T-Ball

T-Ball Registration

T-Ball registration for Spring 2009 is now closed.

T-Ball is only played in Spring.

For Spring 2010, registration will begin in late Fall 2009. Please check the dsll.org website as fall approaches for dates and times.

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 T-Ball?

T-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.

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.

Baseball Minutes

As of Monday, June 29:

Congratulations to Coach Dirks and the Reds for winning the Majors championship. The Reds also won the regular season title as well against very good competition. In the Minors (AAA), congratulations goes out to Coach Caneda and the Storm for winning the title.

I want to thank all Division Heads, Coaches, and Volunteers who helped make our 2009 baseball season a very successful one despite Mother Nature's challenges. I think we all learned a lot about field maintenance and managing through schedule changes. I certainly appreciated everyone's patience and support to make it all work in the end.

Finally, I hope you have a chance to get out and support our tournament teams this summer. Let's show why Devon Strafford is the home of champions!

Thanks and have a great summer.

Memorial Day Softball Tournament Schedule

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.

See you on the fields and if you have any other questions I can be reached e-mail: wagnercontracting@msn.com
