Cal Padres

To all MLL softball parents, players and fans: Manhattan Little League's Softball Division is continuing its tradition of fielding great Little League all star teams in 2005. This year we have three teams that have advanced to the Little League Section 3 All Star Tournament. MLL's 9 & 10 Year Old team (Minor League All Stars), 11 & 12 Year Old team (Major League All Stars) and the 13 & 14 Year Old team (Junior League) have all advanced and will be playing in highly competitive tournaments in our area over the course of the next two weeks commencing on Friday, July 15. Please come out and support our Softball All Stars and have an enjoyable evening or afternoon with your kids watching an exciting sport involving their friends and neighbors. And please forward this message to other softball parents and fans so everyone knows about this unique opportunity to see exciting softball action in our area. All of the all star tournament information will be posted and updated on MLL's website, mbll.org. At this site you will find all of the tournament pairings with the times, dates and locations for each game.
