How many games will we play? 12 games before playoffs. Can you tell me when and where my kids will play and when the games will start? No, we can't give you that information because our schedules have not been created yet and won't be done until our teams are formed, but we can tell you that each team will be scheduled for two games a week, one during the week, Monday – Thursday, and then a Saturday game. Friday's and Sunday's are left open for make-up games. The following is a matrix of the divisions and fields where those games are usually scheduled and the times those games start.

All uniforms from AAA up will have belted pants and from AA down will have an elastic waist with drawstring. Do I need to provide a glove? Yes, you can get one at Sports Authority, Dicks Sporting Goods, All Star Sports, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. When does practice start? Practice starts April 1st because that’s when our permits are issued by the Park Authority. How are teams formed? Teams for T-Ball and A/Machine Pitch are formed either by requesting a Manager or geographical location. Teams for AA through Seniors are formed through the draft process.

Parent Feedback Requested - Manager/Coach Selection A key element in Manager/Coach selection is the screening process. Feedback from the parents of returning or former players is extremely important and is a critical part of the process. In this area, too often only those with general or specific complaints/issues with an individual are heard from. Many Managers/Coaches do not get enough support and/or recognition when families have had a favorable experience. As the President of Dale City Little League, I am asking you to take a few minutes and complete the Manager/Coach Evaluation Form. Your comments will be kept in confidence. Specifically what I'd like to see are comments about the individual in the areas of: Knowledge of the Game, Skills Development, Sportsmanship, Fair Play, Dedication, Discipline, Communication, and General Attitude towards the kids, parents, umpires and opposing teams/coaches. The strengths of an applicant in these key areas are important in encouraging or allowing the applicant future opportunities. I encourage you to be objective, and to share your family's experience with these important individuals who share the lives of your children, both positive and/or negative experiences. I Thank You in advance for your time and well thought-out contributions to the Manager/Coach selection process! You may mail the completed form to DCLL, PO Box 1428, Dale City, VA 22195, ATTN: Manager Evaluation OR drop it off at one of the walk-in registrations. Volunteer Application Dale City Little League is in need of your support, time and energy. If you would like to help volunteer during the season please fill out the Volunteer Application. You may return the completed form along with a copy of a photo ID at one of the walk-in registrations or mail it to, DCLL, PO Box 1428, Dale City, VA 22195. 2009 Spring Season Sponsorship Letter DCLL has four sponsorship levels for the 2009 Spring Season: Bronze - under $250; Silver - $250 - $499; Gold - $500 - 649; Platinum - $650 and up.
