Picture Day is Saturday, May 3rd

Picture Day will be held rain or shine on Saturday, May 3rd at Sewellcrest Park (SE 31st & Market).  Managers will notify their team of the time to be ready and at the park.  Team parents/managers should have the picture packet with the order forms but you can also order online at www.chphoto.com

Click on "order sports portraits", then enter access code SEPLL 14.  Bring your proof of purchase with you on photo day to give to the photographer.  This code is not valid after picture day.  Thank you to Craig Huston photography for sponsoring 2 of our teams too!

New Little League Boundary Rules

Little League International has just revised boundary rules which will now allow a child to play for a league if his/her school is physically located within the league boundaries, even if the child lives outside of those boundaries. 

There are currently several magnet schools with Powell Little League boundaries and previously, if a child attending one of those (such as Buckman, Sunnyside, Winterhaven, etc) did not live within the league borders, the child would not be able to play with his/her schoolmates.  This has now been rectified- additional information and background can be found in this Little League International video.
