NVCLL Family,
***After the email earlier tonight, I was advised that a substantial number of players could not make May 14, due to First Communion at Saint Paul's, therefore we are moving NVCLL DAY up by one week to May 7 ***
Due to the forecast of cold, wind, rain and snow for Saturday the board deliberated most of the day and eventually decided to put off Opening Day. I have been told every other Little League in Rockland that had a ceremony this Saturday already postponed theirs, we were the last one holding out hope.
Please know this is not a decision made lightly, but in order to provide the best possible experience for all of the kids of NVCLL (and parents too) we decided to not have everybody standing around on a cold blustery morning.
The date to move it to was also debated and we settled on May 7 for NVCLL DAY (no need to call it opening day at that point). By setting the date several weeks out we can ensure that we can still have a parade (since we have to file for a new permit) and on May 7 it will tie in directly with Rookie/Tee Ball Picture Day.
So where we are right now is:
1. This Saturday just has 3 Majors games scheduled (times remain the same). No parade/No ceremony/No Pictures!!! Games still could be canceled due to weather/field conditions, but as of now they are on!
2. Majors/Minors/Internationals pictures are moved to NEXT SATURDAY (April 16).
3. May 7 will be NVCLL DAY and Rookies & Tee Ball pictures.
4. We will confirm when managers can pick up uniforms at Liberty.
