The Mission of Little League
• Little League Baseball, Incorporated is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "to
promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily
assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those
who will participate in Little League Baseball
and Softball."
• Through proper guidance and exemplary
leadership, the Little League program assists
youth in developing the qualities of
citizenship, discipline, teamwork and
physical well-being. By espousing the virtues
of character, courage and loyalty, the Little
League Baseball and Softball program is
designed to develop superior citizens rather
than superior athletes.
League Overview
District 9 - OH
• Mason Youth Organization affiliated with Little League in
2009
• Each year we are making changes to align more and
more to a traditional LL organization – Majors, Minors,
Draft etc
• We are part of District 9 which is comprised of Anderson
Twp, Warren County, Loveland, West Side Hamilton,
Fairfield, West Chester, Butlerville, Lebanon,
Middletown, Miami (Oxford) and Little Miami

and SR ball

Team Names and Uniforms
• Major league team names are available, either
American or National (NO YANKEES )

MLB hat
• Uniforms to be available 1st week of April. You or
a team designate must pick-up uniforms when
ready at Scott’s Awards, ensure proper size for
each player
• MYO will pay for Names and Numbers on Jerseys
– only if you use Scott’s Awards.
Sponsors
• Sponsors are critical to supporting MYO and
offsetting costs. Please be sure to thank the
team sponsor
• If you or a parent sponsored a player on team,
the sponsor logo will be printed on sleeve of
jersey
• We will also distribute sponsor advertising
slicks, brochures etc with the uniforms. Please
help us distribute to all of the parents
Rule Books
• There are two rule books that will be in play for the
season - the 2011 MYO Rules Amendment and the
2011 LL Official Rule book
• Why two? To allow for deviation from LL rules within
the guidelines of our league and league charter. For
example, LL does not allow any adult to warm-up a
pitcher either on the field or in the “bull pen”. Our
league rules allow adults to warm-up pitchers
• Each team will receive one copy of each rule book. If
you would like an additional LL rule book, please
contact Kevin Carey ($5.00 / book)
