May President's Message

Usually, my President's Message is inspirational in some way and designed to help our parents, coaches and players be the best they can be.  This month, I am reserving my space for a huge announcement   It is with great pleasure that I bring you the following news.

The 2013, inaugural season, Intermediate Division Maryland State Tournament has been awarded to District 2 (Four County Little League) and will be held at Summit Ridge Park.

This is both a great honor and a great challenge.  We have lots to do.  We need a committee to get together very quickly to start to work on this.  The event start on or about July 6 and should last about a week.

I am very excited about this on a number of fronts.  This is a great opportunity to promote our league, our district and the town of Mt. Airy which is our center and our base.

This is going to be a big effort and we will need volunteers to help.  Keep in mind, FCLL may not have a team involved, but it is still important to provide a great experience for all the kids from around the state.  There should be about 5 districts involved and one of our goals is to make this successful so that leagues want to expand their Intermediate programs for next season.  The winner of this tournament will go on to the Regional tournament held in New York.  The winner of that tournament will then go to the World Series held in CA.

Many folks don't realize that FCLL is more than just a great place to play baseball in the spring.  We are part of Little League International.  Little League, each summer, operates numerous International Tournaments that FC competes in.  This year is the inaugural season for the Intermediate Division and we are so excited to promote both the league, the division and our district by hosting this event.  If nothing else, mark your calendars for that week and stop by and see some very high level baseball.  Keep in mind, one of the teams that wins could make it to the World Series.

If you are interested in helping with the event, please email president@fcllbaseball.org
