Additionally, the season will begin and end earlier in the year. The first games will be played
Sunday, August 22nd and the last game will be October 3rd. All games will be played in the
afternoon. Practices will be coordinated at a later date. If you cannot attend a practice or
a game it is no problem. But please be sure to notify your coach for planning purposes.

For Minors, nothing will change from last year. Teams will be created and a schedule will be set
to play each other once a week on the Blue Fields…

2010 Fall Ball Application and 2010 Fall Ball Medical Release Form.

For Majors and Juniors, individual teams will not be formed at the outset. Building on a very successful “collective practice” idea from last year’s Majors group, participants will have an optional weekly practice all together as a group (one practice for Juniors and one for Majors).

On game days, Major players will arrive at the Red Field and Junior players will arrive at the
White Field. Teams will be divided up on the spot and a game will be played. This will give the
players an opportunity to have a variety of teammates throughout the season.

This new format will maximize playing time, lessen the competitive pressure and relieve the
burden of travel during this busy time of year.

The cost to participate is $20 per player. You can sign up at the Valley Oak Snack Bar from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on July 28th or August 3rd. If you cannot attend that sign up opportunity, please print, complete, and mail the application and medical release form, along with $20, to Mike Maves at 1324 Fitch Way, Sacramento 95864.

Registration ends August 15.

Each player will receive an Arden Little League Fall Ball hat. Minor players will play in Arden Fall
Ball shirts that will be returned at the end of the season. Major and Junior players will wear their
own uniform from a previous team, creating a colorful field of play. All players will need to wear
baseball pants, socks and cleats.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in coaching, please contact Greg Young at
gregyoung@ardenlittleleague.com.  Minor team assignments as well as Minor/Major/Junior
coaching selections will depend on the number of players signing up and coaching interest.

Majors 10-11 All Stars – District 5 Game Schedule

Majors 11-12 All Stars – District 5 ‘Area 3′ Game Schedule

Juniors All Stars – District 5 ‘Area 2′ Game Schedule

• Announcer (may be only backup if Tournament Director Ken Smith isn’t available)
• Official scorekeeper
• Pitch count recorder/scoreboard operator
• Runner/League representative – Takes collections, runs raffle, take care of immediate needs of the game)

(The groups listed above should be at the field at least one hour before game time. The announcer should be there 1.5 hours early if acting as an Assistant Tournament Director)

Per Day:

• 4 Set Up Volunteers – Field prep. speaker setup, etc.
  (This group should be at the fields at least 1.5 hours before game time to allow plenty of time for set up prior to warm ups. This group should be able to leave after about an hour once set up is complete)

• 4 Take Down Volunteers – Field clean, and equipment break down, etc.
  (This group should be at the fields at about 7:30 p.m. and will start after the game activities end. Take down would last about an hour.

• 4 Snack Bar volunteers. This group should be there at least 20 minutes before the first scheduled game. Four volunteer adults are preferred as paying teenager subs in the snack bar erodes our revenue. There must be at least one adult who will work the BBQ.

We really need participation from all ALL families!

Please email me at casmith@smithmooreassoc.com if you can take on one of these volunteer spots. Our first issue is to get through the games prior to the 4th of July!

Thanks,
Catherine Smith
Volunteer Coordinator

Come out and watch the Major Yankees playing tonight (June 9) at Valley Oak. Go Yankees!

We’re looking forward to a strong turnout of Arden families.

We still need a number of volunteers tonight and for all upcoming tournament games. Grab someone who looks like they may know what they’re doing and see how you can get involved.
