Little League announced this weekend that the existing Regional Centers will begin to host softball regional and state tournaments next summer:
"All five of the U.S. regional tournaments in the Little League Softball Division will now be played at the regional centers, it was announced today by Patrick Wilson, Vice President of Operations for Little League Baseball and Softball."
The excitement and opportunity to host LL Softball fans was noted by some local media:

The 2010 Little League Softball World Series has come to an end, but the champions are the same as last year: Warner Robins American Little League, Warner Robins, Georgia, representing the Southeast region.
Southeast defeated West (Burbank LL, Burbank, CA) last night, 8-6 in front of a packed house at Portland's Alpenrose Stadium and an international television audience on ESPN2.
West advanced to the final game with a win over the host team from Oregon District 4 (Tigard LL) on Tuesday night, 10-0.

Catching Up on Days 2 & 3
The 2010 Little League Softball World Series is zipping along and I have a front-row seat to all the action! And we're not just talking about the games...we're talking parents and posters and dyed hair and foul balls knocking out wireless modems and yesterday, Frosted Flakes! That all makes sense if you were at Alpenrose Stadium with me :)
The weekend games of the LLSWS allow for some additional events, such as the Challenger Game (on the Alpenrose West field) and Fun Day, that help take the girls' focus away from softball, softball, softball. The team from the Southwest has a history of taking the lead as a buddy team for the Challenger kids and they have always been awesome about participating and connecting with the kids. The West team had just suffered a defeat at the hands of Southwest, but were nonetheless out on Alpenrose West field with these kids and families, also.
I have been a part of several Challenger games and they are always a treat. I find myself holding back tears as the afternoon unfolds...so much life and fun and struggle all spilling out at you on a softball diamond.
Alpenrose West field was specially enhanced and painted with the Challenger logo and spruced up to match Alpenrose Main by Mike Hebrard and Athletic Field Design, on a busy day when all three complex diamonds were played on and in need of field prep. Oregon District 4 Challenger kids played some ball in the heat with some new friends and with Tony the Tiger and without worrying about the number of outs or the pressures of must-win games. They played the game with a bat and a tee-ball and the world slowed down and smiled...
The weekend is also when the fatigue sets it, patience has run thin, the dirty laundry pile is higher, the heat and wind start to bother you, and some of the teams have suffered a loss or two and are now out of contention. Over the last ten years, I have witnessed girls and families bond stronger, commit to enjoying the experience, take deep breaths and enjoy the beauty and circus that is the nature of a Little League World Series. I have also seen tempers flare, strong words from coaches to 11 year old girls, tears of exhaustion, homesickness, and dissapointment...the stuff of life.
ESPN starts rolling in tomorrow and a new buzz will spark energy back into volunteers and participants of the Little League Softball World Series. There will be more smiles and more ice cream sold and lots more silliness and the macarena and life goes on. The girls and families have made an incredible journey this summer -- there is no other youth sporting event that compares to the LL Softball World Series.
Today's games start later as an Alpenrose tradition. Members of the Cadonau family still reside on the property, and out of respect for their peace and quiet, games never start before noon on a Sunday. I hope we see the same respect out on the ballfield today and in the stands today. I can think of thousands of kids and families that would love to be here... the kids and families who played on Alpenrose West field yesterday that will never have a chance to participate in a Little League World Series....what an honor and a treat, so ENJOY!

Day 1: Great Games, Weather and Fans!
The first day of games in the 2010 Little League Softball World Series is in the books! Here is the first pitch of the tournament delivered by Nashaly Rivera of team Latin America (Puerto Rico):
Six teams were in action Thursday, with West (Burbank, CA), Southeast (Warner Robins, GA) and Central (Poland, OH) coming away with their first wins of Pool Play, with Canada, East and EMEA having the day off.
The new dirt infield came into play early on and showed why the extra work was worth it. We saw truer game play from these all-stars...the bunts rolled straighter and the infielders were treated to cleaner bounces and crisper play. A huge thanks to Mike Hebrard and his crew from Athletic Field Design!
I was super impressed by the quality of play on Day 1. I have watched LLSWS games for over 15 years and the competition gets better and better. The games are a treat and admission is (always) free at Alpenrose Stadium, great barbeque, and $1 scoops of ice cream -- how can you beat that? It's a long day of family entertainment, and will get better as the week rolls along.

Opening Ceremonies, Skills Challenge and Sue Enquist
Retired UCLA coach Sue Enquist provided a spark of energy in the traditional Little League Softball World Series Opening Ceremonies today, with a rousing speech to the players, coaches, families and volunteers. She graciously recognized all of the above, reminded them they are champions and motivated them like they were one of her NCAA Championship teams!
The Opening Ceremonies were followed by an ice cream social (Alpenrose Dairy provides ice cream to the local Baskin Robbins shops) and then the girls gathered in a grassy picnic area for some treats from Schutt Sports: matching batting helmets and a set of catcher's gear for each team. Afterward, the Schutt spokesperson, former collegiate coach Diane Baker, opened the Schutt Skills Competition and the girls began a fun pitch, throw, run and bat competition.
Here are today's photos:

A Wonderful Day at Alpenrose
Arrival day of the Little League Softball World Series is a day of preparation: prepare the field, prepare the barbeque, prepare the trailers, prepare the photos and the video, and prepare the girls for the week ahead!
A limousine arrived this morning shortly after 9am filled with the host team from Tigard Little League and we were off! Teams arriving at Portland International Airport were brought to Alpenrose in a limo. Team Canada rolled in from Victoria, BC in a yellow bus after winning their regional tournament late last night!
The girls got their uniforms, took photos, did their video introductions and received their new XProtex batting gloves. Tomorrow, they will meet former UCLA Coach Sue Enquist, participate in the Opening Ceremonies and the Schutt Skills Challenge, receive their new helmets and catcher's gear, and also enjoy some Alpenrose-produced ice cream!
Nine teams are at the Shilo Inn by now and resting for a big day and an exciting week ahead. It takes only one day every August to be reminded of the heart and soul of youth sports -- the players.

Canada has a champion!
Tuesday morning brings good news and some sad news; the good news is that Layritz LL, of British Columbia, defeated Alberta 13-3 last evening to win the Canada Region championship and a berth in the 2010 Little League Softball World Series!
The bad news is that we have learned that the team from the Phillippines, representing Asia Pacific, is unable to travel to Portland and has withdrawn from the tournament.
Pool B is now four teams competing and the game schedules have been adjusted on the website.
The first teams begin arriving at Alpenrose today at 9:15am(PDT)! The plan is to transform them from being a state champ into a Region Champ with their new uniforms, pictures, video and a huge welcome to Portland, Oregon!

Photos of Alpenrose Stadium!
Alpenrose Stadium, home of the Little League Softball World Series, is a Portland jewel! A working dairy facility for milk, ice cream and other products, is also the home of Little League baseball and softball, a quarter-midget racing track and bicycle velodrome.
And for ten days every August, the softball world's gaze is fixed on the dairy/stadium nestled in a southwest Portland neighborhood. Providing the only "stadium" for Little League in the area, it is in the fond memories of thousands of local ballplayers.

But, after 17 years, the main stadium field is getting a new...haircut! The infield has been skinned for the 2010 Little League Softball World Series! Thanks to Mike Hebrard and Athletic Field Design, the main diamond is now softball-ready and looking good!
Here are some photos of the transformation:
Thanks to Mike and crew for a great job!
