                          Exciting Changes for the Colt Division from the 2009 Colt Director Carey Rakich

The 3B Board has approved some exciting new changes for the Colt Division. We are expecting these changes to re-energize the division,
and to expand the number of teams and players.

Here is a summary of the changes planned:
- Increasing the number of sponsored players to 8
- Regular Night games
- Elimination of Saturday games
- Formation of U13 and U14 Tournament teams
- Scheduling of non-league games with other leagues in the area
- Potential increase in the number of games to 22

The 3B Board recognizes that the Colt Division is a transition period in a baseball player's career.  The Colt Division players are all Junior High aged players,
many of whom are interesting in playing for their High School baseball team.  We recognize that the next summer league is Knothole, where teams are formed
by the coaches and full baseball rules are in effect.  We are making these changes to ease this transition, and to provide the best opportunity for our players to
be prepared for High School baseball.  

We are planning for the Colt Division to play on Monday night, Wednesday evening, Friday night, and Sunday evening.
Each team will play 3 games per week.  We are eliminating the games on Saturday for several reasons.  First of all, it allows our Tournament teams to play in
weekend tournaments during the season. Secondly, it allows families to plan for weekend vacations and getaways without having to miss any league games.
We have received many comments regarding the Saturday games, and are making these changes in order to address your concerns.

We are starting to prepare
for the season right now. I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to email me at any time.

Thank you.
