SUPPLIES AND PATCHES FOR 2008
 |
|
|
|
In the past, some of you may have stopped by the Regional Center to pick up supplies. There has been a change in the order fulfillment process and nearly all supplies are now shipped from Williamsport. Because of this change, the Regional Center now has a VERY LIMITED quantity of supplies.
PATCHES for 2008!!! Get your orders in early! The patches for some divisions are on back order. The sooner you place the order for your league, the better! You can order patches by contacting our office or at www.LittleLeaguestore.net
Also, please remember that that Rule Books and the Operating Manual are copyrighted publications of Little League Baseball, Incorporated. They are only available for purchase from Little League by District Administrators, Assistant District Administrators and other District Staff members, and members of the local Little League Board of Directors.
PLEASE, call us before stopping by the office to pick up supplies.

Central Region Umpire School Receiving Support!
|
|
|
|
Annually we conduct an Umpire School for Little League umpires throughout the Region. An important aspect to the school is the opportunity for each attendee to view his or her progress in plate mechanics by video taping them during instruction in the batting cages. We no longer have any video equipment. We know what we want to purchase and have asked all Districts for financial support so that we may purchase the new equipment.
MANY THANKS to the following Districts who we have already received donations from:
--Indiana District 10
--Indiana District 11
--Indiana District 14
--Kentucky District 1
--Michigan District 2
--Michigan District 11
--Minnesota District 1
--Illinois District 11
--Iowa, all Districts!
--UIC Clinic Attendees
--Illinois District 17
--Minnesota District 4
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the attendees of the UIC Clinic! That group made a $395 donation including a $150 from Illinois District 17 to the Umpire Audio/Visual Equipment Fund!

Keep the Flags Flying!
|
|
|
|
As many of you know, the "Champions Walkway" has been completed and is a very attractive and impressive addition to the Center (see photo below). The walkway is lined with all the state flags of our region. In order to keep the state flags flying as often as possible, we have asked the District Administrators to help provide us with the flags or the money to purchase the flags. The project was presented to the Regional Advisory committee and received their full support.
To date we have already received flags or the money to purchase flags from:
--Indiana (from all Districts)
--Kentucky (from District 1)
--Michigan (from District 2 and 11)
--Minnesota (from Districts 1 and 4)
--Ohio (two flags from District 3)
--Kansas (1 flag from District 2)
--Iowa (from all Districts)
--Wisconsin (2 flags from District 1)
BE A PART OF THE CHAMPIONS WALKWAY
If you are interested in a way to permanently recognize those who support the perservation and advancement of the Little League program and the great tradition that it represents for young boys and girls throughout the Central Region and throughout the world, a brick on the "Champions Walkway" is a great idea.
To purchase a brick and help ensure that the tradition continues to be told to generations to come, click to download an order form.

Constitution Reviews and Updates
|
|
|
|
Local Rules, Ground Rules and Bylaws
Remember, your leagues local rules, ground rules, and bylaws are developed, maintained, and approved annually by the Board of Directors, and are not considered part of the Constitution. NONE of your local rules should conflict with Little League Rules, Regulations and Policies. Also, existing Little League Baseball Rules, Regulations and Policies should not be re-stated in your local rules, as it invites conflicting interpretations. Local rules, ground rules and bylaws expire each year (unlike the constitution, which governs the league meetings, etc., until it is amended by the Membership and approved by Regional Headquarters.)
