Free Trading Card Offer For CVLL Kids

CVLL Families can enjoy making customized Trading Cards of thier Little League players through a special promotion sponsored by New York Life Insurance Company.  Upcoming opportunities will be held at Montrose Park on May 5th and 12th, 2012 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The Trading Cards are free and feature a customized photo of your child.

This baseball and softball season, Little League sluggers will circle the bases “safe and secure”— thanks to a national sponsorship by New York Life.

As the official life insurance sponsor, New York Life has a presence in more than 250 leagues across America, as well as at regional tournaments and the Little League Baseball® World Series.

“We are pleased to partner with Little League,” says New York Life Executive Vice President Mark Pfaff. “Their cornerstone values of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair-play align well with our values of financial strength, integrity and humanity. New York Life agents are highly active in their communities and this sponsorship will provide another opportunity for them to have a positive impact, support our boys and girls and have fun. We believe it will be a home run for everyone.”

One of a New York Life agent's primary roles is to help families and business owners protect what matters most. So on the field, look for local New York Life agents who will be conducting a Child ID program — a safety-oriented event during which all children will receive a free Child ID. And off the field, local agents are always available to help families and individuals develop a financial game plan.

2012 LL Updated Bat Rules

Updated in November 2011, Little League International has issued new rules on the use of composite bats in all baseball divisions. The new rules on composite bats only applies to composite-barreled bats. Bats that have only a metal/alloy in the barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle

Little League has provided the option for manufacturers to seek waivers for specific bat models and is maintaining lists of approved composite bats for the Junior (ages 13+) and above leagues and one for the Majors and below leagues (ages 4-12) .

You are encouraged to check the lists regularly as they will be updated as each bat model receives a waiver.

About CVLL

Crescenta Valley Little League (CVLL) is an all-volunteer, non-profit, organization  sanctioned by Little League International for the purpose of providing baseball and softball playing opportunities for both boys and girls, ages 4-18, residing in the communities of La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Montrose, and North Glendale.

Carl Stotz founded little League Baseball in 1939 in Williamsport, PA, and as millions of children on six continents and scores of countries can attest; baseball, softball and Little League are synonymous. Little League is a heritage to be carried forward proudly by ever increasing waves of those devoted to teaching children how to play and enjoy these great games.  

Our organization was founded in order to instruct young people not only in the fundamentals of baseball and softball, but good sportsmanship, team work and respect as well -- skills that every child will need later in life.  CVLL is chartered within California's District 16 , which is a part of Little League's Western Region.
