Little League Baseball in Crystal Lake is

Bigger and Better than ever.

American and Continental Little Leagues have merged to create the an even stronger organization to help our youth in Crystal Lake learn the fundementals of baseball and become better citizens.

We are excited to have the details finalized for the 2012 CLLLB Family Movie Night!  This is a fantastic opportunity for all the CLLLB families to join together for a night of family-friendly fun and relaxation.  

This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever!  First, we have almost twice as many families able to participate, thanks to the merger.  Secondly, Pump It Up has agreed to provide bounce equipment to add to the fun.  Our sponsors will have the opportunity to attend and provide information about their businesses.  Culvers will be open if you choose to purchase dinner or a snack.  We will also be drawing the winning tickets for the 2012 CLLLB raffle.  Finally, the evening culminates with a showing of The Perfect Game - a heartwarming story of the 1957 Little League World Series.  

Here are the details:

What?    2012 Family Movie Night
Where?  Our baseball diamonds at Lippold Park
Who?     All 2012 CLLLB players and families
When?   Saturday, June 9, 2012, beginning at 5:30pm

Additional Details:

The evening begins at 5:30 with Pump It Up offering free playtime in their bounce equipment.   We ask that players wear their hats and jerseys, and arrive no later than 6:45.  This will allow team introductions at 7:00pm, followed by sponsor introductions.

The winning raffle tickets will be drawn at 7:45.  

The movie will begin at 8:15, and is 2 hours long.  Please bring blankets and/or lawn chairs, as we will be sitting on the baseball diamond for the movie.  

The movie we will be watching is The Perfect Game.  The Perfect Game is a 2009 American drama film directed by William Dear, based on the 2008 book of the same name written by W. William Winokur.  The film is based on the events leading to the 1957 Little League World Series, which was won by the first team from outside the United States, the Industrial Little League of Monterrey, Mexico, who defeated the heavily favored U.S. team.  Mexican pitcher Angel Macias threw the first, and so far only, perfect game in championship game history.  

There is no charge for any of the events on Family Movie Night (except for Culvers).
We hope to see everyone there!
