If your child is younger than 6 as of December 31, 2012 she will be playing at the T-ball level with the boys. There will not be a try out at this level. Your child will be assigned to a team.

If your child is between the ages of 6-8 as of December 31, 2012 she will be playing at the Farm level.  There will not be a try out at this level. The players are placed on a team at this level. Once we have established coaches they will be in contact with you. Likely in a couple of weeks.

At this time we would like to ask anyone who is interested in coaching or managing a team to contact me Gary Lord, SLL Softball Player Agent.  Gary may be reached at gnrlord@comcast.net. These volunteer positions are essential and rewarding.  None are so overwhelming that a person can't step right in and take over.  Please consider "stepping up to the plate" for softball this year---we do need you. Thank you - SLL.

FUNDRAISER:  Sunday (March 24th) at UNO's in Vinnin Square.  Help support Swampscott Little League by enjoying UNO's on Sunday.  SLL will receive 20% of your meal check to help fund safety netting at the Forest Avenue fields, and other capital improvements.  Additionally, these funds ensure any child can participate in Little League regardless of financial situation.
