August Newsletter ... Take a look at the August Newsletter for information about Fall Baseball (YES, there will be Fall Ball), Summer Ball, Suisman-Shapiro 16-18 Team, and more …
FALL BASEBALL Fall Ball registration begins TODAY … if you’re so inclined, register no later than the end of the month by mail or join us at one of our live registration sessions noted below. These are fun pick-up style evenings to get the kids loose while mom or dad complete the registration process.
PLAYER ELIGIBILTY
Residence: Players from the towns of East Lyme, Niantic, Lyme, and Old Lyme
Residents of Salem should register with SYBL for Fall Ball play.
Age: 12-15 (born May 1, 1993 through April 30, 1997 – this includes 2009 Little League “graduates”)
FORMAT & SCHEDULE All ages play together during the fall ball season. Players new to Babe Ruth and the big field will find that this format is a great opportunity to become familiar with some of the new rules and to begin to adapt to the new field size. The older, more experienced players not only take on a leadership role but also take advantage of staying loose and keeping their skills in tact in this low-stress environment.
Games will begin Saturday, September 12 and will be scheduled through October 31. Families should expect nearly all games to be scheduled on the weekends at Vets Field, and double-headers are likely.
MAIL-IN REGISTRATION – no later than August 31 Download the ELBR registration form and mail along with payment to:

Suisman Shapiro 16-18 Baseball The East Lyme Babe Ruth 16-18 division of baseball team Suisman Shapiro enjoyed a very successful season. The crew of talented players, led by Jay Berryman, Jerry Windsor and with assistance from Lori McKinney, worked hard to finish first place in the league. Although the playoffs didn’t work out as they’d have chosen, I know the team had a lot of fun and made the most of their summer season. Congratulations to the Team Suisman Shapiro!
What’s ahead for East Lyme Babe Ruth . . .
Next Meeting: Tuesday, September 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Chendali Room of the East Lyme Community Center
Key Agenda Items: Upcoming Elections for Officers* and Fall Ball

The Fall Ball draft will take place immediately upon the conclusion of the meeting.
Upcoming Elections for Officers East Lyme Babe Ruth is in great need of volunteers to fill the following offices:

The election of officers will take place at the October meeting.
