The past few weeks have been busy as we ramp up the Little League season—with coaching clinics, AAA and Majors drafts, the Wiffle Ball Tournament, and ongoing field preparations all happening at once. A huge thank you to our Board Members and Managers for the countless hours you put in behind the scenes to keep Los Gatos Little League running smoothly.
Our Majors and AAA divisions held their first practices yesterday afternoon. With the season officially underway, we want to call your attention to several important upcoming dates. Please be sure to review the calendar below, highlighting key events. It is available as a printable document on the LGLL website at https://www.lgll.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2743146
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) Meeting Thursday, February 26 at Blossom Hill Elementary is mandatory for all parents. In addition to reviewing essential Little League guidelines, a PCA speaker will lead a conversation on sportsmanship and how we, as parents, can best support our children and the lessons they learn through athletics. This is a parent only event. Attendance also counts as one volunteer hour toward your required 6 hour total.
Post-Season and All-Star Dates: The dates for TOC's and All-Stars extend further into the summer than in previous years. These dates are set by Little League International. Please keep these dates in mind should your team be in contention for post season play and/or your player want to be considered for an All-Star team.
