2009 AA Baseball Leagues |
Want to play a higher level of baseball, we have the league for you. Changes we have made because you asked, improved fields, more games, tournament, good competition. Games will begin April 13, 2009 and run through then end of June. Free tournament entry to a mid-season tournament,May 8-10, 2009, and discounted entry fees to 2 other DCC Sponsored Tournaments Games will be played at Antimi/Oakland Fields (9u/10u), American Legion (11u/12u), and the newly built Atkins Fields (13u/14u). The Antimi and Legion Fields are in the process of being re-worked so that water flow will allow more games to be played even with the rain. They have dirt infields so you will get a much truer hop on ground balls. If you are familiar with the Antimi complex it has 6 fields, a brand new concession stand, shade structures for fans and no restrictions on food or drinks carried into the park. |
