Description:
Both the Burr Ridge Willowbrook Little League and the Burr Ridge Park District are committed to creating and maintaining as safe of an environment as possible for the 2021 season for all players, fans, coaches and umpires. Every family associated with our program will play a significant role in our ability to both begin and finish our season in 2021 during a global pandemic and we thank everyone in advance for their cooperation and compliance with the League's COVID-19 plan.
For players born 9/1/13 - 8/31/14 Schedule: Play begins in April 2021 and approximately 12 games are scheduled for each team. Practice: Teams will have practice as scheduled by the Head Coach Game Play: Players hit a safety ball pitched by their Coach; Coaches also "back up" the catcher. Players are pitched to until they hit the ball fair, though an adjustable tee will be brought in when there has been a number of swings without contact. No walks or strikeouts are recorded. No score is kept. Traditionally, outs are not recorded but players forced or tagged out leave the playing field. Once a team bats through their order, the half inning is over. Base runners typically do not advance on overthrows. Basic game rules are taught and players are rotated among the different fielding positions. Emphasis is on basic game play. Coaches are encouraged to have practices in addition to games. *** NOTE: Little League bat standards will require all BRWBLL leagues to use certified bats bearing the "USA Bat Licensing Mark" ***
Travel players from 2020 can get an additional $25 discount by contacting the Little League Board for approval. They will then contact the park district for a $25 refund.
