Snack Bar Schedule - posted 3/31/08 The following are the team assignments for the snack bar schedule. Please make sure your team covers their assigned time.
Facts Regarding Non-Wood Bats "Little League supports the right of a local Little League to implement a wood-only rule, and we support any league’s right to make that choice for its local community. Some prefer the game played with wood bats, and that’s fine as well. But Little League International does not accept the premise that the game will be safer if played exclusively with wood, simply because there are no facts – none at all – to support that premise."
Complete Little League position on non-wood bats Exciting things are happening at the UPLL Field complex! UPLL has recently received two significant donations that will be used to make capital improvements to our playing fields, batting cages and other buildings at the facility. We received a $5,000 donation from an anonymous donor and a $7,500 donation from Premier Planning Group, Phoenixville, PA and their primary underwriter Union Central. David Fazzini and Frank Hennessey are Principals at Premier Planning Group and their children participate in Upper Providence Little League. A heartfelt thank you for such a generous contribution to the league!!! We are in the process of adding a new ball field and replacing our batting cage complex to accommodate our ever growing participation. Donations, in any amount, are greatly appreciated and we can assure you put to good use to improve the Little League experience for the kids. Donations can be mailed to UPLL-Field Renovation Project at our PO Box or can be made On-Line. The site will automatically generate a receipt. Click here to make a donation.

Spring Junior Baseball program returns UPLL is offing a Junior Baseball program for 13 and 14 year old boys (age as of April 30, 2008) in 2008. This will be played on 90 foot bases with regular baseball rules. We'll begin in early March (weather permitting) and go through late June, including double-elimination playoffs. We will have practice during the week. The games will be on Saturdays from beginning some time between 9:00 and 6:00 and/or Sundays from 1:00 to 6:00. PA District 27 will schedule the games so some local travel will be involved. This league will be competitive however this is still a recreation league so all kids will play. Contact Steve Gouveia for more information.

|
The Challenger Division of Little League Baseball was established in 1989 to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, ages 5 through the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. Our UPLL Challenger program is a "play for fun" league which emphasizes fun and team participation. Some kids hit from a batting tee, while others use "coach pitch", and everyone gets a chance to bat every inning. We typically play 2-3 innings on the weekends against other Challenger teams from around the area.
Additional information on the Little League Challenger Baseball Division can be found at http://www.littleleague.org/divisions/challenger.asp
This year's Home Challenger games will be on 4/20, 4/27, 5/4, 6/8 and 6/15 all at 1PM. Every player needs has a buddy who helps in the field so lots of volunteers are needed. Come on out and volunteer your time or help cheer on our Challenger Division.
For further information about the UPLL Challenger program or if you wish to volunteer your time, please contact the Challenger League Commissioner: Frank Disanto.

Little League implements pitch counts to protect pitchers' arms in 2007 Starting with the 2007 season, pitchers in all divisions of
Little League, from age 7 to 18, will have specific limits on the
number of pitches and specific periods of rest based on the number
of pitches.
UPLL has updated our rules to document the
mechanics of how this will be tracked. See the links listed
below for Little League's pitch count information. 2008 Little League Pitch Count Rules

2008 Safety Information Your board at UPLL has been working all fall and winter to make the UPLL complex a safe and fun place to play ball. In addition to taking great care to fix up the fields, they are always working on the dugouts and lighting to ensure the safety of our children. It should also be noted that the dissengagable bases Little League has made mandatory starting this 2008 season have been used at UPLL for many years. It appears to me and, I hope, to you that many hours of thought go into safety at UPLL. There are many other little things that you and I can do to make this season a safe one:
MRSA Bacteria and Athletes
At UPLL we understand that some of you are concerned about the outbreak of the MRSA bacteria in our area this past year. We understand this concern and have put together some information which we hope will both help educate you and feel more confident that we at UPLL take this seriously.
Follow this link to the CDC's overview of MRSA and Athletes Follow this link for an instructional video on MRSA Accident Reporting Procedures - What to Report? An incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpire, or volunteer to receive medical treatment, to receive first aid or if there is a concern that further medical evaluation may be required. The Injury Tracking form must be completed and reported to the league safety officer within 48 hours of incident. The form should be filed in the Safety Officer’s mailbox located in the Snack Stand. Please contact the Safety Officer if further information is required.
