Convenor Needed for 2023 OLLB Girls Division

Sticky
Orleans Little League is looking for a volunteer to help run our Girl’s division.  The convenor plays an important part in ensuring that we are able to properly run this program.  Unfortunately without a convenor, there is the risk that this successful program will not be able to be offered this year.  
 
CONVENOR – Girls Division
 
Reporting to the Vice-President – Baseball Operations, the convenor of the Girls Division will be responsible for ensuring the proper running of the Orleans Little League Girls program.  This is a new program established in 2022 which is offered to players that identify as girls, in the hopes of developing skills and making friends in an environment of inclusivity.  Teams in the Girls program play against other teams of similar ages and skill levels from across the city. 
 
For further information about the full list of duties please contact the Vice-President – Baseball Operation by email at [email protected]com

2023 OLLB Umpire Clinic

When: Sunday April 30th

Time: 1:00pm-5:00pm

Where: Roy G. Hobbs Community Centre, 109 Larch Crescent

Details:
 
OLLB covers the cost of the clinic.
 
Attendees need to bring a pad and pen as well as outdoor cloths as part of the clinic will take place on the diamond.  
 
OLLB will provide new umpires with an umpire hat, rule book, umpire shirt and an umpire patch to be sewn on that shirt.  
 
New umpires will be responsible to purchase grey dress pants (not track pants) available at places like Walmart or Giant Tiger.  One other purchase required is that of an umpire kit (consisting of a ball and strike indicator (also called a clicker), a plate brush and a ball bag) available at most sporting goods stores for around $20.
 
No need to purchase shin pads, an umpire ‘pillow’ or mask as they will be available at each diamond.  I suggest the umpire bring some disinfectant spray and a rag to wipe the mask before and after use.
 
Any question or concerns, feel free to contact Paul at [email protected]
 
Please confirm attendance by emailing the above email address.

Gordon Crookston

It is with heavy hearts that Orléans Little League has learned of the passing of its past president, Gordon Crookston. He passed away on January 11th, 2023 in Toronto.
 
He is survived by his wife Rose and two sons Jonathan and Jeremy.
 
Gordon was the President of Orléans Little League for the better part of three decades. His hard work and dedication to the organization and community were second to none. We will work hard to ensure his legacy continues for many years. 
 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rose and the family. Gordon was a good man. He will be missed.
 
Rest in peace my friend. Until we meet again.
 
Rob Lay
President 
Orléans Little League Baseball Inc.
