A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Spring is just around the corner, and that means…BASEBALL and SOFTBALL!
Baseball and Softball are great games for the entire family and we want everyone to be involved.
Did you know that…?
• State College Little League is an independent organization comprised of volunteers…parents
like you and me. The League is run by a volunteer Board of Directors elected at an annual
public meeting in October, the Board electing its own officers and committee chairmen. We
have an annual budget of well over $150,000, yet we receive no public funding or taxpayer
money of any kind. All of our revenue must come from registration fees, team sponsorship,
fundraising, and donations. (hint, hint).
• Our goal is to provide the boys and girls (ages 5-12) of our community the opportunity to
learn the games of baseball and softball in an enjoyable atmosphere. We stress the
importance of having adult volunteers as managers, coaches, umpires, and team helpers.
Remember, the main purpose of Little League is to foster the interaction of parents and
children in a healthy, recreational environment.
• The Board of Directors is acutely aware of the problems that can emerge from improperly
supervised youth sports. Under no circumstance will we tolerate unsportsmanlike or abusive
behavior on the part of parents, players, or coaches.
• The Board of Directors selects a Managers’ Committee whose function is to review the
performance of managers and coaches, address concerns/complaints, and select managers at
the Minor and Major levels for the upcoming season. The Player Agent and respective area
coordinators select managers at all other levels of play. It is important that parents express
their concerns or complaints to the Board. We welcome your input.
If you have any questions or concerns, please write to or call any member of the State
College Little League Board of Directors. Board members’ email addresses are listed on our
website; www.statecollegelittleleague.org.
Thank you,
Greg Korn, President
