Georgia State Champions! 
 
Big League Baseball is a division of Little League Baseball for players 15 - 18 years old.  In District 4 we have both spring and fall seasons.  Individual players as well as teams may register to play if they live in the following counties:  Butts, Carroll, Clayton, Coweta, Fayette, Fulton, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Lamar, Meriwether, Pike, Spalding, Troup and Upson.             
 
   
Big League Now Available for 15-Year Olds
Little League passed legislation this fall that will allow 15-year olds to play in the Big League Baseball Division.  This applies to both regular season teams and All Star teams.
 
Bat Specifications for Big League
All non-wood bats must meet the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard and have the BBCOR label clearly visible. Non-wood bats must be labeled as either Aluminum or Composite. For a list of Composite Bats approved for use in Big League, click here.   Little League has also created a "mobile-friendly" list of approved bats to access from your smart phone:  http://www.LittleLeague.org/BatList 
 
Special Manager/Coach Training Session Scheduled - January 14
Positive Coaching Alliance will be a part of the Georgia State Leadership Conference on January 14 at Glendalough Manor in Tyrone. The workshop will begin at 1:30 pm and conclude at 3:30 pm.  PCA encourages the Double Goal Coach approach to coaching - where Winning the Game is the first priority and Winning in Life is the second priority.  All prospective managers, coaches, parents and players are encouraged to attend.

District 4 Little League/Big League Looking for Umpires
A Little League Umpire is one of the most important people on the baseball field.  A good umpire is nearly invisible on the field because the game is about the players, not about the umpires.  A good umpire seeks training and studies the rules of the game.  Good umpires are found within the ranks of those who get paid for their job and those who volunteer.
 
District 4 has formed "District 4 League Umpires" - a group, not an association, of individuals who enjoy umpiring and who want to get better through training and experience.  Training will be specific to Little League; Little League rules and procedures will be covered and Little League mechanics will be taught (which can be used to umpire any baseball game).  Umpires will be able to call games at any of the various leagues within the district.
