LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL
The American Legion is sponsoring
four little league baseball teams in
the Copper River Valley area.
According to Little League rules any
boy who will attain the age of 9 years
before August 1 and who will not attain
the age of 13 years before August 1 of
•the year in question shall be eligible to
compete in Little League Baseball.
In addition to the rules, each team
may not have more than 15 players nor
less than 12.
There will be some relaxing of the
rules for the first year to obtain enough
players for a team.
Members of the Little League will be
covered by insurance and will be required
to have their guardians signature in or
der to be able to play.
We hope to have teams from Gakona,
Glennallen, Copper Center,Gulkana, and
Kenny Lake.
As soon as the balance of the equip
ment arrives, all interested parties will
be contacted.
