This week we kick off the season for AA, AAA, Majors, and Intermediate (50/70). Seniors and Juniors divisions have been rolling for two weeks now. Our T-ball and Little Sluggers will kick off later this month. I wanted to take this time to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. It’s an honor to serve as your president, and I am committed to making this year memorable for our entire community.![]()

I am excited for the great games ahead and some of the exciting events that our board has planned for the league this year. With that in mind I need to remind you of two very important things. First, we are an all-volunteer league. Please be sure to thank those that have and continue to put in countless hours to make all of this happen.![]()
![]()
Lastly, we have a ZERO tolerance for inappropriate behavior toward umpires. We have a lot of young umpires who are excited about the game but are just learning. We need to support them and keep their love of the game going even if you don't agree with a call they make. Regular season should be fun for everyone. Everyone who registered agreed to a Code of Conduct when they signed up. As a league we have done a tremendous job of setting and holding a positive standard. Let’s see that it continues.![]()

I look forward to seeing you all around the parks in the upcoming months.![]()

FYI for everyone, we're keeping an eye on the weather today and will try to make a call on games by 2-3 o'clock
We're looking for some Little League umpires for this up coming week. We have a pretty full schedule for the next couple weeks and are finding ourselves short. Do you or someone you know have umpire experience? If so, please message president@altoonabaseball.org
The south (baseball) parking lot at Sam Wise is open again! Only the west driveway is open, and please be mindful of the ongoing construction in the area.Traffic on 8th St SE has now been switched to travel along the newly completed roadway, so construction can continue on the other portion of this roadway.![]()
