WELCOME TO GREECE LITTLE LEAGUE INC.
Greece Little League Inc. is a 501(c)(3)non-for-profit youth
organization run by Volunteers
started in 1954. We are chartered with Little League Baseball Inc.
the world wide Little League program whose headquarters is in Williamsport,
PA following their Little
League rules, regulations, and reporting to them. Our charter
has it's own Federally protected boundary that we must
abide by which is the Town of Greece and Village of Charlotte. Greece Little League Inc. has
had an approved Little League Baseball Inc.
ASAP safety program since the ASAP program's inception in 1994. Our books
are audited annually by an independent accountant.
We offer to our players the opportunity to tryout for our
Little Leagues Baseball/Softball Tournaments that depending on age go as
high as State or World Wide level along with local
tournaments that stop here in Monroe County. Our evaluations are to assist
in proper divisional player placement not cuts from our program. The only
time there are cuts is for tournament team(s). We do not discriminate due to
player ability nor skill nor gender. Players, managers, and coaches are
allowed to participate in more than one youth baseball/softball program.

perspective in your child.

becoming a nuisance.
Child's Letter
Dear Mom and Dad:
I hope that you won't get mad at me for writing this letter, but you always told me never
to keep anything back that ought to be brought out into the open. So here goes.
Remember the other day when my team was playing and both of you were sitting and watching?
Well, I hope that you won't get mad at me, but you kind of embarrassed me. Remember when I
went after the fly ball near the outfield fence and tripped and fell? I could hear you
yelling at me for being so clumsy. I sure was embarrassed - a little because I tripped,
but a lot because you were yelling.
Then do you remember yelling at me the next inning when I was up to bat? The coach gave me
the bunt signal so Terry could steal, but all you did was yell about why I was bunting
instead of hitting. At least Terry got to second safely.
You shouldn't have jumped all over the coach for pulling me off the field. He is a good
coach, and a good person, and he knows what he's doing. Besides he is just a volunteer
giving up his time to help us be better. I can tell he loves baseball.
And then neither of you spoke to me the whole way home. I guess you were pretty mad at me
for not catching that fly ball. I tried, but I guess I'm not much of an outfielder. I do
love baseball. It's lots of fun being with my friends and learning how to compete. It is a
great sport, but how can I learn if you don't show me a good example? And anyhow, I
thought I was playing baseball for fun, to have a good time, and to learn good
sportsmanship. I didn't know that you were going to get so upset because I wasn't the
star.
Your son/daughter,
Chris
