2008 DLL News
DLL Picture Day is scheduled for Sat, Apr 19 at Mill Run Elementary School. Team pictures will be taken indoors rain or shine, and players will have the opportunity to have individual photos taken as well. Contact your team's manager or your team's DLL Picture Day Coordinator for your team's reporting time, and for more information. Players should report to Mill Run Elementary School at your team's designated reporting time in full uniform and sneakers. No bats or gloves are needed for the pictures. Manager's or their designated DLL Picture Day Coordinators are asked to pickup their Picture Day packets/forms for their entire team at the Crittenden concession stand Monday through Friday this week whenever the concession stand is open. The concession stand is typically open on weekdays from 5:30pm until the end of the last game. Individuals should NOT visit Crittenden looking for picture forms unless they are picking up the Picture Day package for the entire team.

DLL's Umpire Certification Training will be held on Saturday March 29 from 10am - 1pm at Parsells Field. For the 2008 Spring season, you must be certified in order to be scheduled to cover Majors and AAA games. Non-certified umpires may be used for AA and single A. In addition, certified umpires that are eligible for payment receive $10 more per game than non-certified umpires. Finally, certified umpires are eligible to umpire DLL post-season tournaments and may be offered the opportunity to umpire District 16 All Star games. Please mark your calendars for the 2008 DLL Umpire Training/Certification Classes. Due to space limitations, you will need to register for both of the following clinics. You can register by sending an email to dlluic@dulleslittleleague.org. There is no charge to attend either of the clinics. Basic Training - 3 Dates Thu, February 7 from 7:00-8:30pm at the Woods Recreation Center, 44020 Louisa Drive, Ashburn, VA DLL will host a Basic Training umpire clinic. This program will cover a wide variety of issues including rules, technique and positioning. This program is mandatory for all junior (age 16 and below) and first time umpires who wish to become certified (see below). Veteran adult umpires are welcome and encouraged to attend as well. This course will be a terrific primer for anyone that is planning to take the full certification course. At this clinic, you will receive an umpire training manual and a 2008 Little League rule book. The DLL UIC will also be available to answer any questions about the upcoming season, scheduling, uniforms, equipment, rules, etc.
Tryouts for the 2008 Spring season are scheduled for January 19, 26, 29, and 31 for select age groups. The complete, detailed tryout schedule is available from the Registration web page, or by clicking here. A DLL "Tryout Survival Guide" is also available. Players are assigned a tryout date and time based on their Playing Age (age as of April 30, 2008) and the first few letters of their last name. Be sure to check the tryout schedule to determine your player's tryout date and time. If your player is unable to report at their designated time, be sure that they report for another time with players of their same Playing Age.
DLL's Umpire Certification Training will be held on Saturday March 29 from 10am - 1pm at Parsells Field. Visit the Umpires web page for more information.
Player notifications for players in all divisions should now be nearly complete.

The 2008 Spring DLL schedule has now been finalized and posted. Visit the Schedule web page to access the schedule.

Little League International recently approved a new regulation requiring that all Playing Age 12-year-olds (player's age as of April 30, 2008) must be placed onto a Major Division team. Any exception requests will require a special waiver. Click here for more information about this new Little League regulation.
The online waitlist for the 2008 Spring season remains open. Visit the Registration web page for all the details. Manager applicants are still needed at most of the lower divisions (e.g., T-Ball, Instructional Rookie and Rookie). You can sign-up as a team manager applicant when you register your player. Preference may be given to those who volunteer to manage a team.
