Players

For the first time ever, NVLL has three teams in the State Tournaments! The 12-yr old National, Junior and Senior League All-Stars all won the District 1 and Section 1 Championships and are headed to State.

2002 All-Star results.

What makes Niceville-Valparaiso Little League a success? to find out.

If you purchase your own batting helmet, DO NOT have it painted or put stickers on the outside! This voids the warranty, which makes it unusable for Little League games and practices.

If you missed the Parents Meeting on Jan 15, you can view the presentation by clicking here.

Due to the unfortunate incident at the Little League World Series last year, Little League has tightened its proof of player eligibility requirements. The immediate impact on NVLL is All-Stars will be required to produce ORIGINAL birth certificates, that will travel with the team. If you think you might be playing on an All-Star team, you should consider obtaining an extra birth certificate at this time. For more information, read Little League Baseball's proof of age and residency requirements.

The manager must also have a current medical release form.

Team Moms

The concession schedules during the tournament are as follows:

Majors: Early game does late. Late game does early. (9am/11am games on May 18 are considered early/late respectively).

Minor A: Each team to provide one worker whenever your manager is umpiring. Managers, please keep your team moms informed when this will be.

Minor B & C: Each team to provide one worker whenever your manager is umpiring. Managers, please keep your team moms informed when this will be. For May 18, the 9am & 11am workers are not required because Tee-Ball will still be covering it. 1pm workers are required. On a few nights, we may have too many workers at Twin Oaks. The Park Ranger will use his/her discretion to send someone home.

There was a Team Mom Meeting on Tues, Feb 19, 6:30 at the Holiday Inn Express. If your team was not represented, contact Renee Hill immediately!
