Registration is Still Open & Sponsorship
Opportunities Available until March 31st
Troy, NY (3/8/12) With Spring in the air, the Troy Central
Little League is pleased to announce its 2012 Open Day will be on April
28th. Opening day ceremonies will take place at Frank Welch Memorial
Field located at 3130 Seventh Avenue (intersection of Swift Street & Seventh). In the
meantime, registration is still open, and sponsorship opportunities are
available until March 31st for parents to register their children.
“We have been serving the community since 1958, and are one
of the few remaining chartered Little Leagues in the City of Troy,” said new
league president Peggy Kownack. “We have been able to keep registration fees
the same as they were in the 1970s.” Troy Central Little League charges $25 per child ($15 for
each additional child in a family) as a way of keeping little league baseball
affordable to the families it serves. The mission of the newly installed Board
of Directors is to ensure that all children ages 4-12 have the opportunity to
play America's past-time. 92% of the children within league area qualify for the Federal/Reduced Lunch Program, many from single family homes. This year, approximately 60 children will compete in the Troy Central Little League. Little League, itself, is the world’s largest youth sports program with more than 2.8 million children and 1 million volunteers in more than 100 countries.
“In order for those bats to start cracking, we need to order
uniforms, equipment and get new bleachers,” said Kownack. “It is vital that we
get the help of local businesses and individuals to chip in, and become a
sponsor.”
