| Junior League Spring Registration |
 With the launch of our new website, we're also be unveiling a revised registration process along with an expansion of our league to include Junior League, which is a full-sized field offering for 13-14 year old players. This pilot program will be run in conjunction with District 2 Little League, so Fairfield American does not have unlimited team/roster spots. As a result, please register as quickly as possible so we can gauge the level of interest in this offering.
More information regarding Junior League will be available on the website, within the online registration page and in future email updates. Also, if you know of a family that has 13 and 14 year old children that might be interested in participating in Junior League, please feel free to forward this email to them
Speaking of registration, there are a couple of new wrinkles (we hope improvements!) to the process. You'll now be able to use a credit card to pay for registration if that is your preference. In addition, you'll have the option of purchasing a helmet (complete with c-flap) while registering, and we'll deliver it to you during Junior League evaluations.

Moratorium on Composite Bats
|
 Little League International has placed a moratorium on the use of composite bats in the Little League (Majors) Division and all other baseball divisions of Little League, effective immediately.
On Sept. 1, Little League International placed a moratorium on composite bats in the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League. Subsequent to that moratorium, some composite bat models have received a waiver and may be used in those divisions. Information on the composite bats that have received waivers for the Junior, Senior, and Big League Baseball Divisions of Little League may be found here: http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbats.htm At present, no composite bats for the Little League (Majors) Division and below have received a waiver. If and when any models do receive a waiver, Little League International will inform its leagues of that decision.
We'll be sure to communicate more information on this issue as it becomes available in the coming months. In the meantime, please make sure that any bat that is purchased for a 13-14 year old Fairfield American Little League player meets these guidelines. More information can be found on Little League's Facebook page.
