Greetings from the Richmond Hill Little League.

As you know we are set and ready to embark on the 2010 season.

In light of the new season, Little League Baseball Board would like to keep the parents

informed to what changes have been made to make this season better than last year.

The 2009 season was very special.

It was a launching pad for the young men and women who would like to chase a

dream of becoming Little League World Series Champs.

Not to mention the LIFE LONG experience that came along with it.

The 2009 RHLL Team, in its 1st Year, won their way into

the State Playoffs in Taccoa by winning District 9 championship.

What that team saw was second to none and it created a buzz within the parents and coaches

for Richmond Hill to think out of the box and become visionaries for the Richmond Hill

Little League Program.

For us to accomplish this the Little League Baseball Board of Directors was created and has

been meeting for months in preparation for this season

This letter is to inform you on the necessary changes that had to be made to bring this

program up to the level of Little League Standards. It is our goal to bring all of

the players back to Little League and keep parents informed of what type of program it will be.

We are committed to Excellence and Leadership.

It is also our goal to compete on the highest level possible to make this district

competitive with the great humility and integrity.

We want to see Richmond Hill Little League make that next step into the future.

We are excited about this year, so please if you have questions please

contact the RHLL Board of Directors through the Recreation Department.
