New Business/ other o Idea of “local competition baseball” introduced.  Program intended for kids that currently play, and will remain playing in little league.  League would be opportunity for additional play time and put together under premise that little league would be primary focus and this would be for players, and parents, that are looking for a bit more.  Open to kids 9 to 13.  Leagues run April to July, stopping during district all star play  This would be independent from North little league. There would not be any financial or administrative ties to North or Little League International. The only ties would be the players and likely the coaches.  Motion approved to begin discussions.
