Following the tremendous success of the Sandlot program last year, NSELL is pleased to announce registration for the Summer 2013 Sandlot Program for eligible 9-12 year olds.

Instead of forming teams with set rosters and coaching staffs, we will instead be conducting "Sandlot Baseball Nights" on two weeknights per week from the last week of June through the middle of August. We will provide shirts, hats, umpires, coaches and other game-related logistics. The objective is to give everyone a chance to have fun playing competitive baseball in a well organized environment. read more »

If interested in donating, there are drop-off boxes located at Newtonville Pets and the lobby at Oak Hill Middle School until June 3, 2013.
