Webutuck Little League sets Opening Day for April 6

MILLERTON — The Webutuck Little League is planning the 2024 season and set Opening Day for Saturday, April 6, at Eddie Collins Park in Millerton. Registration for all divisions continues until Friday, March 1.

The League board met Monday, Feb. 19, at American Legion Post 178 to discuss preparation for a season of games in Millerton and at Beekman Park in Amenia. Both fields were the scene of games last season.

To date, 52 players have signed up: 38 for baseball and 14 for softball. League Treasurer Amiee Duncan noted that this is on par with registration last year, and this year the League offers a new softball division.

At the Legion meeting, the dozen volunteers, whose dedication provides players from age 4 to 16 with the traditional American Little League experience, discussed plans for sponsorships, prepping for tryouts, safety training for coaches and coach clinics as well as other events planned for the spring.

President DJ Reilly updated on plans for a future concession stand at Beekman Park, and Duncan stressed that parents and volunteers are needed as coaches and to help at games and in the community.

The divisions include Tee Ball, Minors, Majors and Seniors. Some scholarships are available, Duncan said.
