BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA

After discussing with the rest of the Little Leagues in the area this past week, we have decided to cancel the plans to hold a shortened summer season. The Leagues all agree the best step forward is to hold a lengthened fall season, starting in the beginning of August, and running into October. With the vast amount of new protocols Little League International mandates to start back up once we are in the green phase, it will give us time to get ready, and also hold registration for the fall season. 

Normally we ask players to play the fall season at the age division they will be at next season, this year players should remain in the division they were registered for spring, as they did not get to participate at that level earlier this year. 

New this fall will also be Tee Ball, running the months of August and September. Registration is now open!

Northwest Youth Athletic Association Council met on June 7th, and discussed our financial picture, and refunds for the canceled spring season. Since every family is different (amount of players, ages, etc) each families refund will vary. A questionnaire was provided on the website and we thank all that participated. If you completed the form, Northwest will direct the funds per your selection: a refund check, credit your money to the next spring season, or donate it to the league. 

Please note - If you were unable to complete the form, it is now closed, and you will receive a refund.  

Please to come to Northwest under the pavilion to receive your refund check on one of the following dates/times:

Friday, July 3 - 6:00-7:30 PM

Monday, July 6 - 6:00-7:30 PM

Below is an explanation of the refunds for the spring season.

• TEE BALL : 100% Refund of Snack stand fee, 100% of Little League fee, and 100% of NYAA fee, provided the NYAA fee was not paid for a sibling in one of our other programs (Explosion, Crush or Connie Mack).
• MINORS AND OLDER: These Divisions started practice, held team meetings, and players were fitted for jerseys that were ordered, received, and paid for. These families will receive 100% of Snack Stand fee, the players jersey and Little League fee minus $10 for the jersey, and 100% of NYAA fee, provided the NYAA fee was not paid for a sibling in one of our other programs (Explosion, Crush or Connie Mack).             

Northwest Little League would like to thank you all for your patience, as the pandemic has given us new challenges, and an unscripted playbook.

Thank you to all who turned in your raffle stubs and payment, which helped make this year's raffle a big success! This helps Northwest offset the fees paid for the 2020 cancelled spring season, such as insurance and maintenance costs - and helps provide the maximum refund possible. The Northwest Youth Athletic Association Treasurer will be contacting the winners and mailing their checks.
