Swansea and Somerset Little Leagues announce the combining of Senior League Baseball
Swansea Little League President Tim Plante and Somerset Little League President Matt De Costa
would like to announce that they will be combining senior leagues for the upcoming 2010 season.
The new league will form two divisions consisting of a 13-14 year old division and a
15-16 year old division. Both presidents feel this will not only make their leagues stronger
but also increase playing and pitching opportunities for all players involved.
Both presidents also stated that they hope that this move will encourage more players to
stay on longer in future years with the leagues based on these opportunities. Both leagues
have found that their older age groups have tended to move on to the AAU baseball teams
in the local area based on the fact of lack of playing and pitching opportunities in a
competitive yet fun organization.
All details for the new league will be finalized at a meeting on February 8th, 2010
at the Swansea Little League clubhouse located off G.A.R. highway in Swansea, MA. All
board members and senior league coaches from both leagues are encouraged to attend to
have their opinion heard.

pilot program for league age 12- and 13-year-olds. The pilot program will be conducted
on fields that feature a 50-foot pitching distance and 70-foot base paths. The pilot program
