THE 2012 LITTLE LEAGUE SEASON MARKS THE 60TH YEAR OF SEAFORD LITTLE LEAGUE
The Seaford Little League was establised in 1952. The Seaford Little League would like to thank all current and former players and coaches who have made this Little League successful during the past 60 years.
Opening Day 2012
Rainout Information
Rainout
information will be recorded on the Seaford Little League answering machine and sent via text alerts only. The Seaford Little League website will not have rainout information and will be used for makeup dates and times only. If you are unsure of the game status, please
call 516-221-2725 prior to leaving your house.
The answering machine will be updated by 5:00 pm for all games
scheduled at 5:45 pm during the week. If there is no information on the machine, all players are expected to show up and the coaches and/or umpires will decide if the fields
are not playable. Umpires are also expected to show if there is no message on the
machine.
Seaford Little League AED Program
In
an effort to ensure the safety of our players and spectators, Seaford Little
League is proud to announce that ALL Seaford Little Leaguecoaches are now trained to perform CPR and operate an AED. Over the last few months, Seaford Little League,
Seaford Fire Dept and The Robbie Levine Foundation have worked together to certify
all of our coaches in CPR and AED use. From
this point forward, ALL our coaches will be required to remain certified in
these skills in order to be eligible to coach in our program.
Currently
a total of 7 AED's are now located at SeamansNeckPark,
St Williams, Waverly Ave
and WashingtonAvenuePark
which comprise all of our field locations.
AEDs are kept in secure boxes which have been purchased by Seaford
Little League to house the AEDs as well as Ice Packs and First Kits to help in less serious medical situations. These boxes will be unlocked by our coaches
before each game commences and then secured again once the game is game completed.
Seaford
Little League would like to take moment to thank The Robbie Levine FoundationandThe Louis J Acompora
Memorial Foundation for their generous donations of five of the AEDs for this
program and Andy Fassano MD who is helping supervise the program. The training of our coaches and
the purchase of the remaining AEDs and storage equipment have been paid for by
the Seaford Little League. The safety of
our players, parents, spectators, and all persons at our fields is our top
priority. We will continue to enhance
our AED program to best assure the safety of our players and spectators. If you have any questions, please contact
Seaford Little League at 516-221-2725 or seafordll@msn.com.
Seaford Little League Text Alert System
For the 2012 season we are introducing a text alert system to provide late breaking CRITICAL information to our participants for rainouts and other game delays/cancellations. Anyone with a cell phone can sign up for this FREE service (be aware that your carrier may charge you for the text messages).
For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below: The moratorium on composite-barreled baseball bats remains in effect. However, some composite-barreled baseball bats that have been proven in laboratory testing to meet the BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard throughout the life of the bat, through the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) process, have received waivers.
Note that in the Little League Majors Baseball Division and below, there is no limit on the “drop” weight of any bat.
For Junior League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, composite-barreled baseball bats in this division, regardless of barrel size, must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Note that all composite-barreled baseball bats that meet the BBCOR standard have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3.” However, in the Junior League Baseball division, bats that do not have composite materials in the barrel (i.e., all metal, all alloy, all wood), and meet all other applicable standards, can have ANY drop weight. Bats with a barrel of less than 2 5/8 inches also can be used in the Junior League Baseball Division, but must still comply with all other specifications noted.
For Senior League Baseball and Big League Baseball: The rule was updated to reflect the changes that were anticipated and published two years ago regarding bats with 2 5/8 inch barrels. As a result, all bats with non-wood barrels must meet BBCOR (Batted Ball Co-Efficient of Restitution) standards, and must be so labeled. Because all BBCOR bats have a “drop” of no more than “minus-3,” this means all non-wood bats in these divisions must have a drop of no more than minus-3.
The moratorium on composite bats, which now applies to all baseball divisions of Little League, does not apply to any softball divisions of Little League.
Note: The moratorium on composite bats only applies to composite-barreled bats. Bats that have only a metal/alloy in the barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle. (This note was added to this article on Jan. 5, 2011)
MLK Baseball / Softball Clinic to benefit Save Seaford Sports
The Seaford Little League would like to thank all of the players who attended the clinic on Monday, January 16th. A total of $1,430 was raised for Save Seaford Sports. The Seaford Little League would like to thank Prospect Sports for hosting the clinic. The players enjoyed the day.
