GIRLS softball sign ups on tap

March 11, 2012

Apparently, too many parents are not recognizing that Little League isn't just a boy's game ... and they seem to question when their talented young daughters want to sign up. The girls are saying enough is enough! From 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, March 15, the GIRLS Little League Softball teams are going to be signing up at the Bonners Ferry Visitor's Center, and BOYS aren't invited! "We have had small turn-outs for the last couple of sign in periods that it was just for boys," said Little League vice president Sabrina Winey. "We want to get the word out ... this is for GIRLS!" To register, girls will need a copy of their original birth certificate, a signed medical release form from a parent or guardian and proof of residency. Age categories are Minors, ages 8 to 11, Majors, ages 11-12, and Juniors, ages 13-14. Girls must have reached league age as of January 1. Cost is $45 for minors and majors, $50 for juniors. Registration forms are available on the BCCL website in the "handouts" section. If you can't make it in to register, forms, fees and required documentation can be mailed to BCLL, 1201 Paradise Valley Road, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805. To find out more, call Sabrina at (208) 610-1745, or Anne Tompkins, (208) 267-2599.
