FCLL Press Release

For immediate release

Local Little Leagues to add new division for 11/12 year olds

Mount Airy, Maryland – December 22, 2010Four County Little League, and several other leagues in Maryland District 2, will now offer a new supplemental 50’/70’ program to their Little League Baseball program.  Traditionally, Little League Baseball, up to the age of 12 years old, is played with a 46’ pitching distance and a 60’ baseline.  This is how the game was played in 1939 when Carl Stotz modified the traditional 90’ baselines for a group of kids in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  Stotz was the founder of Little League and the game has remained relatively the same ever since.  Traditionally, at the age of 13, the kids jump from a 60’ diamond to a 90’ diamond.  Over the past decade, there have been numerous other youth baseball organizations that have started playing 11 & 12 year olds on the 70’ diamond.  Little League International recognized this and in 2010 announced a 50’/70’ pilot program. 

For this upcoming 2011 season, Four County Little League will offer a Sunday only supplemental 70’ baseball program.  The new division is a supplemental program that will be played in addition to their normal “in house” Majors team program.

The current Four County Little League President, Jim Gill, said, “Other organizations, such as Pony League or Ripken Baseball, are already playing their 12 year olds at 70’, so this will give kids who have played for other organizations a chance to play with Four County Little League.  We are looking forward to this addition and hope it attracts some new players and some additional talent to our league.  We have talked to East Frederick Little League and they are committed to playing and we also have commitments from teams in District 1 and District 4.  Our hope is that the other leagues in our District put a team together so we can play mostly in our area.  With “in house” play, the Sunday only program and the tournaments this Summer, our kids are going to play more baseball than they ever have with Four County.”

To find our more about Four County Little League or to register for the upcoming season, visit the league’s website at www.FCLLbaseball.org.

Why play with Four County Little League?

Over the last few years local Little Leagues in this area have lost players to other baseball organizations and this has been a constant question in my mind;  Why?  Well, instead of trying to understand why, otherwise happy members, leave, I thought I might go over why someone should stay or join Four County Little League.

  1. A Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) - is designed increase awareness of the opportunities to provide a safer environment for kids and all Little League participants.  Bottom line is with this program, injuries are down.  Four County Little League has been ASAP compliant for several years and plan to stay compliant every year.  To find our more about ASAP click here.  The number one concern here is the safety of our kids.
  2. Pitch Counts - Not just innings pitched, but number of pitches.  The medical advisors to Little League have seen a reduction in arm injuries with the implementation of the pitch count rules.  Even non-Little League programs are using our system to stay safe.  Click here to read about a high school team who has implemented the pitch count.  People may not realize this, but Little League is a pioneer in youth sports safety.  From the development of batting helmets to the implementation of the pitch count, Little League is a leader in youth sports safety.  The safety of the children is first.
  3. Background checks - All volunteers in Four County Little League are required to submit to a complete background check.  This includes all Managers, coaches, umpires and parents with continuous contact with the kids.  Once again the safety of the kids is of utmost importants.
  4. We are Little League - We follow the rules and policies of Little League International which has been around since 1939.  This non-profit organization has 2.5 million children worldwide play Little League which makes it the largest single youth sports organization in the world.  Bigger than lacrosse, youth football and cheer leading.  We are part of something big.
  5. Mandatory Play - Want to play competitive baseball and sit on the bench?  Not here.  Everyone plays.  We have minimum playing requirements and everyone plays baseball.  Even our top Majors Tournament team has minimum playing requirements.  You signed up for baseball, you will play baseball.
  6. Opening Day Celebration - Each season we celebrate opening day with a large event culminating with the ceremonial "running of the bases" and the season's first pitch.    
  7. Low Registration Rate - Look around.  Find another sport in this area that you can play for under $100.00.  Dollar for Dollar Four County Little League is the best most affordable sport in the area.  Try horseback riding $45-60 a lesson,  try other baseball organization $150 - $1000 a season.  Four County provides you with as many games as you can play, a uniform and tons of practice.  Plus if you are selected to our Tournament teams, you get an additional uniform at no more cost to the parents.  The league picks up the tab for the post season costs.  We also run numerous Free clinics for both players and coaches as well as plenty of batting cage time.  Our Umpires and coaches all receive free resources to help them do their job and teach your children.  Backed by Little League International, our coaches have videos, books and more at their fingertips.  Finally, FCLL puts on an end of season carnival and movie picnic in which the entire family gets together to celebrate the end of the season.  With all the food games and rides provided to you at no cost, this is a one of a kind event.  No other organization in the area puts on a show like we do.  Call around, do some research.  FCLL is the lowest cost sport in the area.
  8. We are local - You will probably only drive 15 to 20 minutes to most games and practices.  Little League is your home town baseball league.
  9. We travel - That's right, we travel to other leagues in our District and even to other areas of the state.  Our Sunday teams travel to Western Maryland and to the Baltimore area.  In addition, there are plans for our tournament teams to play in more travel style tournaments this summer.  If you want to travel, we can travel.
  10. Positive Coaching Alliance - Little League International and Four County Little League has adopted the Positive Coaching Alliance philosophies.  Started at Stanford University in 1998, PCA helps create a positive, character-building youth sports environment for more than 3 million youth athletes.  Some of the top coaches in the nation are on the board of directors and follow the same philosophies.  So to say it's touchy, feely, everybody plays non-sense nothing could not be further from the truth.  Ask Phil Jackson, Dusty Baker and the other advisory board members if they think it's all touchy feely.  PCA teaches to win, but winning is not necessarily defined by the scoreboard.  Want to know more about PCA, click here.
  11. We start teaching early - We have a clinic style T-Ball clinic for kids as young as 4 years old.  We teach the kids to play baseball and have fun.  As they move up in division, we teach life lessons utilizing the Positive Coaching Alliance philosophies.  We want them to learn life lessons through the great sport of baseball. 
  12. We have provide competitive baseball up to age 14 - That's right.  Think your done at age 12?  No way!  Our Juniors program provides baseball at the 90' level and is designed to prepare a player for high school and upper level baseball.  Little League offers baseball until the age of 18, but unfortunately in this area we don't have many teams above age 14 in Little League.  Just keep in mind when you start at age 4, Four County is your home for baseball until you are age 14.
  13. We have a new and exciting 70' division -  Many other organizations already play their 12 year olds at 70'.  Little League still plays their 12 year olds at 60', but this year we are running a Sunday only 70' division for our best 11/12 year olds.  So maybe you wanted to play with us, but we did not have 70'.  Now we do.  Keep in mind the 70' program is a supplemental program on Sunday's only.  11/12 year olds will still play their traditional Majors team Monday through Saturday.
  14. The Little League International Tournament - Every summer our league participates in the International tournament culminating in Williamsport, PA at the Little League World Series which can be seen on ESPN and ABC.  How about being part of something this big?  A few years ago, when Hargarstown made it to the LLWS, you could not help rooting for them.  This past season, our fellow District Team, Brunswick, made it all the way to the regional tournament.  Four County Little League members watched and rooted them on all the way.  It was not our team, but in a way it was...They were from Maryland District 2,  That is our District.  We will battle you all the way on the field, but once the game is over, we are all part of the same family.  To read all about the LLWS, click here.
  15. Positive comments from Parents - Below are some quotes from parents:
    1. "FCLL is like family.  My son has so much fun and can't wait to get to baseball." Maureen, Mount Airy, MD 
    2. "Four County cares so much for the kids.  They put teaching the kids baseball over winning.  The funning thing is that the kids excel even though the focus is not on winning." Pat, Mount Airy, MD
    3. "We chose to play baseball with Four County because we heard it was a family-friendly league that emphasized having fun, which it is.  7 years later our boys continue to play baseball with four county because they have learned the skills to play baseball competitively while simultaneously learning to play fair and learning what it means to be part of a team."  Jenny, New Market, MD

Coaches and Parents,

Here is something I recently received from the Positive Coaching Alliance addressing a question related to select or travel teams versus in house play. I think it is very telling and certainly illustrates what we are doing here at Four County Little League.

Pat Ronan
Coaching Director, FCLL

Will House League Play Diminish My Son's Talent?

"My 11-year-old son's select-team baseball coaches are upset that he is also playing house league Fall Ball, which my son loves, because it is so relaxed and fun. These select coaches say that playing with 'bad' players will hurt my son's talent. I'm curious what the general thought is on this."

-- Troubled in Texas

Here is part of the response from Eric Eisendrath, Lead Trainer-New York for the Positive Coaching Alliance.

“I would ask the coach to identify what he or she values most in a player. Research of college athletes has found that athletes who play for a coach who they (the athletes) believe values hard work and effort above all else, improve more and perform at a higher level than coaches who value talent foremost.”

Snap Fitness A's headed to the Championship Game.

The Four County A’s did it again this evening at Brunswick in the Tournament of Champions, defeating Frederick American by a score of 7-3. Kyle “Pablo” Brodt pitched a complete game for the victory, keeping the American team off-balance by changing speeds throughout the contest. The A’s got down 2-0 in the top of the first, but came back with a run in the bottom of the first on a leadoff single by Jake Moorman and an RBI double by Mayes Lane. The A’s then broke it open in the bottom of the second with a 6 run outburst, powered by hits from Mitchell Kline, Eddie Katonka, Jake Moorman, Charlie Ronan, Pablo Brodt and Dylan Nylander. The A’s then played solid defense the rest of the game to preserve the lead and secure the victory. The A’s will now play defending champion Brunswick for the T.O.C. championship on Monday evening at 6 pm at Brunswick Little League.

Walk off home run wins it for the Snap Fitness A's.

The Majors A’s represented Four County LL in the first round of the District 2 Tournament of Champions today at Brunswick Little League against the representative from Frederick National. It was a very tight game the entire way with no team leading by more than one run at any point. National took the lead in the first inning with a couple of solid hits of A’s starter Charlie Ronan. However, Ronan (who pitched a complete game for the win) settled down and kept National scoreless for the next four innings. Meanwhile, the A’s fought back with a clutch two out hit by Zach Federici to score the tying run in the fourth inning. In the top of the fifth, Kyle “Pablo” Brodt made the defensive play of the game when he caught a fly ball in center field and quickly fired a strike to first base to double off the runner who had strayed too far off the bag. The A’s took the lead in the bottom of the fifth on an infield single by Dylan Nylander which scored Mayes Lane. Lane was on second to start the play, but he never stopped as he came around third and beat the first baseman’s throw to the plate. National tied the game with a clutch two out single in the top of the sixth. But, in the bottom of the sixth, with the score tied 2-2, Logan Buckner led off. On an 0-2 pitch he smashed a ball well over the center field fence for a walk off win for the A’s.

PCA at its best...Armando Galarraga "We're human..."

We are so used to reading or hearing in the news stories about baseball players and athletes who get arrested, get drunk or get tossed from a game.  This week we have one of the best examples of good sportsmanship and all we hear about is how Bud Selig should reverse the call or we should have instant replay.  What is lost in this story is the way Galarraga has acted from the moment this whole incident transpired.  With a smile and a nod, he continued to pitch after the controversial call.  He did not say a word to the umpire.  Later he was quoted as saying, "We'er human...we make mistakes".  There are only 20 other pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball who have thrown a perfect game.  This umpire cost him his perfect game and all he has to say is "We'er human...we make mistakes".  What is wrong with this guy?  Nothing is wrong with him.  He is the best example of true sportsmanship there is.  Part of what we teach our league is "ROOTS".  One of the "O's" is for Officials.  We learn to respect the officials and know that they have a difficult job.  Galarraga must practice ROOTS because attitude and graciousness is second to none.  We can learn alot from this fine player.

Here are a few stories about his graciousness after the incident.

2010 Safety Program

The season is fast approaching.  Little League takes pride in the fact that we have a safety track record second to none.  Some of the safety innovations you see in other youth sports got their start here in Little League.

Part of our Safety plan is that ALL of FCLL's volun
teers go through a background check prior to interacting with our children.

If you are a Managers, Coach, Umpire, Team Parent, or have any other continuous contact with the players of FCLL, you MUST complete a volunteer application and submit it with a copy of your driver's license.  This needs to be done each year you volunteer.  Even if dad want's to help the manager at practice for a few practices or games, you must complete the form.  It only takes minutes and only needs to be done once a year.

P
lease take a minute to download the form by clicking here.  Then you have a few options to turn it in.

  1. Scan it and email it to safety@fcllbaseball.org (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must scan your driver's license as well - Note:  this is the preferred method of turning in your form)
  2. Fax it to 866-741-4123 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must fax your driver's license as well)
  3. Mail it to:  P.O. Box 512, Mount Airy, MD  21771 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must mail your driver's license as well)
  4. Hand it to a league representative prior to February 21, 2010 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must provide your driver's license as well)
The league receives discounts and incentives for being 100% compliant.  Last season we were the first league in our district to be 100% compliant.  Let's do it again in 2010.  We need to have all the volunteer forms to a league official by February 21.  If you have any questions, you can email safety@fcllbaseball.org

If you even think you will help out, please submit the form.

Thank you for your help.
