2023 All-Star Interest/Tryout Information:

Little League International has kicked off its 2023 International All-Star tournament!! As such, the Somers Little League 2023 All Star season is right around the corner. Now is the time to let us know if your child is interested in putting his/her name in for consideration.

Players of ages 8-14 are eligible to attend evaluations prior to the selection of the All-Star tournament teams. Based on the number of eligible players, Somers Little League will determine the number of teams formed and what division we will compete in.

Please email joseph.radziewicz@sbdinc.com or somersllb@gmail.com to enter your child’s name no later than the end of the day on Sunday May 14th.

Evaluations will be conducted at 6-7 PM on Saturday May 20th and Sunday May 21st (should attend 1) at the Town Hall Fields.

Please understand that All-Stars is a significant commitment for players/parents and coaches. This will mean practices/games ranging from 6-7 times a week for many weeks starting in early June. To be selected to a team, it is expected that All-Stars is the first commitment of the respective player and their family during this period that can extend through July depending on our success.

To ensure expectations are known, our spring, fall and winter programs focus on player development and improvement with the goal of equal playing time. All-stars is different with the primary focus is on competition and winning. We strive to field the best team possible with player skill levels dictating playing time, potentially resulting in some players not getting time in a defensive position.

Following evaluations, the Coaches will work together to assemble the best teams/age groups possible.

Any questions, please reach out to your team's coach or any of the SLL board members. Please respond no later than Sunday May 14th.

Somers Little League

Our Mission:

Somers Little League is committed to our community and the development of our youth. We are about baseball as much as anything - not the game we adults watch being played but the game the kids feel. The pressure of the at bat, the butterflies before throwing the first pitch and the nerves when he realizes the fly ball is coming right at him. The tradition of this game brings opportunity to our towns youth that is second to none. As coaches and board members we are committed to teaching our little league ball players about character, courage and loyalty. We are committed to teaching them how to be a good teammate, how to lose with dignity, win with honor and that nothing worth doing comes easy.

News:

Somers Little League is seeking Umpires

Somers Little League (SLL) is developing an in-town Umpire Program. We are inviting high school baseball and softball players, and any other individuals 12 years and older, to help develop this program. This will be a fun and rewarding experience to expand your knowledge of the game and officiate in-town little league games.

We know that most high school baseball and softball athletes began their careers at the local town level and may feel a connection to serving the town little league. This will not only be benefit SLL, but will also enrich the knowledge and love of the game for the high school athletes.

SLL is offering options for paid games, as well as signing off on volunteer hours if a student athlete so chooses. Training tools will be provided through the Little League Internationals Umpire Registry. Please use the following link for information on the registration process and tools: https://www.littleleague.org/university/umpires/. Once you have completed the registration, the league will provide training information, background check, equipment and tools needed for this position. Umpire opportunities are available for the spring season and will run through the summer and fall baseball programs.

Interested candidates can contact Matt Killenbeck Umpire Coordinator at mattkillenbeck@gmail.com
