The 2007 Little League season is just around the corner and registration for the Jericho Athletic Association (JAA) baseball and softball leagues has begun.

Registration for the 2007 Jericho Little League season will continue through Feb. 1. Children registered after Feb. 1, cannot be guaranteed a spot on a team roster.

Jericho Little League registration is open to all Jericho school district residents with children from kindergarten through sixth-grade (seventh-graders born between May 1 and December 31, 1994 are also eligible). Placement requests cannot be honored.

You can register your child and volunteer to coach for the 2007 season one of two ways:

By mail - Go to www.jaasports.org and print and complete a registration form and/or coaching volunteer form and mail with a check to: JAA, P.O. Box 152, Jericho, NY 11753.

In person - Attend one of the JAA registration drives:

Jan. 8 and 9, 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Jackson Elementary School

Jan. 29 and 30, 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Jackson Elementary School

Fees for the 2007 Little League season are:

$110 for kindergarten

$135 for other grades

$40 late fee for those registered after Feb. 1.

It is impossible to have a successful Little League season without coaches. As always, volunteers for coaching are greatly appreciated.

The 2007 Jericho Little League season will kick off with the annual baseball parade and Opening Day on Saturday, April 14.
