Next the fence posts go in.

The recreation commission authorized the clay and the RBDPW moved it for us. We got some more help from John McNally and Pat McDonald moving clay the following week.

We will finish moving the clay this week. The fence will go in on Friday. Then we will install the netting. We should be using it next week.

Rockaway Borough has a field status hot line. This is run by the Rockaway Borough Recreation Commission. 973-586-3993

On Saturday, June 16, 2012 Rockaway Boro Little League (RBLL) will be hosting the Morris County Challenger League. The Challenger League is a baseball league for disabled children. It was established in 1986, by Williamsport Little League. Bergen and Union counties in New Jersey had instituted their Challenger League programs since 1989. The Morris County Challenger Little League was established in 1999. The dedicated volunteers create a positive environment for the children who are in need of this program. The majority of the participants are from Morris County, and a few from the neighboring counties.

We need 40 RBLL players to volunteer to come on the field and partner up with a Challenger League player and be their “buddies” for the game. The role of buddies is to help facilitate the game of baseball in a fun, interactive, and helpful way. Go to the Challenger Tab and Registration Tab for more information.

Use our new RB Fields Tab to see field availability. Then use the contact tool on that page to request a field.

If you are using Heady, SMith or TJ, please make sure the bathrooms are
locked when you leave. They were left open 2 days at Smith and Heady
bathroom was all clogged up.

In the past, we have found the best way to control the bathroom is to give
the key to someone who needs it, iike at a service station.

Particularly at heady, it seems the kids like to play in there and reek
havoc.

Thanks
Recreation Director-Carol Johnson

According to our Inter-League Structure 2012 (can be found on our Rules Tab under softball) minors is listed as 9-10 and majors 11-12. According to the Little League Softball Rules minor age is “any player who will attain the age of 7 years before January 1 and who will not attain the age of 13 before January 1…” But this is “subject to the Local League Board of Directors alignment of this division”. It would seem the alignment of this league is minors is ages 9-10. We received a complaint that the team our minor softball team played tonight was made up of girls ages 11-12. It sure looked that way.
