09 Summer Ball Tournament playing rules for ALL divisions (10s / 9s)  and  (12s / 11s) are ready now (MS Word and PDF documents) and are posted in the documents section of this site.  Please note that the 3 July version states that the 12s and 11s divisions play seven (7) innings games.  The Documents Menu tab is on the left side of the home page.

These are Pioneer League exceptions to the Little League Rules for 2009.

Summer Ball game schedules for the 10s, 9s, and 11s  are now posted and viewable.  Please check out the Top Menu Page named Web Site Viewing Tips if you are new to this system.  Most of you may remember from last Summer.

(9:58 am).  I resolved the Murray Division problems and just posted the 12s schedule.

Summer Ball Managers...The site is ready for player registration.  Managers were emailed instructions.  If you feel comfortable beginning now, go for it.

If any of you need to pass GPS or Google Maps info to parents so that they may find Pioneer Park (Founders, Hawkes, and Pepe Fields), please use 452 Merrimac St.  ZIP Code 01950.

Also, please begin any appropriate "No Rain Dance" routines.  Awards for the most creative and effective ones...grin.  Light rain between 10 pm and 8 am is however acceptable...smile.

Parents and players,

Please be aware that we have added a potentially very helpful menu tab to the home page.  We encourage you all to access the web site and view the tips we have listed.  The tab is titled:  Web Site Navigation/Viewing Tips.  It is located in the top section of the home page.

We encourage you to "explore" the site.  You cannot break it...smile.  Click and select lines, items, calendar dates, etc. Click on various menu tabs on the top and the left sides of the home page. 

We encourage you to "lean on" your child's manager and coaching staff to use the web site to its fullest advantages also.  There are team specific sections for your use.

Also please note the tab on the left side titled Hey Coach.  There are important items there too.

If there is a "feature" that you believe needs more explaining to the entire league membership, please let me know and I'll do what I can to help.

Finally, there are at least 35 web site members who are NOT getting emails.  They need to update them NOW.  But then, since their addresses are incorrect or they have not set up their spam filters to receive emails from the web site, they will not get this...ugh.

Parents...Please read the news notes below concerning Email Addresses and Spam Filters.  It is VERY IMPORTANT that you all do so. 

Managers and coaches, please communicate with your players' parents - in person if necessary - that they must have correct email addresses and cell phone numbers in the web site database and that they must update the info themselves.  They will miss game cancelation notices and other important communications from the League if they do not update their contact info.

If you do not set your spam filter correctly, you may not receive any communications from this Pioneer League Web Site!

Please allow communications from:  Notification@LeagueAthletics.com

If you are unsure how to configure the spam filter, please contact your service provider or neighbor/friend who knows how to do it.

We are experiencing way too many kick backs on messages that managers and league officials are sending out. 

Parents - you MUST keep the addresses up to date or you will not receive important communications from us.  Those communications include messages from your child's manager or coach, notices of game postponements or cancellations, or notices pertaining to league activities.

You may update your street address/phone numbers/e-mail addresses by clicking on the "Edit My Account" tab on the home page.  You will need to enter your e-mail address currently on record with the site and your password you set up at registration.  Click on submit and you will be have access to your family account.  Click on the name of the person(s) to whom the editing will be applicable.

You may also list a maximum of 2 email addresses per person - to include the player also.  Please separate them with a comma.  Click submit when complete.
