It’s time to take the mound and make your pitch.

Central Whidbey Little League is seeking a volunteer to run concessions, and league officials would be particularly interested in someone who wants to bring in new ideas and expand the menu.

Whether you’re bubbling over with ways to fire up sales and tantalize taste buds, or content to just run things as is, they want to hear from you.

If interested, contact Paula Peters at (805) 302-9162.

   Sign your child up for little league and they could be the next Landon Roberts. Well, maybe not as cool … but close. (John Fisken photo)

Four days to make the dream come true.

Central Whidbey Little League wraps up registration 8 PM Wednesday, Mar. 8, and there’s a definite need still existing for a specific type of child.

Know a kid between ages 9 and 10? Get them off the couch, off their phone and on the field.

CWLL needs at least three more girls for minors softball and has a bit of a quandary with minors baseball.

The league currently has too many players for one team, but not quite enough to field two teams.

So you, yes you, and that child you know, could be the difference. You could save your little league!!

Ask not what your little league can do for you, ask what you can do for your little league.

With baseball and softball on the horizon (and nice weather, as well?), Central Whidbey Little League is putting out a call for umpires.

If you have prior experience, dandy.

If not, come with a positive attitude and they’ll teach you everything you need to know about the job.

After that, you could be kick-starting a new career which one day winds up with you behind home plate in a Major League Baseball game.

Or, at the very least, you could help CWLL keep chugging along, which benefits the children of Whidbey Island.

If you’re interested, contact Jim Wheat at cwllumpire@gmail.com.

Maddy Georges

   Maddy “Mad Dog” Georges prepares to crush the softball (and all of the pitcher’s hopes and dreams).

Act now, save now.

Registration for the spring Central Whidbey Little League baseball and softball seasons is underway, and, if you get your children signed up in the next six days, you’ll save a few bucks.

Registration runs through Mar. 31 (the season is Apr. 1-June. 1), but you get $10 off if you sign up by Jan. 31.

So, it’s a good thing I kept this story short. Just a little time to read it and a lot of time to go grab your discount.
