Opening Day for South Tahoe Little League Saturday

An Opening Day celebration is planned at the South Tahoe Little League Complex this Saturday, April 25th. A parade and ribbon cutting ceremony are planned prior to the start of scheduled games. The parade will start on the street next to the South Tahoe Middle School tennis courts at 9:00 a.m. with a planned parade path to follow Lyons Avenue to Rufus Allen, and into the major’s field by way of the snack shack entrance. Parking will not be available at South Tahoe Middle School due to the eWaste collection event. Parking is available along Rufus Allen Blvd. and the parking lot at the Recreation Swim Complex located at 1180 Rufus Allen Blvd.

Cooperation between the South Tahoe National Little League, Lake Tahoe Unified School District, City of South Lake Tahoe, the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Facilities Joint Powers Authority, Fields Advisory Committee, and Community Athletic Coordinating Council has resulted in creating opportunities such as the new multi-use field and new T-Ball field at that site that benefit kids and the community.

The Fields Advisory Committee met last week and made final decisions on the spending of the $500,000 that was allocated for fields in Measure R. The added multi-purpose field at Al Tahoe was built last summer, and is ready to go into use this season. The final $29,825 of the $500,000 will go for added backstop and street side (Rufus Allen) safety netting on the new field, plus needed fencing at the new T-Ball field that was built at the back of the Al Tahoe property.
