Parental support

Parental support is essential toward maintaining the quality and success of our programs. By way of volunteer time, the CiLL is able to keep fees and other ancillary costs at a minimum and competitive with surrounding area programs while providing the best quality program for your children.
Parent volunteers to manage teams are the greatest need. A team manager or team co-managers is necessary for all teams to form within a league. The CiLL cannot have a spring little league that does not have enough parental support through team managers.

Game schedules will not be out approximately April 9^th. Most teams will play about 12 games a season. Everything always subject to change due to weather, field conditions or unforeseen circumstances. We play inter-league schedules with other towns, and we cannot control changes.
Registration includes FULL UNIFORM - Uniforms will be in about the second of April right before the season starts. The sizes you pick you will have to go with as we will not have extra or we can order a new one which you will have to pay for.
Volunteers of all languages needed. Parents, unless you are a signed-up volunteer please do not go in the dugouts, concession stand, equipment areas etc. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the following form and hand to League President Joe Hennie, Vice President Coach David Morales or Safety Officer Megan Grabowski. Your Coach will direct you to them. Background checks are MANDATORY EVERY YEAR. https://www.littleleague.org/downloads/volunteer-application/ Do not put in SS# on paper. We will do that when entering on computer.

Mandatory training course (EVERY YEAR):
