Hello Dominion League families,
I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and enjoying the
unseasonably warm weather!! But I know what a lot of you are thinking…
I’m finally done shopping and today is officially halfway to spring
training!! When does baseball start again??
For Little League, registration is OPEN NOW!!! You can register at

Spring Evaluations
Evaluations aren't that far away: Fairfax Little League player
evaluations will be held at Fairfax High School on Sunday February 19,
2012 for AA-Majors and Sunday February 26, 2012 for Juniors and
higher. Those players desiring to play T-Ball (first or second season
6 and under) or Single A (6-7) need not attend; but, all players
league age 7 (as of 4/30/12) and above who are considering playing AA
or higher must attend unless you were already on a major’s roster in
spring 2011.
If you are not sure what level your 7- or 8-year old child should play
(A or AA), we strongly recommend bringing them to tryouts to get
evaluated by the coaches. You can also contact Steve Davison (Dominion
League Player Agent,
scda...@cox.net) for more information.
Please plan for at least one parent per household to attend a Little
League workshop on February 19 that focuses on teaching life lessons
through youth sports.
We are all volunteers!!
Fairfax Little League can only succeed with the help of volunteers!
The League has no paid staff and depends upon countless volunteers for
everything from managing and coaching to umpiring to concessions,
field maintenance, fund raising, etc. You can volunteer to help by
contacting Cheryl Wagner at
cheryl.be...@gmail.com.
1) A/T-Ball Commissioner Needed
Ever wonder how to get involved in setting the tone to love the game
among our youngest players? Fairfax Dominion League is looking for an
A/T-ball commissioner to organize our entry-level leagues. This is the
easiest of the Board positions and a great way to get your feet wet
and get involved. Plus, this is the position I held last year so
you’ve got on the job training guaranteed!! If you’re interested in
more information (no commitment required for info), please contact me
at
asle...@verizon.net.
2) Great Managers and Coaches Wanted!
Each team needs a manager and a few coaches. We had a great group
volunteering to teach the great game of baseball last year and are
looking forward to the Spring. If you are interested in managing or
coaching a team, please click on the link below to complete the
nomination form and send it to me.

3) Umpires
Well-trained and interested umpires ensure a great season! The League
pays youth umpires, but relies heavily on volunteers for T-Ball
through Juniors, especially in tournament season. The League provides
equipment and training. Visit our Umpires Page to find out how you can
offer your assistance.

each year. If you are interested (or know of anyone or an organization
who might be) in being a sponsor (team, field, etc)…please contact
