The Avon Grove Little League’s 11-year-old tournament team finished third in States this year.
Avon Grove Little League’s 11-year-old tournament team just finished their season as the third-best team in the state of Pennsylvania. At districts, in the championship round, they faced off against West Side (West Chester) and beat them two straight games to advance and move on to sectionals. The team went undefeated in section-
als, becoming one of two Avon Grove teams—the 12-year-old squad was the other—to make it to States. At States, they made it to the semifinals before losing to a tough Upper Providence team. They went 3-2 at States, going further in the state tournament than any team in Avon Grove Little League’s history. The goal for Avon Grove’s
12 year old team next next year, no matter who makes the squad, is to win States and make it to Regionals and than the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. “We are very proud of our boys. They all worked extremely hard for this opportunity,” said Manager Simeon Whitehill of New London Township.

KAU fall ball registration open Registration for the KAU fall baseball and softball programs is now open and will remain open through mid-September. Programs are offered for boys ages 6-18 and girls ages 7-18. See the 2015 Fall Baseball or Softball Age and League charts on the KAU website www. kaulittleleague.com for information about age groups, division eligibility and fee structure. Games will begin after Labor
Day and finish around the end of October. KAU teams typically complete against other KAU teams as well as other teams from Chester and Delaware Counties. There will be both home and away games. Home games will be held at the KAU fields on Leslie Road and the NVF Field in Kennett Square and at New Garden Park in Avondale. The away games will be held at the away teams fields. It is antici-
pated that all teams will practice one or two times per week and play games on Saturday and / or Sunday. Each player will be supplied with a jersey and cap. Parents, please register yourself if you would like to help coach or manage a team this fall season. It's always best to have more coaches to keep the players per team down to around 11 per team, but that takes volunteers to coach and manage.
