III.STATUS <br />1990 - A pivotal year for OBA! We now have the <br />population base, the program, the interest <br />and support of our parents and the <br />financial plans and resources to receive <br />our own Little League Charter. The new <br />charter will be in place for the 1990 <br />season. <br />- Major leagues will remain at 4 teams for <br />1990 but must expand to 6 teams in 1991 <br />due to increased census in 10 to 12 age <br />group. <br />- Minor league will expand to 12 or 13 <br />teams. <br />- T-ball and Instructional leagues also have <br />increasing participation. <br />- We project a 1990 OBA program that v .11 <br />serve over 450 youth ages 5 thru 12. <br />NEEDS - Since we will now nave our own charter we <br />need a regulation Little League Field. <br />- Wolner Fields in Mound are over-flowing <br />and not available for our continued use <br />beyond 1990. <br />- Holbrook Park in Long lake was built for <br />softball and is not "regulation” LL <br />(fences too long, no safety screen in <br />front of durouts, etc.). We are currently <br />utilizing Holbrook Tuesday and Thursday <br />evenings, but are there on "borrowed time" <br />due to demands for use by other groups. <br />- Therefore, to facilitate having our own LL <br />Charter and our own LL system and to <br />enhance a program that directly serves <br />250 youth, we need our own regulation LL <br />field! <br />IV. THE FIELD <br />A) A regulation LL field fits perfectly on the <br />previously described site at Bederwood Park. <br />B) A diagram of a regulation LL field is enclosed.
