Lyme Recreation Commission approves Fall Baseball casual league
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a low‑pressure Fall Baseball program offering one game per week and no practices; scheduling will be coordinated with Norwich Baseball Association and registration fees will cover costs.
The Lyme Recreation Commission unanimously approved continuing a Fall Baseball program intended to provide a low‑pressure environment for players transitioning to higher levels. Commissioners described the program as a casual league with one game per week and no regular practices, scheduled to avoid conflicts with local soccer programs.
Commissioners said scheduling will be coordinated by the Norwich Baseball Association, which will also arrange umpires and cover umpire pay through league organizers. Registration fees are expected to cover associated costs; the commission noted the home run fence will not be used this season. Commissioner Luke Prince moved to approve the Fall Baseball program; Commissioner Michael Hinsley seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
The program is open to all players and intended to reduce scheduling conflicts and provide playing opportunities in the fall. The commission did not specify registration dates or fees beyond the expectation that fees will cover league costs; those details will be finalized through league coordinators and registration materials.
