford Little League’s introductory level instruction to baseball for boys and girls 5 and 6 years of age.  Our objectives are to teach basic baseball fundamentals, good sportsmanship, and above all, give players an enjoyable and positive introduction to the fun and excitement of team sports.


For the Spring 2010 season, the league is introducing a coach pitch option for 6 year olds.  

The season usually begins in late March or early April and runs through to the beginning of June with one practice weekly on weekdays and one game each week on Saturdays.

If you have any questions, please contact Rob Miller at registration@dsll.org

Sandlot Softball
New this year, DSLL will have a Sandlot Softball program for all registered players.  Several times a month, we will schedule a time for players, parents, and coaches to come out and play.  DSLL will have a pitching machine, tees, nets, and other equipment available for additional practice time, drills, or pick-up games.  We hope this provides more opportunities for our players to just come to the field and play softball!

Juniors International Team Tryouts

Juniors International tournament team tryouts have been rescheduled for this Monday the 22nd at Valley Forge Middle school 6-730PM.

Depending on the number that want to play, coaches availability, and the interest from the other leagues, then there may be an “invitational” tourney designed for those that want to continue to play one more round and do not make it past the district level This tourney is designed to include first, those that did not play on the International team, and then can be filled with those that want to continue to play a bit longer into the summer. This all happens after the conclusion of district level International play.

To the parents, please be informed that it is expected that your son will be available to make as many practices and the games as humanly possible. If you have a scheduled vacation over the period of the tournament, please let it go so that someone else can fill that position in the lineup who will be available to play.
The tournament will be a double elimination tournament that will start on or about July 5th and run approximately 2 weeks. Might only last a couple of days if you lose. If you continue and win at the district level, the same procedure then is used at the sectional level, then again at state level, again at regionals, and finally at national. Potentially could play the entire summer. Odds are very, very long for that scenario and has never happened to any of our teams or any in the area. We have made it into sectionals but that is a far as any have ever gone at the Juniors level. Just want you to be aware.

This is a tremendous amount of time, effort, commitment and work on the part of the coaches. Please show your appreciation by supporting in any way possible. We will be hosting games as well as playing in them and it may mean we/they will need you to act as the head official game director at a game that our team is not even participating in, as well as some other duties such as field preparation, food supply to the teams following the games, passing the hat or whatever capacity the coach asks for help with. I alone have been putting in 25 plus hours/week supporting Devon Strafford’s program enabling your children to reap the benefits of our wonderful program and most of your coaches are doing the same and more. Please help them in anyway you can!!! This doesn’t happen by accident.
