Spring Season Review
We’ve had a very successful spring baseball season as we enter our end of season tournament play!! Thank you to all the volunteers that have made this possible; from helping set up the fields, volunteering in the snack shack, coaching our players, scorekeeping……it takes a village!!!

Coach of the Year
Congratulations to John Goodman (Juniors, Braves) for his selection as TLL and D33 Coach of the Year! Coach Goodman has volunteered as a coach (baseball and softball) for over ten years, at times managing multiple teams during the same season! His commitment to developing the character of our local youth through baseball is unmatched and we are fortunate to have his talents!

Leadership Award
Little League Board President Jeff Staggs was recently honored by D33 with the Scott Simmons Leadership Award. Jeff was selected for his impact on little league, emphasis on complying with Little League rules, choosing managers and coaches of character, and demonstrated courage and character in dealing with issues at the league level. Congratulations Jeff!!

All Stars
All Stars season is around the corner!!! Minors, Majors and Juniors divisions will each have an All-Star team. Players will select the first 5 all stars and division managers will select the remaining players to form a 12 player team. All stars will be announced at the end of May with games to begin mid June.

TOC (Tournament of Champions)
TOC is held for Minors, Majors and Juniors Divisions. All teams (except Juniors) will play a double elimination bracket against other Tierrasanta teams in the same division. The winner from each division will go on to play a double elimination bracket versus other D33 teams.

Starting dates for TOC brackets:
Minors: May 13th
Majors: May 14th
Juniors: May 29th

Patriot’s Day Parade
It’s that time again! Tierrasanta Little League players and coaches, come march with us in the annual Patriots Day Parade on Saturday May 18th.. This is a wonderful community event that the kids really enjoy.

• We will be meeting in the Canyon Hills High School parking lot at 9:30AM on May 18th.
• Several streets will be closed off the morning of the parade. Parking will be challenging so please plan ahead. Carpool if possible or walk from home.
• Parade route starts at Canyon Hills High School, continues down Tierrasanta Blvd. and finishes behind the Tierrasanta Fire Station/Library. (FYI-If you park in the Farb Middle School parking lot, and surrounding streets, you’ll be stuck until the parade ends and streets are open again.)
• Typical time commitment is 9:30am-11:30am. You’re welcome to leave the group early if you have other events that day.
• Players will pass out treats along the parade route. We will provide candy, but you’re welcome to bring additional treats, beads etc. to pass out as well.
• Players should wear their TLL jersey and hats with comfortable shoes. No cleats, No Bats, No Balls please. We don’t want any accidental injuries.

President’s Corner
We hope you enjoyed your spring season! We’d welcome any feedback you might have – positive or negative – so we can improve the league for future seasons. Send your feedback to: [email protected].

We are also looking for "new blood" on the board! With the departure of Mel Espinosa, we are down to 9 board members (filling 11 roles). Please consider joining the board to make TLL even better!

TLL day at USD Toreros was a big hit! The kids got to run on the field with the players, throw out the first pitch, and announce "play ball!" We’ll definitely consider doing it again next year, so come join us! Special thanks to Kara Proffitt for helping organize this event.
