It is with deep and
profound regret that we announce that Sachem Little League has made a very
tough decision. We are closing the league, effective immediately. We apologize
very much for the inconvenience this may cause. It is heartbreaking to close a
league that has been in existence since 1958 and it was a decision that we did
not make lightly.
Unfortunately, registration
has been in decline for several years. But this year our numbers were well
below half of what they were even last year. We did not have enough players for
even two teams in any division, and many divisions did not have enough
registrants to field even one team. In addition, aside from a core group of a
few volunteers—whom we thank profusely for their service over the years—we simply
didn’t have the coordinated help it takes to run a youth sports organization.
The Sachem Little League
Board would like to take this opportunity to thank every one for
their support through the years and we hope you remember the good times, the
smiles on kids’ faces and the friendships made.
Anyone wishing to
receive a refund can request one by contacting [email protected]. Please be aware that the refund will be less
$10 per registration because of fees we incurred with the payment
center that processed your credit card.
Again we are so sorry
that we could no longer be your Little League.
Sincerely,
Sachem Little League
