In order to combat the disturbing decline in youth sports enrollment across the country in youth baseball programs we were approached by Deep Run with a desire to combine both leagues under one program. We have reached a point whereby we want to announce the status of the discussions with our general membership. We recognize there are varied opinions about doing this as it has been talked about in previous years. The due diligence we have gone thru so far has yielded some positive and interesting results but still we have work to do which includes the approval of Little league.
We felt that we should make you aware of this discussion. This is not intended as a notice to approve or disapprove the process but rather to bring everyone interested up to speed that we are continuing to have discussions as well as the work that still needs to be done.

If we are able to work thru all the items required to handle this transition we are targeting a spring 2020 merger but recognize that it may not occur until fall 2020. This transaction would still require Board and voting member approval. We will be transparent with our community throughout the process.
Thanks!
Pennridge Little League Board
