LAMAR LITTLE LEAGUE 2006 - 2007 Lamar Field Usage Policy by Non-Lamar Little League Teams (revised 10/26/06 ) The purpose of this document is to provide a clear understanding of the position of the Lamar Little League Board of Directors in regard to field usage at George Park by Non-Lamar Little League Teams. The Lamar Little League Board of Directors fully supports the concept of Select Team Baseball as an extension of, and only an extension of, Little League Baseball. Further, the Lamar Little League Board of Directors in no way supports Select Baseball over Little League Baseball. The Lamar Little League Board of Directors is duly charged with the responsibility of operating Lamar Little League in a manner as outlined by the Little League Operating Manual as well as operating Lamar Little League in a sound and fiduciary manner. General Requirements: 1. Rosters of Select Teams for ages 12 & UNDER MUST consist of 100% Lamar Little League players. Rosters of Select Teams ages 13 & OVER MUST consist of at least 50% Lamar Little League players. (Both 100% and 50% age groups are defined as that player (not a sibling) having participated in the current or most recent prior spring season). 2.

The Manager of the Select Team must have a (child) player registered and playing with Lamar Little League in the previous or up-coming spring season.
