Danville Little League 9 Year Olds...
Tryouts for 9yr olds signed up for the postseason will be Sunday, 5/19, from 4:00-6:30pm at Osage Field #2 (AA). Players with last names beginning with A-Ma will be from 4-5:15 and MI-W from 5:15-6:30. We have added 15 minutes to each session to allow for pitching/catching workouts. The format of the tryout will be similar to that from the beginning of the season. Plan to arrive at the field at least 30 minutes early to register and warm up. We will also have a Parent’s Meeting at 5:05, in between the two sessions to give parents an overview of the postseason selection process and format of the season.

HEADLINES  | | | Challenger Jamboree 5/25/2013 by
posted 05/17/2013 Hello,
As some of you may know, D57 hosts a Challenger Jamboree each year on Memorial Day weekend at the Dublin Sports Grounds. Challenger is a division of Little League for physically and mentally challenged kids 5-18 years of age.
This year, we are hosting 26 teams from all over the Bay Area (and one from Southern CA). The games are on Saturday, May 25th. We are looking for volunteers to be buddies for our visiting and district teams. The ideal buddy would be 11-17 years old.
There are two shifts available: 8:30-10:30am and 12:30-2:30pm. Buddies may sign-up for one or both shifts. This is a truly memorable and enriching experience for both the players and their buddies, and I highly encourage your children to participate.
If you're in town next weekend, please come by and watch the games!
Thank you!

Baseball after Majors...
Hello Former Majors Parents,
Now that DLL Majors has wrapped up I know many of you are thinking about what is the next step for your son in regards to baseball. With my last calculations, I added up 14 different local baseball programs that are available to 13 year olds next spring. With 14 programs, choosing one can be a daunting task. Some of the programs are invitation only (coach contacts you) and most offer professional coaching at different price levels.
Over the past few years Danville Little League (DLL) has offered a Spring program for 13 and 14 year olds called the Junior 80’s (80 foot base path) and Junior 90’s (90 foot base path) programs. There are two levels in the “Junior’s” program. "Gold", which is an advanced level team chosen at the beginning of the season, and "House", which is made up of kids who just want to play ball. The Gold program is professionally coached by the Hoots, and the House program is coached by Dads, just like Majors. Being that the Gold program is professionally coached, the fee is priced accordingly, but is lower than most programs outside DLL. The House program is priced similar to last year in Majors. The Junior programs are housed locally (Danville), practices are local, most games are played within District 57, and there are playoffs and All Stars for the Junior levels. The 14’s do travel a bit further. There will be more information from DLL on these programs coming and tryouts will be held in January with the seasons starting in March and ending in Mid-June.
As always, you can contact me if you have any questions or want to talk about what’s out there for your son next year.

posted 06/16/2012
The DBacks scored 4 in the top of the 5th to go up by 2. Now in the bottom half of the inning with the bases loaded, the Cards hit a towering ball to straight away center that JUST missed being a grand slam. The ground rule double scored a couple, the Cardinals added 3 more and after 5 complete, DBacks 16, Cardinals 19. In the top of the 6th, DBacks score 3 more to tie. Bottom of the sixth, Cards get their first two batters on but DBacks then record 2 quick outs. Down to the last batter who lines a single just over the pitcher's head and the Cards squeek out a one run winner in one of the most exciting final games ever.

posted 06/15/2012 Cardinals 12 - Phillies 4
After battling through the losers bracket and beating a very tough Phillies team (9-6) in the first championship game, the Cardinals faced the Phillies again on Sunday, June 10th for the title. Powered by two fence clearing home runs by Evan Balingit, the Cardinals again came out on top 12-4 to become the 2012 Danville Little League Single A Champions. On offense, the Phillies were led by Noah Garcia who drove in 3 of the Phillies 4 runs. This was a great series by two of the top teams for the 2012 Danville Little League Single A Division.

posted 04/01/2012
If you were out at Osage today you may have seen the special commemorative patch that some players were wearing on the right sleeve of their uniforms. This patch is going to be provided to all 750 of DLL players this year. The patch will be worn in honor of Lance Cpl. Joshua Corral. "Chachi", as he was better know to his friends and team mates, was killed last November during combat operations in Southern Afghanistan. He was a 2010 graduate of SRVHS and also a former Danville Little Leaguer having played 9 years (1999 – 2007) from ages 7 – 16. Danville Little League is proud to know that it was part of this young man’s life, a man who decided to risk, and in the end, lose his life to protect his country and the freedoms that we all take for too much for granted. The patch is the league’s way of saying “Thank you” to Chachi and his family for everything they sacrificed for our country and town. Chachi is a national hero and Danville Little league will continue to remember his spirit.
The patches will be distributed by your team manager and should be ironed onto the right sleeve of your uniform. If you think it is appropriate, please take the time to explain to your son the reason and importance of the patch.
Thank you,
Brent A. Hughes
