Morrison Youth Baseball, Softball Consolidate for 2014 Season

More Important News Morrison Youth Baseball, Softball Consolidate for 2014 Season

At its January meeting, the Morrison Little League board voted to consolidate the various baseball and softball programs in Morrison with the goals of increasing participation, lowering costs, and facilitating administration. The new umbrella organization is called Morrison Youth Baseball & Softball.

The participating programs include: boys baseball B-league (ages 7-8); boys A-league (ages 9-10); boys Majors (ages 11-12); boys Ponies (ages 13-14); girls softball Minors (ages 7-9); and girls Majors (ages 10- 12). Boys B-league will continue to play other Morrison teams at the sports complex.

The older boys and girls teams will participate in the Prophetstown baseball and softball league. These teams will play home and away games against other local teams from Prophetstown, Fulton, Albany, Erie, and Port Byron. With declining participation and fewer Morrison teams over the years, this will give these teams an opportunity to face different competition over the season.

The group will offer online registration and access to schedules through the Morrison Quickscores page (www.quickscores.com/morrisonsports). In addition, we will continue to offer opt-in text messages for news and scheduling information through our new website http://www.morrisonyouthball.com. Registration and tryout information will be available in March. Opening Day is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2014 at the sports complex (May 10 rain day).

The board welcomes your comments or questions, so please contact any member if you would like to discuss this exciting new direction.
