Dear Parents and Families,
As the 2010 Spring Season officially comes to a close, I would like to take a moment to congratulate all the kids and families for an outstanding season. This spring our boys and girls developed their skills and grew as athletes, but most importantly, they had fun. They got the opportunity to play ball, hit the big shot, make the big catch and be part of a team. The focus of our program is not on winning games but rather on promoting sportsmanship and a love for the game itself. I am certain we were successful in meeting our goals.
This Season offered us the opportunity to play on greatly improved fields which added to the overall enjoyment of the game- for players, coaches and spectators alike. We also benefitted tremendously from having an active, involved community that stepped up to the plate to volunteer and do whatever was needed- often without even being asked. This kind of community support is invaluable and is part of what makes our program so special.
The Spring Season ended on an historic high note as Ardsley entered four (4) teams into the Little League District Tournaments, with unprecedented success. The Tournament highlights include the 9-10 Year Old Girls Team making it to the District Championship Game, and the 11-12 Year Old Boys Team winning the District Championship, and reaching the Sectional Round. It is believed to be the first District Championship for the Ardsley Little League. Congratulations to all Tournament players, coaches and parents on their success.
Though the 2010 Spring Season is over, summer ball is in full swing. Please also remember that we have many wonderful opportunities to offer kids in the fall as well. If you are interested in registering for any of our fall programs, please follow the “Documents/Form” link on our website to download the form.
See you at the ball park,
Chris McNern
Dear Parents and Families,
As the 2012 Spring season quickly approaches, I want to thank each and everyone who registered their children BEFORE our cutoff date of JANUARY 30, 2012. While on-line registration for Baseball and Softball is closed, please note that registration for Challenger Spring Season is still open. Baseball and Softball registration requests can still be sent to the Ardsley Little League Player Agent for consideration, but a late fee will apply. No registrations will be considered after March 4, 2012.
The 2011 season was a great success, much the result of tireless work put in by each member of our Little League Board and countless volunteers. I want to thank you all, as well as our generous sponsors past and present, who have helped and continue to shape the consciousness of our league. Ardsley Little League appreciates your commitment, kindness and generosity.
Ardsley Little League is approaching it's 57th year and continues to thrive with our collective deep belief in community and teamwork. We all share the same goals in preparing our children for the challenges and victories of life. It is through efforts like these that Ardsley Little League will continue to grow and maintain it's reputation as one of the finest Little League programs in the area.
2011 and 2012 are marked by significant improvements to all fields through new dugouts, benches, bleachers and infields. This is a testament to our ongoing commitment in providing the highest level of safety features to your children. Improvements will continue into 2012 on Field 3 (a brand new infield to mirror what has already been done to fields 1, 2 & 4), new safety netting, batting cages and other such improvements throughout McDowell Park.
To Ardsley’s Challenger division, all baseball & softball players, parents, coaches and volunteers, we look forward to seeing you for our upcoming spring season!
Best Regards,
Patrick Resk, President Ardsley Little League
