	ANOTHER OPENING DAY PARADE SUCCESS!!!

Wally the Green Monster and his adoring fans!!

With weather cooperating, albeit a little cool, Westwood Little League kicked off the 2012 Spring Season in style with our annual opening day parade.

After welcoming everyone to the new season, it was my pleasure to introduce Westwood resident and music artist Chris Trapper who performed brilliantly. Special guest - New Westwood HS Athletic Director Matt Gillis - tossed out the first pitch. Coach Gillis and his state championship Golf Team were also recognized for their fantastic achievement this season.

We were honored to receive a major donation from Roche Bros. to our "Revitalize Morrison" campaign.

The day was a huge success in no small part to the contributions of Event Director Michelle Berluti and the many other volunteers who helped in so many ways. Thank you all.

The Westwood Patch has some great coverage and a video that can be found here.

	WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATION POLICY

by posted 05/14/2012

When there is any question as to whether or not a game is going to be played due to weather, your coach will be the primary point of contact regarding game status.

We have a very dedicated fields coordinator, division coordinators, and coaches who work hard to make fields playable whenever possible without putting player safety at risk.

Please do not refer to the town field status website.

Game status decisions will be made by 4:00p.

If you do not hear of a cancellation by 4:00p - assume the decision will be made at game time at the field.

Please do not call your head coach prior to 4:00p. Keep in mind that they are all volunteers who have day jobs!

Thank you!

Vision for Morrison

Letter to the Editor: Westwood Little League Thanks Sponsors, Exhibitors and Volunteers

To the editor,

Spring may be several weeks away, but Westwood came together on January 29th to celebrate the game of baseball at the Westwood Little League's First Annual Hot Stove Event.

It was a huge success made possible by the sponsors, volunteers and the Westwood High School Varsity Baseball Players and Coach Brian Whelan. WLL truly appreciates the able assistance of the Westwood High School Cafe West staff and custodians.

Our sponsors included Athletic Republic, Monkey Sports and Roche Brothers. Many thanks to Hill Homes Market and Table Talk Pies for their donations of juice and pie.

Exhibitors enhanced the event by sharing information about their specialties. Exhibitors included several Westwood residents: Cartoonist, Eddie Germano, Sports Memorabilia Aficionado, Charlie Orcutt, and Static, a local rock band.

Also attending were New England Sports Photography and baseball training representatives: Baseball Consultants, Sluggers Academy and Sweet Swings Academy.

Hats off to the WLL Hot Stove Committee chaired by Michelle Berluti; members included Maureen Clancy, Meg Harrington, Beth Kendall, Laura Reilly, Rachel Vande Rydt, Kathy Wallace, Amy Warshay and Pam Welch.

We had a fantastic turnout and everybody who attended had a great time. I am looking forward to a great baseball season in 2012!

Registration for the spring season concluded on January 31 but is available on a late basis until February 14. Please visit westwoodlittleleague.com to register online. The site also contains information about a great deal on winter clinics now underway. Also click on the "Revitalize Morrison" tab at the top to learn of the exciting plans to redevelop Morrison Park.

See you at the field.

Sincerely,

John Loughnane

President

	New Bat Rules for 2012

by posted 12/04/2011

Here is the basic information you should know:

For the Little League Major Baseball Division and below: The bat shall not be more than thirty-three (33) inches in length nor more than two and one-quarter (2¼) inches in diameter. Non-wood bats shall be labeled with a BPF (bat performance factor) of 1.15 or less;

EXCEPTION: For the 2011-2012 Little League (Majors) and below, composite bats are prohibited unless approved by Little League International. Specifically, some composite-barreled baseball bats that have been proven in laboratory testing to meet the BPF (Bat Performance Factor) standard throughout the life of the bat, through the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) process, have received waivers. That list of approved bats is here: Licensed/Approved Composite 2 1/4 Bats.

Little League International publishes a list of licensed bats, all of which have a barrel diameter of 2 1/4 inches. This is not a list of all bats that can be used --- a bat need not bear the Little League trademark to be legal. The list of licensed 2 1/4 bats can be downloaded as a PDF here: All Licensed 2 1/4 Bats.

In addition, Westwood Little League prohibits any bat with a drop greater than -11.

	Cold Stone "Shot of the Game" and Home Run Derby

by posted 04/12/2011

Cold Stone Creamery has once again generously agreed to sponsor the "Cold Stone Shot of the Game" promotion, as well as the 4th Annual Cold Stone Home Run Derby to be held at Morrison Field this coming June.

Any WLL player that hits one out of Morrison this year wins a free ice cream at Cold Stone, and is automatically entered into the Home Run Derby, where we will crown the 2012 Home Run Derby Champion.

The Cold Stone Shot of the Game and the Home Run Derby have added lots of excitement to the Westwood Little League season at Morrison, and we are looking forward to another record-breaking year of dingers and home run trots!

The 2012 Cold Stone Shot of the Game Honor Roll will appear on the website all season long, so check in frequently to see who's been putting on the light show down at Morrison!
