Parent & Player Information

Lamar Little League is excited about the opportunity to combine our love of baseball with our love for all the children in our community.  League of Champions is Lamar Little League’s name for the Challenger Division as outlined by Little League Baseball and is organized by the Board and parents of Lamar Little League. Each player will have the opportunity to strengthen their self-esteem through the proven socialization benefits of participating in team sports.  League of Champions operates under the “Buddy” system where players will be paired with a Buddy to encourage them and offer support when needed.  Player families are encouraged to sit back and cheer the players from the stands. 

All players must have a completed Player Form and Medical Release on file with Lamar Little League prior to taking the field. 

All games will be played at Lamar Little League’s fields #4 or #8 every Saturday starting at 9:00 a.m.  The parking lot closest to these fields will be closed to non-Champions Division families until after the games have started.  The League of Champions Division will consist of 4 teams with a maximum of 14 players per team.  Each team will have 2 Coaches and a Team Parent.  Players will be issued standard uniforms consisting of a team jersey, hat, belt, socks and pants.  The League will provide basic playing equipment (batting helmet, glove, bat, and balls) however, personal equipment is allowed following Little League specifications.  Team and individual pictures will be taken prior to the start of season play.   

League of Champions will operate under the rules as specified by Little League Baseball’s Challenger Division.  League of Champions rules are designed to insure that all players get a hit, all players get on base, and everyone scores.  A batter can choose a coach-pitched ball, a batting Tee or be assisted by their Buddy.  No score will be kept.  We will celebrate outs by the defense, however, all batters will take the bases.  A game will be considered complete after 2 complete innings of continuous batting or after 90 minutes of playing time, which ever is less. There are no practices, and all games will be held simultaneously Lamar Little League.   

The 2008 League of Champions Season will consist of approximately 7 - 8 games and culminate with a trophy presentation and banquet for all division players, Buddies and coaches.
