phrsmall

The North Miami Beach Optimist Little League, in conjunction with the City of North Miami Beach, is proud to be hosting a free Pepsi Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Competition on Saturday and Sunday, March 18 and 19 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Allen Field, on NE 17th Avenue and 162nd Street.

Competitors are divided into four age dvisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14. The the date this national contest uses to determine age is July 17, 2006--not the April 30 date we use in LL. (Note that this means that most of our Rookie League players will not be eligible, but there may be a few who are---6 year olds who turn 7 between April 30 and July 17. It may also eliminate a few of our Juniors players--those who turn 15 after April 30 but before July 17.)

Competitors will have the chance to advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championships at Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the 2006 MLB All-Star Game.

The individual Pitching, Hitting, and Running Champions, along with the All-Around Champion in each age group at our NMB Local Competitions will be awarded and advance to the Sectional level of competition.

All participants must fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of competiton. For questions concerning the competition, check the FAQ on our website or contact Jim Allen.

Little League Coaching Clinic coming to NMB!

Posted by Jim Allen at Jan 7, 2006 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
The official trainers for Little League International are coming to North Miami Beach!

Al & Al, whose training materials have been the official Little League coaching training material for years, will be training our managers and coaches on Sunday, January 22, 2006, at the North Miami Beach Senior High School Gymnasium.

There will be two sessions one from 8:00am - 12:15,  for managers of kids 9-12.  (NEW: Al & Al have added an extra session from 12:15 to 1:15 for Juniors and tournament managers and coaches.) The second session will be from 1:45 (note the new start time, previously 12:30) to 4:30 p m for managers of kids 5-8.  This is a mangers and coaches only clinic--no kids allowed.

As the clinic is participatory, please wear tennis shoes (please no black soled shoes) and bring your glove.  This is a great opportunity for Mangers to learn new drills, and gain valuable knowledge about managing your  little league baseball team.  Al & Al are nationally known for their inovative and fun skill sessions.  image
