Welcome back AmSoc families, it is time for Little League season to start up in São Paulo.
The end of season awards day is just one of the confidence-building features for kids in AmSoc Little League.
As with most activities in Brazil, our program is a little more laid back. Little league here is sponsored and run by the American Society and offers classes for your young ones in soccer, softball, basketball, tennis, and baseball (if interest is sufficient we may come up with a tag-style version of American Football as well).
Activities are generally held on Saturday mornings at either Graded or Chapel schools depending on their availability and run in two time slots, allowing your young ones to participate in two sports if they so desire. Practices are run from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and then from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Schedules are distributed at registration and will also be available on the AmSoc Web site.
Kids are expected to be kids and we very much try to emphasize the fun aspects of the game and work on fundamentals while at Little League. Scrimmages will be held at the end of each session but the whole effort is supposed to be fun for the coaches and kids. We generally have more than 100 participants and your kids are welcome to come out and participate.
Registration is Feb. 6, and we will be having open registration for little league as well as a BBQ (churrasco style) at Graded School (Giovanni Gronchi, 4710) from 10 a.m to 12 p.m. You can register at this time.
