Getting used baseball gear back in the game!
Do you have a closet full of baseball pants, belts, gloves and cleats that have been outgrown? Are old batting helmets, catchers gear, bats and balls taking up needed room in your garage? Give those items and chance to play again through Second Base!

WHERE TO DONATE: At the Second Base table at Arden Little League Registration at Mariemont Elementary on January 4 and 12 and Arden Little League Tryouts on January 29 and February 4 at Valley Oak Park. Items can also be left in the collection box at 1324 Fitch Way. Donations are tax deductable!

August 22, 2011 by Ron Salvatori · Leave a Comment
If you missed the deadline but would still like to spend Sunday afternoons at the Valley Oak ball fields watching your son or daughter play a relaxed Minors, Majors, or Juniors baseball game – we have extended the deadline for sign-ups through Wednesday, August 24th.
In order to make it even easier for you – there is no need to make a special trip to Valley Oak Park. All you need to do to reserve a spot is to send an e-mail to Derick Brannan at derick.j.brannan@us.pwc.com, download the required forms (application and medical release) and mail them with a $20 check made out to Arden Little League to Derick Brannan at 4921 Phelps Ct., Carmichael, CA 95608.
The more players – the better the experience for everyone involved. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at the ball fields.
Fall Ball is coming
July 29, 2011 by Ron Salvatori · Leave a Comment
Does your son or daughter miss baseball? Does he or she want the opportunity to pitch, play shortstop, catcher in a game situation? Are you just looking for an excuse to spend Sunday afternoons outdoors? If you answered yes to any of these questions and your son or daughter will be eligible for Juniors, Majors or Minors Division Little League next Spring- then Arden Little League has the answer.
Fall Baseball or “Fall Ball” is an instructional league that allows players to learn and gain valuable experience for spring ball. Players have the opportunity to try different positions under low stress conditions. Practices are low key and are not mandatory. Coaches want to teach, players want to play and that is exactly what happens in Fall Ball.
We anticipate that the season will run from the end of August through in to early October. Final schedule and format will depend on the number of players – the more players, the better the experience. Games will be on Sunday and practices (if any) will be at the players’ and coaches’ convenience. Our goal is to avoid conflicts with Soccer but still take advantage of the great fall weather for some low key baseball. Sign-ups will be during the first or second week of August and there will be a small fee. More details to follow. If you are interested or would like to learn more – please send an e-mail with your name, your son or daughter’s name and an e-mail address to Derick Brannan at derick.j.brannan@us.pwc.com. We will add you to the distribution list and make sure that you don’t miss this opportunity.
