Georgia Continues to Add Baseball and Softball Leagues for 2012
Fall is the time many baseball and softbal programs look at whether to continue their current affliation or to make a change. Georgia has already chartered 3 new leagues for the spring 2012 season, almost before the leaves have started to fall.
Newton County will convert all their 12 and under divisions from Dixie to Little League for 2012. They join District 10 under the administration of Robin Scott. Welcome Newton County Little League!
Toombs-Montgomery Counties will convert their baseball and softball programs from GRPA to Little League in 2012. They join District 9 under the administration of Jimmy Fortson. Welcome Toombs County Little League!
College Park, District 4, under the administration of Linda North, will convert their program from AABC to Little League for 2012. Welcome College Park Little League!
State Officials are meeting with additional programs in the coming weeks to discuss the benefits and opportunities available to chartered Little Leagues. If you are interested in having an official contact you about Little League, please email Linda North, State Secretary.
Georgia Little League welcomes these 3 new programs and looks forward to working with them in the coming years. |
 Little League International Cites Growth in Georgia
Nearly 10 million people live in the state of Georgia, and during the spring and summer of 2010, nearly 28,000 children played Little League. Charged with taking the program to areas of the state where there is no Little League, and broaden the opportunities for all of their existing leagues, each of Georgia’s 10 volunteer District Administrators are crisscrossing the state in support of a coordinated, collaborative information and recruitment campaign.

Little League Announces Continuation of 50/70 for 2012
Little League will offer the 50/70 pilot program again in 2012. "By all accounts, the program has progressed,” Patrick Wilson, Senior Vice President of Operations and Program Development at Little League International, said. "Survey results again showed that many local leagues have embraced the concept of a division of play that provides a bridge between the standard Little League Baseball field and a conventional baseball field. Our goal is to evaluate the viability of offering the 50-70 Baseball Division to all leagues worldwide, as early as 2013,” Mr. Wilson said. "This would consist of full integration into the International Tournament, to include a World Series.”
