South County Little League

INVITES YOU TO OUR INAUGURAL

LESLIE POWELL MEMORIAL
GOLF TOURNAMENT

For the Benefit of South County Little League

On Friday, October 15, 2010, South County Little League will be hosting the Leslie Powell Memorial Golf Tournament. Leslie, a Crosspointe resident, was a long-time volunteer at the SCLL Golf Tournaments and was usually the smiling face checking in the golfers at each tournament. She was a firm believer in supporting youth in the community and had a major impact on the lives of numerous South County children. Tragically, a heart condition took Leslie from all of us this past May. To honor her commitment to SCLL and the youth in the community, SCLL re-named one of its Golf Tournaments in Leslie’s honor. For those of you with children in SCLL, you may have met her son Alex who umpired many games the last few seasons.

The Golf Tournament – a shotgun scramble -- will be held at Westfields Country Club in Clifton, VA. Registration starts at 7:00 am and the tournament will commence at 8:00 am. The cost is $175.00 with proceeds to benefit the youth of SCLL, in particular to assist with the construction of two new ball fields and concession stand at Lower Potomac Park which is located off Route 1. The registration fee includes golf, lunch, practice range use, and drinks.

NEW FIELDS AT LOWER POTOMAC

posted 07/23/2010

Groundbreaking with Former President Mulcahy, President Buchholz, and Former President Orlick

“IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME”
Ground has been broken on two new fields at Lower Potomac Park. The new “Coffman Field” is designed like a “Reverse Fenway” – 225’ feet to LF and CF (25’ longer than existing majors fields) and 200’ to RF with a 10’ Green Monster. Perhaps more importantly, a new T-ball field also is being constructed so, for the first time, T-Ball teams will have their own field at the SCLL main baseball complex at Lower Potomac!!

Efforts to turn Lower Potomac into an all baseball facility began years ago under former Lorton Little League President Pete Mulcahy. After Pete left the board, current league Vice President Bob Kirk picked up the cause. The conversion of Lower Potomac into an all baseball facility and the installation of irrigation systems became his main focus upon joining the Lorton Little League board. After years of effort (and a league name change), and with the guidance of past President Jim Orlick and the leadership of current President Bob Buchholz, these efforts have finally paid off. The dream of an all baseball facility with irrigation systems at Lower Potomac will soon be a reality. You can track the progress of construction in the Pictures section of the SCLL website.

Numerous past and present board members and SCLL parents have volunteered their time to assist in this process. In particular, Daryl Coffman has been the driving force behind the construction of the new fields – donating the use of equipment and pouring countless hours into the construction process. Rick Kapani has been instrumental in raising funds for the construction of the new fields and Chris Morin donated hours of his time to prepare the design diagrams to make this a reality.

The improvements, however, would not have been possible without the support of Supervisor Gerry Hyland and his staff – in particular the tireless efforts of Christine Morin. If you see Supervisor Hyland or Ms. Morin, please be sure to thank them for their efforts.

Finally, SCLL would like to let the league know that we are not done yet. The League’s Capital Improvement Committee -- Bob Kirk, Bob Buchholz, Bernie Bennick (your league concession manager), Rick White, and Rick Kapani, have been working to make a new concession stand with BATHROOMS a reality. Preliminary drawings have been completed and efforts are underway. Of course, these improvements will depend upon the availability of capital which, as you can imagine, is running low as a result of the field construction. Donations for the new concession stand and fundraising ideas are much appreciated. Elections for a new board will be coming soon and the league always welcomes new board members and new ideas. A number of board members will be “retiring” this year, so please do not hesitate to step up and run for the board. Go SCLL!!
