Dear Lakewood Little League Families:

We are nearing the end of the regular season. What’s up next? Closing ceremonies and tournament season!

TOURNAMENTS: For Farm, Minor B, Minor A, Majors, and Juniors - please make sure to check in with your manager to see if your team is going to TOC or All-District tournament. You may need to provide materials to show that your player lives or goes to school within the Lakewood Little League boundaries to participate.

PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT: We would like to remind everyone that each player’s parent or guardian signed the Little League Parent Code of Conduct during registration. The code outlines how parents can best support our players. Any parent guilty of improper conduct at any game or practice will be asked to leave the sports facility and be suspended from the following game. Repeat violations may cause a multiple game suspension, or the season forfeiture of the privilege of attending all games. For more information, please visit https://www.littleleague.org/downloads/parent-code-conduct/

CSULB DIRTBAGS GAME – May 23: We will travel as a league to the CSULB Dirtbags game on Thursday, May 23 at 6pm. Join your friends and fellow players for a fun night out. You can purchase tickets for $7 each at www.longbeachstate.com/lll Our league will receive $2 per ticket sold.

CLOSING CEREMONIES – JUNE7: Our closing ceremonies will be held on Friday, June 7 at 6:30 pm on the Middle Field at Rynerson Park. Please have your player arrive at 6:15 pm in full uniform.

FIREWORKS STAND: Last year, our league was awarded a Lakewood fireworks stand near Black Angus at the Lakewood Mall. The firework sales helped secure the funding to rebuild the dugouts on the Middle Field. We are looking for volunteers to serve on the committee to help organize and staff the booth from the last week of June through July 5, 2019. We want to do even better with sales this year! Please email Erich at erichforlll@gmail.comif you are interested in serving on the Fireworks committee.

Thank you,
