Newton SouthEast Little League has been exploring options to provide a safe and enjoyable baseball experience for our members during these unprecedented times.  We have been working with the City of Newton and utilizing City, State and Little League International guidelines to determine how best we can offer a program to our players, coaches, and families.  We thank you for your patience while we worked through this process.

You can view the plan and guidelines for the 2020 season on our website at https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.leagueathletics.com/Text/Documents/8977/98565.pdf

Now that the State has moved to Phase 2 of the Massachusetts Reopening Plan the NSELL Board has made the following decisions:

• NSELL will provide a summer program for AAA (grade 4+) and Majors Players.  This program will begin in early July and run for an estimated 6 weeks, subject to scheduling.  All players registered in those divisions for the 2020 Spring Season will automatically have their registrations moved to the new programs.  The league may need to adjust roster assignments based on the number of participants.  There may be interleague play scheduled at the discretion of NSELL.
• We will not offer a program for T-Ball, Farm, or AA players.  Given the challenges of maintaining distancing and other safety requirements needed with those age groups the Board has determined it is not feasible to safely run those programs at this time.  All registration fees for those programs will be refunded to the original credit card used.  Please note this is a manual procedure and we will endeavor to process these as quickly as we are able to.
• Players who do not wish to participate may elect to have their registration fees refunded or may contribute them as a donation to Newton SouthEast Little League.  If you are registered in the AAA or Majors program and wish to receive a refund please email   so that we can process it.  
• Our policy is that no child should be denied the opportunity to play baseball due to a family's financial situation.  Please email   if you would like to make a confidential request for a scholarship.
• NSELL is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and we continue to incur costs maintaining our fields, purchasing equipment and supplies, etc., so your donation is appreciated.  We have opened a button for donations on the NSELL website. Given the unforeseen circumstances our program has, and continues to be faced with during this pandemic, any donation is greatly appreciated.
• We will continue to evaluate options to provide alternative plans for younger players during the summer, such as limited-space clinics.  Any such programs will be announced via our mailing list and website.

For further details please see the full document linked above.

NSELL would also like to publicly thank our sponsors for their continued and ongoing support - we could not provide the programs we do without their assistance.  Please see their listings on our web pages and in turn support them with your patronage.

Thank you for your patience and understanding and look forward to safely seeing you on the fields soon.
